Hi. My name is Ceejee, and I'm new here. I joined because for the first time in my life I'm finally working to accept myself and my sexuality. I'm still trying to figure it all out, and I'm a little late to the party since I'm 40 years old. I'm struggling because I was raised in a religious household and haven't escaped those teachings. Anyway, I'm glad to be here.
Hi there and welcome to the community! Glad you have decided to join. You will find quite a few members have accepted and come out later in life. Feel free to post and ask questions. You might find the LGBT Later in Life sub-forum to be particularly useful. Welcome.
Ceejee.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! There is a sub-forum here titled “LGBT Later in Life” if you post there I think you’ll find people who will understand what you are dealing with. I certainly don't think you're late to the party...I came out when I was 64 and have been so much happier ever since! This is a community of loving, caring and very supportive people and we will do our best to help you blend into the community. You can ask questions in any of the Sub-forums by creating a new thread or by joining in a conversation-thread that is already going. You can also post a message on anyone's Profile Page after you have made at least ten posts yourself. If you have a question that is somewhat private you can always send a Private Message to any Staff Member. Normally Private Messages can only be exchanged between two Full Members, but a PM to a Staff Member is an exception. We are so glad that you have found us here on Empty Closets! .....David
Hello Ceejee, welcome. This is a great forum, so much to gain from reading mother people’s experiences
Thank you, David. I appreciate the openness already. I'm not out but to a select few people, so I don't have a lot of support in "real life." I think this forum will help.
Hi I’m relatively new her too. I’d love to chat with anyone here who is interested in discussing sexuality.
How are you getting on? I can’t stop reading different forums on here, so much to learn. I have always known I wasn’t straight, but due to feeling ashamed and not really understanding myself, I brushed it under the carpet. These feelings have got stronger, not less, and now my children are older I have finally come out to my husband. It felt scary but amazing to tell him.
