I was married to a man for 30 years ..I did not know at first that he was gay. I tried to do what I thought was best at the time, and stay married and cover it up for the sake of the children.

Once they were grown I filed for divorce. It took four long years for him to hide the money... finally it was over. But my family, mother, father, sisters, and brothers became his new family. I cried to them and begged for understanding, but they had him over for 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas. My children and i were excluded, no explanations. I said I guessed they had lost a daughter and gained a son. No apologies. I have asked all friends etc., if i had done something wrong... they can not figure it out either. I have cried and cried over this for four years. I am sad to say for my own sanity I must x them from my life..how sad is that?

HE HAS REMARRIED AND THEY HAVE WELCOMED THEM INTO THEIR HOMES. I was always the good reliable sister that everyone turned to in time of need ...now I am nothing to them, my heart is broken, I am now an orphan.
