Tierney,

   I understand your position, in many ways it mirrors my own, your 
commitment to family is complete, and the cost of living the life that
would make you happy, has too high a price tag. Nonetheless, a person
can't hide from their nature. If you swallow your need long enough it
is apt to come back up as an ulcer? heart desease? a brain tumor?
   So, it's important that you speak your heart, share your feelings,
seek the counsel of people who care, and possibly professionals. You
should also never underestimate how much the people you love, love 
you in return... they might be more understanding than you suspect.
   Last, keeping such dire secret from your loved ones, does them no
favor... sooner or later you will notice how walls built hurt your
ability to be close to those you love.

Kelly,

   Right on girl, I hope you find your slice-o-heaven, I pray that
you have your cake and eat it too (and a dollop of Hagen Daz for 
good measure). Your in for for stormy weather, but it's gotta be 
better coming home to yourself, than spending the rest of this 
precious life skirting your true nature. So damn the torpedoes and
full speed ahead...

Love Y'all,  Marie
