Ronnie have you tried to search out a support group in your area? Tri-Ess is a nationally registered group with chapters all over the country. Members of the GLBT community have support groups in many of the larger (and some smaller) cities as well.
These groups have the added advantage of talking to someone in person. Online groups such as this are great, but nothing replaces one on one contact with another human being. Communication is more than just words. Body language plays a huge part in conveying what you're trying to say and how it's interpreted. The little emoticons we use can help a little, but there's just no substitute for actually seeing someone's response. Know what I mean?
IMO, support groups are extremely useful in helping oneself to grow. (and helping our partners grow too!)
Just my two bits.
Hugs,
Kyra
