    Re: Finding my new purpose....

    Thank you all for your words.  I am on this site daily to help get thru. It's truly appreciated!  I've seen folks mention a blog article by Joe Kort. Does anybody know the title of it?  I'd like to read it and explore more. Thank you!

    Loyalty.....stopped me. Stops me. But it's a loyalty that's not so much felt for my partner but as a protection of/for  myself, and the fact I don't want to have this exposed yet to strangers and people who will judge me.

    I need to be stronger. I may never be but when...if....the times comes, I'll know it
