When I was 12 years old I told my mom that I thought I was a Lesbian. She said it was normal at my age to experiment and that she had done the same thing. I dated many girls and was just always open about my feelings. When I was 17 I decided to date a man, got pregnant and married and tried to live a straight life. We had a very sexless marriage, other than the few times we did and I got pregnant. I have three children and am divorced. I now have a fiance that is female. My family has known since I was young and I had no problems telling them even though we weren’t close. After the divorce I told my Mom that I was dating a woman and she said “thank God”. LOL. Any friends I have made I have been honest with them upfront. I have been accepted by everyone. I am very happy to be out and be myself. I couldn’t live any other way.
