50. Kath, I am so very sorry

I am sorry for your loss and the way your family is treating you. I grew up Catholic and was initially disowned for being a lesbian.
My wife and I have been together for 30 years and I can’t imagine the pain of your loss. Combine that with your parent’s behavior and it could be devastating. Your strength is amazing! Keep standing tall and know that we are with you.
