I'm so sorry... I know what some of you may be going through.
I had a female partner when I was young, and it's not that I was a very good lover with her, it's a long story, but we had a pact of the wolves (I don't know if you understand me) and that when we were older we would go to live together...
But she committed suicide, and the whirlpool that formed when her soul ship sank dragged me with it, I was barely able to get to the surface, and, although my sister did know something for a long time; now it's no secret for the family.
They won't let me take care of their dogs anymore obviously, but they respect and accept me, and that's the most important thing.
