1 month has passed since my big coming out to my Mom and Brother, the 2 last remaining family members who didn't know. So what happened? The next chapter after that cliff hanger? The next thing that happened, is the boring part of the movie that usually finds its way on the cutting room floor. Well, save for a quickly edited clip with some really sappy song to give 
it some emotional effect. Truth is, I haven't heard a peep, from Mom or Bro. Nothing. which at first was kinda nice, since I wasn't real amped to chat it up with the fam quite yet. However now, its starting to feel a bit miserable and spooky, today being Mothers day, feels extra special shitty.I will trudge on forward, only stopping to sniffle, wipe my nose, and likely touch up my eyeliner and lip gloss... I'll do my best to allow them time. My sisters have been like freaking super heroes, it's simply unbelievable. I'm still kinda blown away by them (and 
their partners). But yes slow and steady wins the race or at least gets to the end in one piece, and some semblance of sanity.

I ended my relationship that had progressed up to this last month. Endings are always so damn hard, there's no way around it. We both were sad but I think we both realized it was missing that essential spark... so we cut our losses. Again I feel like the experience was absolutely worth it, and was something I will carry with me always. And I have retained a good friend through it all.
Work and life are pretty normal. Weird huh? Sometimes I literally stop myself and laugh. I just can't believe I'm doing it! I say aloud sometimes driving alone in car.. "Bitch! you're doing it! and damn you look good!" yes I realize I'm ringing my own bell, or tooting my own horn.. how
ever the saying goes, but Its my inner woman claiming victory over it all, and its very powerful.Thanks to everyone who has sent their encouragement, especially my close friends and work mates. You're kindness and support have not gone unnoticed.

I'm glad to hear that you're continuing to forge forward.
ReplyDeleteI am striving for the same, those little triumphant moments where it's clear the inner woman is winning.

Having family not understand you or accept you is a hard pill to swallow, but you can't let that keep you down. I've had similar happen to me to the point where I had to burn my bridges.
