Did you say, "Ditto!"? It hurts when people put you down for your lifestyle choices, especially when they're just the type of person you thought would understand. Every now and then I get twinges of guilt. But if I stand back and look at it objectively, it's easy to see that it's just some of my old "programming" coming back to haunt me. It usually happens around family when they start badmouthing people with "loose morals". But I know it would hurt me worse to try to make myself agree with them again. I used to, you know. I was as vanilla as they come. I guess I finally got fed up with others telling me what I was supposed to believe and - like a flash out of the blue - realized that it was ME who was supposed to decided that. And that, not only is it my right to decide what I should or should not believe, it is my responsibility.
No, my family still doesn't know. And if I have anything to say about it, they never will. Telling them would not improve anything at all, and would merely dissolve family ties for no good reason...seeing as how it's none of their business anyway.
