Hi Marie,

Yes, I even met with my parish pastor to discuss everything, so that he could make a proper assessment of my background and directly address any spiritual or pastoral concerns he might have had. I certainly did not wish to introduce any issues there for him or anyone else.

Work and church were the last frontiers for me, as for as coming out were concerned. Once I faced up to each one and was clearly prepared to accept the consequences of my actions, I discovered that my worst fears never materialized and I was truly humbled by the support I received. It was all a huge weight off my shoulders.
