Hi Elizabeth
Your post really hit home to me, and its one I wish I had written since so much of it reflects my experiences and feelings. As the "strong one" in my family, everyone would come to me for help and advice, but no one ever really asked how I was doing.......and I had this side of me that remained hidden. Like others, I had been to chatrooms, other forums etc, but this one struck me as so earnest and after lurking for awhile, I finally joined. And I'm not a joiner. Looking back at my first post in '04, my doubts about my first time in public with others and where I am now kinda amazes me. I have to say the support, shared experiences and helpful hints
here have been a huge help. Thats not to say that I've become everything I dream of, but I do so enjoy the company here and of those I've actually met. Without the "barrier" of hiding who we are, its so wonderful to just be myself. I still have fears, limits and trepidations, but life is good now And now having met an SO that understands and supports me....well that was just a dream years ago. I guess dreams can come true. So, it is an adventure, but I did say in an earlier post "I don't want to be on my death bed wishing I had..........." We all share so much here and its good Thank you all for being here....and I thank the moderators and admins for the huge effort they put in to keep this such a wonderful forum.
Hugs all
