 +I didn't realize until then how important it was to be accepted by my parents. I'm a grown woman, fully independent of my mom and dad -- but I still needed their love and acceptance.

 +That began to subside when I met other women in various stages of the coming out process, all on the same path. Hearing the experience of others felt like hearing my own: married to wonderful men, mothers of amazing kids, the perfect life practically every woman strives for.

 +<div half column>
 +当我遇到处于出柜过程不同阶段的其他妇女时,这种情况开始消退,她们都走在同一条路上。听到别人的经历就像听到我自己的经历一样:嫁给了优秀的男人,是了不起的孩子的母亲,几乎是每个女人都在努力追求的完美生活。

 +Through this group, led by a therapist, we quickly determined we are in this together. We were on a path that feels impossible to navigate until one day, you can live your truth and be perfectly fine shaping a new life.

 +That's what I'm striving to do now: shape a new life that includes my now ex-husband and my kids. Our family structure just looks a little different than it used to.

 +On New Year's Day this year, I came out on social media. I expected to see my friend list tick down but instead I was met by love and support. So many people choose to keep their private lives private, which I absolutely understand and respect.

 +今年元旦,我在社交媒体上出柜。我本以为会看到我的好友名单会越来越短,但我却得到了爱和支持。所以很多人选择保留自己的私生活,我绝对理解和尊重。

 +But what so many don't realize is that sharing your tough moments can make other people's tough moments a little easier.

 +I don't think I would have been able to accept who I am as quickly as I did without the changes in American society in recent years. When I was growing up in the 1980s, someone's sexuality was only spoken about in hushed voices, as if the person had a disease they didn't want others to know about.
 +</div>
 +
 +<div half column>
 +如果没有近年来美国社会的变化,我想我不会像现在这样迅速地接受自己的身份。当我在上世纪80年代成长的时候,有人的性行为只会被人悄悄地说起,就好像这个人得了一种不想让别人知道的病一样。

 +Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg -- who, like me, is in his late 30s and, like me, came out publicly just a few years ago -- put it this way: "It's hard to face the truth that there were times in my life when, if you had shown me exactly what it was inside me that made me gay, I would have cut it out with a knife. If you had offered me a pill to make me straight, I would've swallowed it before you had time to give me a sip of water."

 +<div half column>
 +民主党总统候选人皮特·布提吉格——他和我一样,已经30多岁,和我一样,几年前才公开出柜——他这样说:“很难面对这样的事实,在我的生活中,有几次,如果你让我知道我的内心到底是什么让我成为同性恋,我会用刀子把它切出来。如果你给我一颗让我变直的药丸,我就会在你给我一口水之前把它吞下去。”
 +</div>
 +</div>

 +<div group>
 +<div half column>
 +There is so much truth in his statement. There was such a big part of me that did not want to be gay. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a gay person over the age of 30 who hasn't felt this way.
 +</div>
 +
 +<div half column>
 +他的说法有很多道理。我内心有很大一部分不想成为同性恋。我想你很难找到一个30岁以上的同性恋者没有这种感觉。

 +On the flip side, it is getting better for younger generations. When I told my kids last year that if mom remarries, it will be to a woman -- it didn't faze them in the least.
 +</div>

 +<div half column>
 +从另一个角度看,年轻一代的情况正在好转。当我去年告诉我的孩子们,如果妈妈再婚,一定要找一个女人时,他们丝毫不为所动。

 +<div half column>
 +Throughout all of this, I would have loved to have known that I was going to come out on the other side and be OK. And I want people reading my story to know that it's OK to be the person you're meant to be -- no matter what your age is when you finally get to know yourself and love who you are in the process.

 +<div half column>
 +在所有这一切中,我很想知道,我将走出另一边,并且没事。我想让读我故事的人知道,当你最终认识自己并在这个过程中爱上自己的时候,无论你的年龄是多少,都可以成为你注定要成为的那个人。
