    Hello, I'm Katie and I'm from Ontario (Canada). I just turned 40, I'm married to a man and we have a young child together.
    I began questioning my sexuality when I was about 17 and settled on bi in my late 20's, but recently I've been thinking that I've been denying my true feelings and that I'm actually a lesbian. I'm going to post more about this later.
    A few things about me is I like to knit and cross stitch in my down time after my little one goes to bed or play video games. I just started to replay Bioshock Infinite. I used to be an avid reader but I don't have the focus much since I had my little one. That's about it, I'm a pretty boring stay at home mom.

    Thank you, I'm really happy to find this site. It's the first time that I've reached out to the LGBT community and I'm already beginning to feel better about myself.

    Hi @KatieTO and welcome to EC. :slight_smile:

    You’ve come to the right place. You’ll find quite a few people here who have questioned their sexuality whilst in a heterosexual relationship, with children. I am one of them myself and I found EC to be a great source of support. I hope that you do too.

    Thanks, it's been great to find this place. I've been looking at the different forums, especially the LGBT late in life. I had no idea that it was common to still be questioning yourself at this point in life.

    Yeah, it really surprised me too. It really helps to know that you’re not alone. :slight_smile:
