All About Me (They're kidding, right?)
Hmmm. I'm 42, most of the way "out", and this is one way of showing my face to a community that doesn't feel like it's really mine, yet.
I'm separated from my husband of 15 years, have three children, and found out about myself when I fell in love with my best friend a year and a half ago.
I'm hoping to connect with other women in similar situations, to commiserate and provide mutual support.

My Interests
I love the outdoors, and find myself creatively inspired whenever I spend time in natural settings. I enjoy beading and love to hack away with my watercolors. When life (especially my love life) gets to be completely overwhelming, I write poetry. It's really bad poetry, but it gets the job done.
I run quite a lot, and have run two marathons so far. I'm training for my third, with the intent of achieving a time that comes with bragging rights.
I love working with kids. I'm in grad school learning to do what I love on a professional basis.

Friends? Family? Future?
I'm in the process of sorting out old and new friends - only a few of my "old" friends know what has been going on with me - they've been really supportive and haven't been at all threatened by it. And most of my new friends know me as I am - coming out has been part of introductions. So those ones are easier to navigate.
I love my kids, and want to help them to grow up happy and healthy. I'm trying to be as graceful as possible about explaining all of this, but recognize that there will be lots of awkward moments where humor will be essential. Lots of talking, lots of questions.
My almost-ex has come a long way. For a long time, he blamed himself for my "condition" and thought it was a reaction to his inadequate bedroom performance. He still doesn't completely understand, but has stopped trying to convince me to "come back".
My girlfriend and I talked for a while about making a life together, raising our kids together, etc., but she's just too married - so, I'm picking up my poor, trampled heart and moving on. Luckily, she's still my best friend, so I haven't lost her completely.
Going through this alone, more or less, is kind of scary. But that's where you, dear reader, come in.

Let's support each other!
If you're in similar circumstances (single lesbian, once-married mom) send me a note via e-mail. I'd love to share stories and mutual support. If there are more than one of you out there, maybe we could all hook up to chat online.
