((((Michelle))))

Thank you for posting and I am sorry you are feeling so lonely. The feelings of SI are not easy and I understand those feelings or anyway for us but please take care of you for you are important, and no matter what you do not deserve to hurt anymore.

I am so glad that you had a good evening with J. I think that is great and the fact that you accept those within your partner is wonderful. It is so hard at times to allow them to be out for fear of rejection and non-acceptance. I worry a lot about that with those within myself. For so long they were rejected and called other things that they were not that it caused a lot of damage that we are still working through now.

Your support to your partner and those here means so much. Thank you for that and for caring and accepting each of us here. I hope that you will continue to grow with your partner and all within her as she grows within herself. Having that support means so much and it is crucial to being able to heal and move forward.

For many of us we fight to be who we are not letting some people know. It is hard when they are there and all you want is to be yourself. I know my family and children think I am crazy and that hurts. I have hidden so much as it was not safe to be. Even now that others accept us, sometimes it is so hard not to put up a shield to protect at any given moment we may need to do so.

Thank you for your post. I hope you are feeling better and that you know we are here for you. Know that we care and are listenig. Sending gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
