K and I told the 3 boys. My oldest and the youngest sons seemed to be fine. My middle son was quite upset. K thinks he is worried if I am gay, he might be gay too. We decided to hold off on talking to my daughter. We were not sure how to tell her in terms she would understand. We also were not sure we needed to tell her anything. There was also the fact that we were both too tired to talk to anyone else.
I do not feel the sense of relief I was hoping for.
I'm going to bed.

Congratulations. Maybe you'll feel more relieved after a good night sleep. Or after the kids have a chance to process the information. Good luck!
I'd guess that both you and the boys need a little time to digest the news. The sense of relief you were hoping for will certainly come (you're they're father! they love you!) but it may happen when you least expect it, like when one of them makes a very casual comment to you.
T was right about your middle son. And K is probably right about why he is upset. Again, you're his father, he loves you, in time everything will be normal again.
Your bravery is inspirational to closeted dads everywhere!
I have been following your blog religiously and I am proud that you have finally done it.As you move to the next milestone in your life,I wish you all the best of luck.They say the truth sets you free,as a young person who might not understand your journey,you have given me courage and strength to be the best I can be and comfortable in my own skin.
Congratulations! A big step and I'm sure it will be fine once the news sinks in.
Stay close to your kids. As long as they know you continue to love them things will be ok. Hopefully within a week middle son will be feeling better.
CONGRATULATIONS, It just gets better, the more honest I am with my kids, the more I find they accept and understand me & our relationship keeps growing closer since I came out to them
