Hello Raising! You're where I was 20 years ago I believe. I too have twins. They are identical boys, 23 years old now that I adopted at birth.

It certainly wasn't easy when they were very young however, now as adults, (they'll always be my babies, no matter how old they get) it's even more of a challenge.

I'm sending positve energy in your direction.

Thanks for the welcome.

More backstory, came out late - my children were in their teens.

Very recently split with my g/f of four years. Dating someone who wants to stay in the closet, per se, isn't something I'd suggest to anyone.

Never insisted that she march in the streets donned in nothing but rainbows. In fact, quite the opposite, just wanted her to be happy. Kept myself from the local LGBT community because she works with a good bit of the "L" portion and she was afraid of anyone finding out. Her Mom retired from the same place she works. Can't have Mom finding out.

That's from my perspective, based on my own personal experience.

So, working on sorting life in general and where I fit in. Moving on, making friends and trying to get out of this emotional quicksand. It's driving me nuts.

Generally stay busy a lot with community theater and chorus. It helps some.

Think I might go clean the spare bedroom and box up winter clothes. Can't sleep, might as well.
