[quote=Anonymous]If I were you, I'd put up a profile on OKCupid and make it only visible to other women seeking women-you can get a good sense of who else is out there, and then go out on some dates or not depending on how you are feeling. Another option might be seeing what groups and activities are available through meetup or through your local LGBTQ center. Any of those would be a pretty low stakes to explore your feelings.

Re your kids: I don't think you should hold back from living your life based on what they may or may not feel about your identity. You have time to explore before you need to have any conversations with them, and when it gets to the point that you feel you need to talk to them (say if you're dating someone), you have a lot of options in terms of what you tell them. I don't think there is anything harsh about saying: "I had feelings for girls when I was younger, but it was a different time. I loved your father and am so happy that I was able to have you kids and raise them with him. Now, I feel like I need to explore this other side of myself."

I believe that this can be a really joyful time in your life![/quote]
