Well before I went to one of the centers, I ended up going to Starbucks to use wifi. I was there for about two hours when I was approached by an older woman. She asked me what my favorite drink was and I told her, she left abruptly and about 5 minutes later she came back with an iced coffee and gave it to me, she asked if she could sit with me I didn't mind. Meanwhile, 2 hours had passed and we talked the whole two hours and I told her about my situation. Long story short she is now someone I call a friend, she helped me get back home and we've became even closer since that day. I've met her husband and her two children (18 and 13yo boys) and we're all close. In fact next weekend I will be heading to Chicago to stay the weekend with them.. a lot has happened since I made this post two months ago thanks to her.

I read your original post shortly after you made it, but because your question was well-answered by the time I saw it I didn't reply at the time.

I am gay and partnered with a 29yo guy who has struggled with things in the past and who still does sometimes today. Hearing stories like yours that are about finding a true friend and getting needed help make my day.
