Hi Jeri.
April raises a good point around planning and finances.
It is a big step to take and if you are really set on it then your coming out will be exhilarating and scary at the same time.
One thing that I always had in mind was that I was prepared to lose friends and relatives. Even then it still came as a slap in the face when those who had been long time friends could not adjust.
I hope that those who know of Jeri will support you.
It did take me a number of months to make new connections but there are always people who will like you for who you are not what you are.
Of course you will always have friends here.
