Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules.

Welcome to the Playground, Lois!

I am sorry to hear of your family situation. It certainly is no rarity around here. Many of us have begun transition later in life, myself included, and we

have families too. It is a struggle in the best of circumstances, so you have kindred spirits who understand what you are going through.

I'm glad you chose us to share your journey with, and we will do all we can to support you along the way.

Oh, I'm remiss! I forgot my manners. Please take a seat in the Member's Lounge and I'll offer you a plate of Sally's cookies and some hot cocoa.

We are a moderated site, so please take a few moments to read through the Forum Rules. There is a link at the top of most pages. We do our best to keep

predators out and things at a PG-13 level.

I hope you find what you need here. I look forward to reading your posts.

Hello Lo_lo,

Welcome dear to Laura's playground. This will be your escape, your sanctuary from every day life where the the real you can come out and be accepted for what ever you are. You are completely free here no one will judge you at all. Get to know us and you will learn much about yourself through the experiences of ones simulator to you. Interact and you will find that everyone here is so polite, so caring so loving, you will know that you have found your special place with ones that you can identify with, and understand better where you are at in your life.

But beware this place is so special it might change your life, hopefully for the better.

There are many very smart ones here who will help you with almost anything. But you kind of have to take a leap a faith and let yourself go to us so that the real you inside will come out to mingle and interact.

Through time you will understand yourself better which will result in you feeling better and not alone but part of a large family that takes care or their own. You are one of us now, that will make friends and feel like one of the family.

I guarantee this will be a pivotal point in your life. And it will be all good if you use the resources at your fingertips. I sincerely hope you will get as much out of this site as most do.

If there is anything I can do for you let me know, and I will do my best, promise

Welcome to the family sweetheart, your new friend

Love and hugs, Chandra

Hi Lo Lo,

I am so glad that you have found us, I am sorry about your family situation, I also had my wife leave me but I had no children.

I hope that Selkia has left enough cookies for you.

We want you to know that we are friendly but not to the point of eating all of the cookies.

Welcome to your new family.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi and Welcome Lois

I too was divorced by the time I was 43. I am so sorry to hear that you don't see your daughters anymore. I do hope that changes for you someday.

You and I have much in common. After making 5 posts you can use the PM system here (we should chat).

So (as Lizzy says...) POST! POST! POST!!

Hugs and Welcome Dearheart.

Love

Brenda
