    A little about me. I am 59 and just coming to terms with who I truly am. There's alot of emotional ups and downs but I guess it's never to late. I'm hoping to find some exceptence and maybe a place to belong.

    Hi MikeL1962,

    Welcome to EC. I just came out to myself as bisexual three years ago. Then immediately to my wife, and months later to our (grown, adult) kids, and other family. I have found EC to be a very supportive place.

    Hi Mike! Welcome.

    I came out at 38 and I’m now 51. Age is just a number.

    It’s not an easy journey but it really is good to just be yourself. :slight_smile:
