Right now...I just feel like reaffirming who I am to myself. I feel really peaceful with the changes going on in my life, even if others see them as a negative. All I really want to do is to show them that being ME makes me happier. Which in turn will make the people around me happier. The...

Then I'm going to shred the letter she sent me...I don't want to see it again.

Did this ever get produced?

Okay, I will be writing a letter to myself. I will write down all the ways in which she is wrong about me, and what I believe to be actually true about myself. Thank you for your support everyone. The next big thing will be telling my husband that I am polyamorous. It'll have to be soon too...

Im so sorry that you had to go through that. And Mags is right, our children will never be clones of us. Religion seems so wrong in a lot of ways.

You ladies are right. I won't be able to put her mind at rest. And I guess writing a letter back would be JADEing. But I feel a need to stand up for myself I guess. She has judged almost every part of my character. She acts like I'm just like her, and I'm not.

They have been very understanding and are currently giving me space. Now trying to decide whether to reply to the letter my mom wrote to me. I don't want to JADE but at the same time, I feel so sad for her that she views me in the way she does. I want to put her mind at rest. So maybe that is my...

Sorry I only just saw this! I understand and thank you :)

I have just left the church, and I guess it depends on the church. I've just had messages of concern as to why I haven't been there recently. If they feel the need to pray for my soul then that's their choice. I will happily still see the people and visit the church building in the week (they...

Have you seen the Sing! app by Smule? It's literally my obsession as I don't get to go to karaoke these days. It's like karaoke without having to leave your house.

Hope you feel better soon!

It sounds like you're better off without I'm afraid. None of that speaks of any kind of respect whatsoever. It doesn't seem like a poly-thing, it seems like a some-people-are-shitty thing. I'm sorry you're going through a hard time.

I do wonder how many people are actually poly but don't really realise that it's okay, or that it even has a 'label'. I mean, I spent my life thinking that I was just a bad person for not being able to love one person at a time. But yes...I hope people don't start using it as an excuse to get...

I came across this post on Facebook just now, and thought it might be helpful for people here. It was on Facebook... https://facebook.com/GilbertLiz/photos/a.356148997800555.79726.227291194019670/806648316083952/?type=1&source=48&refid=17&_ft_&__tn__=E...

I'm very involved in church and as my family will still be going (my husband and young children) then questions will be asked. I'm part of the worship team and there was talk of me becoming a leader in that area (I just adore singing, it's my passion) and I do children's work because I have...

I like to think so...if I wasn't improving then I wouldn't have left the church! I stil need to email the leaders to tell them I'm not coming back though...

Welcome Simi, and well done for accepting who you are and taking steps to realize that reality. You are so blessed to have a husband who is so understanding. I hope it all goes really well for you

I'm so sorry for your pain and I can relate right now. My mom is reacting negatively towards me leaving the church and is so desperately upset and not sleeping etc. I dread to think how she'll be when I'm out of the poly closet. I'm very close to my mom too, she is a big part of my support...

The JADE list is really helpful, thank you! I will learn that one. The chart is also helpful, I think I jumped straight to a 5 instead of a 4 though. I think there is more out there than we know, and many people are touching on many ideas. But we'll never know, until this life ends. And we...

I will try and hold that quote in my head as much as possible. I don't want to have theological debates, or try to be convinced. I just want to be left alone to be happy!! Unfortunately 'people-pleasing' is one of my weaknesses. Working on it!
