Hi Wistful Life and welcome:) I am also a supportive spouse. My partner came out to me last November after 5 years together. We also have children ( four of them aged 2,5,8, and 10). Stumbling blocks aside (goodness knows I have encountered, and continue to encounter, some.), I have done my best to embrace my partner wholeheartedly. It is a beautiful thing watching her become the woman she is meant to be. Please feel free to lean on me for support as our situations seem similar. It is always nice to talk to someone going through the same myriad of emotions the transition of a spouse brings about. This group is really open to SO as well, which is not always the case. Not to mention, as you have said, how positive most the spouses are here, which is a huge breath of fresh air. I was starting to feel like a freak for being accepting of this is some of the other places I joined. That is why I try to get on here whenever the kiddos allow:)
