Hello Lisa,
Wow you have had quite a lot to deal with in your young life. Bless you...so many tough lessons I am sure you have accumulated to your eternal credit! I listen to your words and I see a very brave and special young mother. Your angels must be very proud of you and in fact they will never be disappointed with you. They love you more than we can possibly imagine and they understand our human frailties so they will be supportive should you choose not to speak out at this time.
I talk to my angels too, so I would never think you are crazy and as you have probably noticed none of us here truly fit the "norms" ...But you know, it doesn't bother me at all.

Yet my situation is a little different perhaps than yours... It sounds to me that if things go badly with the revealing of your ability to speak with your angel you could be in a world of hurt. I must admit this very scenerio happened to one of our dear members. So I recommend you pray on it. Go straight to the Source with this one. Meditating on this within may bring up some valuble information, as each of us has a beloved part of God that lives within us. So it is true that our bodies are the temple of God and we are so blessed to have access to the most wonderful friend and partner we could ever imagine. It would be impossible sweetie to offer you advice in this area, one way or another because only you know the openness or "closedness" of you mom and family.
Sometimes, though it is unnecessary...our words... it is our very actions, our changed and loving hearts that first indicates something strange and wonderful is occuring. Our loving actions speak volumes and support us mightily in our endeavors.
Please understand that there are many who still fear change in this spiritual arena. They are stationary in their beliefs and they like it that way, so often it can make them a little less willing to even contemplate the very idea that someone else may see an entirely different Truth because in admiting that one thing it may invalidate something they hold dear. It is a dilemma.
Each of us has our own path to walk and every step of the way we have loving help..from our angels and countless Celestials who always have our best spiritual interests at heart.
Hmmm... I don't think I am making any sense...talking in circles I am.

but please know how pleased I am to have you join this message board and I look forward to getting to know you as you share you experiences with us. Welcome Lisa!
Love,
Sandy
