I have to explain and excuse my attitude tonight. I have my protective hackles up. I feel all kinds of things over those of us making apologies for who we feel we truly are.
Many of us started out in 'normal' relationships, and had the landscape shift under us, and then we work to try and understand how this change affected our families.
It *isn't* a failure. It *isn't* a weakness. We didn't lie. Things *changed*
We have been and can be honest partners. We have an extra challenge that most don't.
I hope you/we can find ways to integrate our selves into our 'standard' lives.
