Open Coming Out

I started coming out at age 30 & I am still in the process. But I am out for the most part. My mother has not talked to me in over a year now & my sis just started iming me after a year of silence. I do have a partner of 6 yrs. I knew as early as 8 yrs old that I liked girls but due to society & family I stayed away from that. I married because it was the right way. And have been unhappy for the majority of my life but now I am learning to accept myself for me.
