Decided to move forward with the new attraction

Tweet

I have been contemplating this decision for a while now and being that I cannot continue being in this "non" relationship with the older woman, I've made the decision to move forward with this younger woman who I have been trying to support. Well, I have been the one person she has been able to come to since coming out to her family. They have, for all intents and purposes, shut her off and cut her out of the daily dealings b/c they apparently are too worried about their own selfish feelings and concerns over what anyone else will think of them??!!! They view her as being dishonest and making a "choice" to be who she is just to upset them all and have others think badly of them. Can you believe that narrow mindedness and ignorance???? Needless to say, I have been the one person she has been able to come to for support, trust and general social dealings since doing this and we have become a lot closer than I had anticipated. I'm not real sure about all of this and I am still concerned that, since she's never had anyone in her life that she has cared for, nonetheless, really dated, I do not want to be the "teacher" or worse yet, something of a scare or extremely intense experience for her...I understand that she needs time and space and I am willing to give her all of that. I honestly just want her to find her own place and comfort zone to be in..I think she needs to move away from this area we are in (I am only here temporarily...going back to Connecticut soon)b/c, first of all, to get away from her family and hope that they grow sense, compassion and decency while they figure out how to deal with her...She needs to start living her own life and find some way of being accepted for who she really is and make some friends and just basically make a life for herself! I do want to be a part of that and if it means taking her with me when I move (and she does want to go with me), then so be it....Any thoughts?
