In these various stages of my life, I have gone through life experiences that have shaped me. I was married for twenty two years and had two children. My father passed away of lung cancer and that led me on a personal journey. That journey led to a new understanding of my sexual orientation. It also helped me see that my marriage was not healthy and so we divorced. We committed to finishing the process as parents and we were able to do that as partners. I began dating someone after the divorce. We became very close and about a year after we began dating, he began the process of transition from female to male. Today he and I are married. I identify as bisexual and I am involved in supporting others whose spouses, partners or children are in the transition process. I am also the proud mom of two grown children, one daughter and one nonbinary child. We also have 3 fur children: Dolly the Corgi Jack, Doodlebug the American Shorthair cat, and Lovebug the Japanese Bobtail cat.
