So, how is your summer social life going?

Hello - so, as I've talked about before, coming out and developing a social life can be a difficult process. I know that I've always been a bit of a risk taker and it is easier for me than many, but I don't always enjoy it.

Do you have children? Does that make it even more difficult? Yes!! My last child was 18 before I made serious moves to a relationship, because it was a time issue for me and I did not want to bring people in and out of my children's lives while they were younger. I'm not saying this is the right answer - I'm just saying that it was the way for me. My partner has younger children, however, but they have adjusted well to me, but still have some anger toward mom. But as they see we are happy and I'm not trying to interfere, they build trust. You have to let them find their own way and that takes "PATIENCE."

Feel free to comment for others' benefit - we can all learn from each other.
Best to all.
