Anne, You wrote my story for me, as it is so similar! I have come out to five people. And, hope to strut out that front door soon. Each is on their own journey, and all on different levels and paths, but, the depression, denial, hiding, pretending, going along, is all too painful. As Marla, said, though, this thing can take over, and cause us troubles we never bargained for, if we let it. We must be careful, as in all things. I still value my male self, as well as Alice side. Thanks for pouring your heart out here. I can shure relate.
