And yeah, it's fabulous to be with people who "get it". WOW. I've looked and waited my whole life for this. And I didn't even know that kind of understanding was missing, just knew there was SOMETHING I couldn't put my finger on...I knew it at a very early age, as I'm sure many of us did. I hope Alateen gives my kids some of that community support and understanding. I think, based on the experiences this week, that they already have a good start. Oozing gratitude here!!
I never, in a million, zillion, gazillion years, could have imagined I'd only find this support and understanding after I started being "alone", so that I could find out that I'm not lonely. Huh. Who knew???!
Hugs,
