Wow, I don't know what to say. I kind of wish I could give you a hug or somthing. It must have been difficult. I would have never imagined anyone having to keep a secret for so long from people who should accept you no matter what. I'm sorry. Did you have any siblings? Do you still keep in contact with your family? Do you live alone now? How old were your YF's at the time? and how long did you know them before they left? I wish I had more to say but it's nice reading about someone else.

You don't have to be sorry. I don't trust councelors or at least not anymore. (I have my faveorite classes tomorrow so it won't be so bad. There is this boy I kind of like so I think it'll be worth it.)
