I am struggling right now with idea of who I want to be in a relationship. Iโ€™ve always dreamed of being with a man, thatโ€™s what I was raised to be believe and have had actual dreams of such. But as I began to come into my sexuality more, being bi which Iโ€™ve known since I was 7 and scared to come out. I really wrestle with the idea of falling in love with a women. Iโ€™ve had two girlfriends one in high school and one college , neither were fruitful or long term. Iโ€™m scared and have no idea how to even navigate that territory, Iโ€™ve never approached a women I donโ€™t even know how and Iโ€™ve got three kids which is stressful. I havenโ€™t told them about my sexuality even though I know they wonโ€™t have a problem with it I"m still scared. Iโ€™ve been raised with the belief that children need a man/father in their lives and if I end up with a women Iโ€™ll be robbing them of that. Although their father isnโ€™t in their lives already as much as they hurt because of it. Iโ€™m so emotional, I donโ€™t know what to do or say or if I should do anything, but its killing me inside I feel so trapped.

Your children donโ€™t need a father. They need a parentโ€ฆ or parents.

That is a very good point, I definitely didnโ€™t see that perspective. Thank you for your input.
