    Hi all
    This is the first time I've ever written on a forum. Where do I start??? Okay I came out to my mother when I was 17yrs old, her reaction was shouting, crying and expressing how I'd let her down. I was a disappointment. This crushed me and I ended up marrying a man to ease her sadness and have been married for 14 years. I've always been bisexual but managed to push my feelings for women aside but this is becoming incredibly difficult. I'm riddled with guilt as my husband is a good guy and very kind. The guilt is just too much. I'm looking just to talk to people who are a community.
    Thank u x

    Hi & Welcome to EC!

    You're in the right place, there's so much support here!

    I'm so sorry that your Mum wasn't supportive and the reaction you got to coming out was so negative. I also understand the struggle of trying to push feelings back, hence my anger towards people who claim being anything but straight is a choice!

    Happy to talk should you wish to! I'm in the UK too! London to be exact.

    Big Love!

    Amz... :heart:
