My name is Robert if you hadn't already figured that out. I was born in Auckland New Zealand. I was adopted after spending more than two years in the care of the welfare deparment into a family of 3 children with 2 to follow later. The first 3 had been adopted prior to my arrival even tho 1 was 7 months younger than myself.
Our father died when I was 7 and mum remarried just over a year later. Life in our household was always troublesom, us kids played up and got punished like some of the other kids but we believed more so. Each Sunday no matter where we were as a family we went to church and were bought up as good pentecostal children. Upon being told to submit or move I moved out of house the next day. Freedom at last. I knew I was different but didn't have a name for it, I just knew that I enjoyed having sexual relations with men. which I had been doing for some years, but had never told anyone. I need to say here that I am hearing impaired and need the help of hearing aids to hear what most of you take for granted.
I AM NOT DEAF AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT
My first boyfriend, Laurie took me to Australia and left me to fend for myself, within weeks I had met Stephen whom I was to live with for 16 years. I travelled back to Auckland to see my family from time to time and made the most of my holidays.
I left Stephen in 1999 to find out who I was and remove myself from a situation that was almost impossible to get away from if living in Sydney.
I had a short term relationship with a younger guy who ended it soon after it begun. And another that lasted a bit longer , and he even moved in with me. But now back to being single again I have since moved back to Sydney to live. I found that life in Auckland was to slow and the weather was getting me down. Maybe its just me I don't know. It is when you leave that you realise that you do have friends, good friends. Once thing that I am happy to say is. I have made some very very good close friends over the years. So I can't be a horrible person after all.
My move back to Sydney came because I kept saying things like Auckland is horrible and I wish I was back in the Sydney. Christi kept telling if I didn't like it I should just move back. So one day he arrived home and asked how my day was. My reply was that I was moving back to Sydney. I think as soon as I said it, it hit home that I would be leaving my friends behind. I cried everytime I thought about it. But I have since moved and think that it was the right move. I do miss my friends greatly but then I always know that they are there for me.
