I think there is still a lot of guilt there, and unfortunately I think her defense mechanism is to try to shift blame away from herself. I'm sad that she entirely missed the point and derailed what I was trying to say in my original post. Glad to have support from so many other amazing people though.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441044988830815964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514215561878490512.post-42411925621326361832017-11-13T22:08:11.399-05:002017-11-13T22:08:11.399-05:00Thankfully a lot of good folk had my back. :)Thankfully a lot of good folk had my back. :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441044988830815964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514215561878490512.post-77377747204293071592017-11-13T22:07:38.829-05:002017-11-13T22:07:38.829-05:00Thank you, Stacey.

Instead she made it about her, when she could have taken that moment as an opportunity to reiterate her support of you. I'm sorry that your attempt to share a personal moment in the hope of helping others prepare Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518325345447825732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514215561878490512.post-81033509384324660802017-10-13T12:44:32.645-04:002017-10-13T12:44:32.645-04:00Although entirely irrelevant, I think your post an...Although entirely irrelevant, I think your post and subsequent responses were very courageous. It absolutely IS difficult to move past the hurt that comes from coming out. No matter the age, no matter how long it has been. In the end we all want that unconditional acceptance. Hugs to you.

I'm assuming she has those tendencies to think of her own feelings before others and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. And you are a big person for trying to be so careful with your words around her--for trying to Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492898465897070415noreply@blogger.com
