Getting the message, going slow,

So over the past few days I have heard one message loud and clear. Many of my blogger friends agree, I have to move out to move on and the sooner the better.

I'm not ready to do that just yet. I can see the day, I think it will be soon (relatively speaking) that I will be able to, but I just don't want to rush it. I have to first find a place. K & I need to figure out how the tell the kids. From their perspective, it will come out of the blue. I just think to suddenly have daddy live somewhere else one day, is not good.

It seems that many guys do not immediately come out to their kids. My kids have a 8 year span from the oldest to the youngest. The older ones might be able to understand "gay" but I doubt the younger ones will. I guess I'm getting ahead of myself.

K works most of the day Sunday's and weekday evenings in the fall. I have not seen much of her in the past 2 days, but the interactions we have had, have boon pleasant. We have not re-visited my moving out or our other issues since Friday night. I'm glad we still have other things to talk about besides all gay all the time.

Being gay is only a part of who you are.......it certainly not what you are.......you're a father, a husband (in what ever form), a son, a sibling.....will you get the idea.

In my experience kids of parents who separate and do it in a loving manner are so much better off. Yes it can be a bit confusing, but it does work.
