Sammy,
That was beautiful. The wonderful thing about this site is it does allow us to confess our other self to someone.
This time of year I help many people with their New Year Resolutions and one of the first topics that comes up is diet. Now, I'm not a dietitian or nutritionalist but I do offer some sound advice within the scope of my practice. We all have a pretty good understanding of what is good to eat verse what's bad. And everyday, every moment we face choices - should I eat this or not, do I go out to eat or go to the gym. Each moment takes us on a path either towards our goal or away from it. Deciding to take PM or not. Telling your life partner or not. And each decision will have its own set of consequences.
I hope that sharing our experiences, joy, triumph, as well as pain will help others that read these passages. I could have been like Flame if the internet was around like today. I read Sarah and think I could and would have gone down her path if not for meeting my wife. I worked at a health club owned by a lesbian couple in a very progressive part of the country. The support would have been there.
But takinig a different path, I read Doodle and see a contempory facing similar issues as I do today. Your situation could be my future when my kids are older. CK and Patti give me hope if my wife chooses to follow the path I really wish I had the courage to follow earlier.
You are correct in that we are all actors. Big hugs to you.
