Coming Out Support Group

Having been a wife of a gay man (still in denial), I commend you for stepping up to the plate. It's just sad though that we woman (wives) were used as innocent shields to hide this secret than live with your sexual preference. You have set yourself free to live your true life. Can't look back , only forward. Eighteen years was better than twenty seven. He is still spiteful I divorced him and left him to be exposed. Sad, he was in need of therapy for years becuase I was his aggressive/ hostile target fo him being coward enough not living his authentic life. Good luck to you. Just understand the ex's family knowledge of your being an admitted GAY validates their years of questioning your sexuality. sueQ

ha, i'll admit that i've never gone through that before, but i do know what it's like to feel a million different emotions all at once.
every woman does!

what you need to do is slow down and let yourself take one emotion at a time. start with negitive feelings. think about them. think about why you are feeling them, and then realize that it's all right and normal to feel them. and it'll make it easier to pass those on to get rid of them later.

then, after that, start with the positive emotions.
and analyze them the same way. so then, it'll kinda mesh into a goal of why you are feeling excited, or happy, or whatever and what you want to do to accomplish that goal to keep these feelings up.

i hope this helps!
good luck, keep us posted!
much love,

dont look back look forward, dont look down look up and carpe diem!

Just take it one step at a time. As sad as it is that your ex wifes family does not accept it, when you live true to yourself that happens. But the good news is it gives you the chance to see who really cares. Those that do will accept you, but it may take some time. Just have fun for now and if you meet a great guy and you feel comfortable with him, go for it! Just take it one day at a time, good luck!
