Hi Everyone, I'm so glad to have found a community like this! I came out to close friends and family about 6 months ago, including my husband. We are now starting the divorce process. We've yet to tell our kids, both elementary school aged, which is weighing on my mind. I'm feeling good about the "gay" part of all this, but a bit more stressed about the divorce. More specifically, being on my own. It's a little scary to think about. Exciting too, but after 30 some years in the closet, feeling stuck, trying to please everyone else, I know I have a lot to learn about myself before I can be with someone else. I do feel a bit lonely though and think it's going to be a challenge to find companionship without holding on tightly to the first person that gives me some attention...if that makes sense. Anyway, that's me and what's on my mind today.
:welcome:It's exciting coming out.. but so nerve-wracking. I've seen EC'ers in similar situations, you have a place to come to in here if you ever need it It's best to tell your kids sooner rather than later, I feel- to help them grow up with acceptance, however rough the initial year is. :smilewave
