As the son of a great mother, I'd want my mom to be happy... So I'm sure your kids would understand... it may take a while, but it is a huge change. You deserve to be happy as well so don't try to hide who you are .
I told my kids.... They were ok. I was the one that cried... A lot! My son is worried homosexuality is hereditary. My daughter wondered why I wouldn't fancy her because in her words , she is fit, lol. That gave us a laugh. I'm glad I told them. Just got to tell the partner...
Wow! Scared, good for you! Does it feel like a massive weight is off your shoulders? Congratulations. My guess is that you've crossed the most emotionally difficult hurdle, the next is the logistical one? But it sounds like you're on a roll - hoping all continues to go so well for you!
Thanks I do feel a lot better for it. They also understand there could be implications in terms of the house, but yes they want me to be happy. I'm a bit of an emotional wreck... On top of the world one minute and crying the next.
Ha! I know that feeling all too well. I call it my emotional pendulum and I've been riding it in an extremely wide arc for the past month or so. I understand the house thing too, we're getting ready to put ours up for sale. I'm trying to look at it as a completely new start. It helps, at least when the pendulum is on the upswing. :dry:
Okay, my sister and best friend now know. I wimped out and texted... They both came round. They hugged me and I cried... But it's done.
Wow! You are just breaking down that closet door, aren't you? :eusa_clap (!) (!!) :eusa_danc There, that's my little dance party for you. Congrats. How's it feel?
Haha dragon bait that comment makes me smile I guess I am! But only to select ppl. One person to go and that's it, no one else needs to know. It actually feels good. I've been talking to a woman online for a few days too and that feels fab!
