With the strength and support of my wife and my daughters, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I am <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is something that has caused many heart-breaking conversations at home. I have been married to Steph for nearly 27 years, and we have two beautiful grown-up daughters, Molly and Ruby&hellip;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&ldquo;My family have held me so close: they have tried to cheer me up, to smother me with kindness and love, despite their own confusion. Yet still I can&rsquo;t sleep and there have been some very dark moments.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My inner conflict contrasts with an outside world that has changed so very much for the better. Today, quite rightly, being <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> is a reason to celebrate and be proud. Yes, I am feeling pain and confusion, but that comes only from the hurt that I am causing to my family.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Steph has been incredible &ndash; I love her so very much. She is the kindest soul I have ever met. My <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">girls<\/a> have been astonishing in their love, hugs and encouraging words of comfort. Both mine and Steph&rsquo;s entire families have stunned me with their love, instant acceptance and support.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&ldquo;Of course they are worried about Steph but I know they will scoop us both us.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My friends are the best, especially Holly [Willoughby], who has been so kind and wise &ndash; and who has hugged me as I sobbed on her shoulder. At ITV, I couldn&rsquo;t hope to work with more wonderful, supportive teams&hellip;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Every day on This Morning, I sit in awe of those we meet who have been brave and open in confronting their truth &ndash; so now it&rsquo;s my turn to share mine. This will probably all come as something and I understand, but only by facing this, by being honest, can I hope to find peace in my mind and a way forward. Please be kind, especially to my family.
