My older sis has just recently come to accept the fact that she is gay. Actually, she called me about an hour ago to tell me. I have no problem with this at all.I just want her to be happy and I feel awful that she is really just starting her life at age 34.I want to understand what she is going thru so that she has a family member to talk to that can really understand so she doesn't have to always turn to gay friends.
Here's some background....She's 34 and has been married to her husband for 12 years. She told her husband that she wants a divorce and he is dealing with it pretty well from the way she was talking. She has already found an apartment so she's moving out on her own which will also be a first. She lives in another state and I am leaving this weekend to see her and stay for a week. If anyone has had a similar experience I would really appreciate any insight you could give.
Thanks,
April

Thanks for your input everyone,

Kudos to you for being there for your sister! It is a tough situation for everyone. YOu will both need each other to understand what is happening and be able to get through it.
As of 6 months ago I myself left a marriage of 16 years. I fell in love with my best friend and we are currently trying to build a future together. I am much like your sister. I made all my choices and changes before I let my family know what was going on. I was all alone because they live 900 miles away. It has always been the best way for me to handle things. Don't be too hard on your sister for not asking for help. She is probably very scared and confused and quite unsure how her family would react.
Just be there for her. The best thing you can do is listen, try to understand and even if you can't at least realize that she needs to be happy and that's all that matters.
I hope to see her here sometime. We can all use a friend to talk to.
