    Figured I would introduce myself. I am a 27 year old woman. I was married for 5 years before we separated because of my sexuality. I have a son who is just over 2 years old. I had always identified as bi since early high school. I did the "normal" thing and went to college, got married to a man, bought a house and had a child. Even though it seemed I had the picture perfect life, I was unhappy.

    I started therapy and realized I had been pretending for too long. I left my husband 6 months ago and he is pretty supportive of my choices. He is still trying to heal of course but I am lucky that he has been as nice as he has. I am now in a relationship with a woman. We live together and I am out to pretty much everyone except work.

    I am here because I am still having a hard time dealing with the guilt of tearing apart the family I had. I worry that I will mess up my son. That he will hate me. I have anxiety about my ex bringing a new woman home and my son calling her mom. And I worry that a year or two down the road I will change my mind and want to be with my ex again.

    I am just hoping there are others out there in the same situation so that I don't feel so isolated and freakish.
