I am not shocked yet. This board is frequently filled with evil that has been done to those who post-even evil that they feel they have participated in. There is nothing you can say here that will run you off these boards. If some are offended or angry, they will be the minority. You know we care about each other and accept a lot-because we all need that same acceptance. Just humans, living our human lives, fighting the human demons. . .you are loved, no matter what.

Dave, my heart goes out to you and Amanda. I too fought with this all my life, mostly I just partitioned it off into a tiny back part of my brain and NEVER ever thought about it. I remember wondering if I was gay or bisexual or what I was and looking ahead and wondering how scary life would become. I lived in a very conservative area where I could be fired for being a lesbian, and that didn't help the nerves either. I can tell you that I was shocked at who my real friends were. People I didn't expect to see me through what was an excrutiating growth period of my life were there for me throughout. People I thought would do anything for me turned their backs. Like you I faced this after my departure from the JWs and also during a marriage.
One of my best friends growing up got out of the dubs (he was a gilead missionary and annointed) his wife and he went through much of what you and Amanda are experiencing. He is now with a male partner, they have been together about 7 or 8 years if not longer, and he and his partner and his wife and her husband are absolute best of friends. They truly love each other.
I don't know where your journey will take you, but without the heavy burden it does get better, and easier and much happier.
Bless you both.
Sherry
