Re: Can we make SSN more hospitable to people on varying paths?
I will say, the best I can offer you is empathy. It's a tough thing to go through, and you need to give yourself time to adjust to the new reality.

"our men" often rely on us thinking exactly the way you do.
But if you begin putting yourself and your needs above his, knock down the walls he's built so you can see what your life will be like and program your own outcome by putting yourself first...your decisions, whatever they are, will be made with you fully cognizant and accepting of your future.
