Yes, the fear of discovery is on my mind a lot in my day to day life. One of the most challenging, disappointing aspects of living in stealth that I've dealt with is not being able to share my story with some of my closest friends. I have several friends I've met through work that I love dearly and who I know would be supportive of my journey. However, I am not able to share such a big part of my life with them because I worry that it could potentially cost me my job. I work with children and am afraid that if I was out at work one of the parents might have an issue and my boss would have to let me go. It is a depressing reality that I have to live with but I try to focus on the positives.

Hey Mermaiden!!!

I can appreciate what a difficult spot that would be to be in... Things can get very delicate with with employment in connection with children in the mix... it SHOULD NOT be like that but, sadly, IT IS a reality we must deal with....

I hope you find this forum to be a place where you can find some connections with friends that your current situation doesn't allow you at this time!

Many girls here see living stealth as a promised land where all problems fade away...I would encourage you to share some of your victories and struggles here to provide some balanced perspective on that approach! ... All decisions in life have trade offs and I know there would be many lessons to be learned from what you have experienced...

Onward we go brave sister!!!

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸

Fear is an emotion that is there to keep us safe but we must remain vigilant not to let it rule us...
