Veranadine, Thank you for your reply

You are probably right about being patient about the whole thing, and thank you for confirming what I know/feel to be true:

I seem to be a trendsetter for this attitude among the people I interact with most. I find it is taking a lot of courage to do what I know is right for me.
I do know a couple of people who do encourage me a lot, but there are days and weeks I just keep away from contacting them for fear of more turbulence

I see now, that is not helping me any, cause the upheaval is going to come anyway. I am not getting off this path and going back to doing the things I think people are expecting me to do.
You know, I feel like I imagine it would to come out of the closet. Turn people's expectations of me upside down and pick my own path. In spite of what others think.
I just wish my husband would be one of the ones cheering me on. There is hope form him, in a way, because he has learned to pay compliments to me when I take trouble to look and dress attractively. He is not a static entity, and he is trying.
Sorry about the rambling -- It seems to have helped me see some positive things though, so thank you for your time and attention
