I'm just getting to the acceptance part myself. I've spent a lot of years sweeping this under the rug, and just recently it just hit me over the head. I'm not even sure how I got here. While part of me is sad and definitely scared...it also feels kind of good to stop fighting it. I don't have a plan...not sure how I'm gonna do this...but at least now I want to do this. It feels like a good place to start.
Best of luck to you...thanks for posting this!
