[Samantha Rogers]

Heather, my heart breaks for you. I am in a similar situation realizing that my own journey may divurge from that of my wife. I have considered backing away from what I am doing but I just cannot. I am finally becoming the person I was always meant to be and it is so hard. I may in the process lose someone very dear to me, either because she will leave me, or, concievably, I may need to leave her despite the risk of spending the rest of my life alone. It is a terrible place to be. But I cannot go back to the "settled for" emptiness of before. I wish both of us good fortune, dear friend.
Crying a little, just now...
