I understand everything you're feeling. I just have to tell you that your kids may surprise you. When I came out/clean/honest with my kids I was expecting the worst. It was hard for me to do but not hard for them to understand. My son was like no biggie, and my daughter said so what you're still my mom.
So the next day they seen a much happier mom and a mom that felt good inside because she was being honest with the two most important people of her life. The day I told my kids is the day that I decided no more lying ever! Not even a small white lie. The truth can hurt but lying or not telling can hurt much more later down the road.
I'm not sure how your husband will handle this? I hope he's there to support and re-enforce you.
My best wishes to you and I'm hoping this goes well for you and your kids. Gay or straight, you'll always be their momma. Peace!
Michie
