Review for Straight Spouse Network Inc, Chicago, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

After 4 years of dating, a 1.5 year engagement, and 7.5 years of marriage, my husband told me he was gay. When he came out of the closet, I went into the closet. I couldn't talk to anyone, my life was crumbling, and I felt totally helpless and hopeless. I considered suicide. But then I found SSN through surfing the web. Thank goodness! It was a revelation to know that I was not the only one who was going through this same situation. How comforting to hear about the similarities many of us had experienced. I began the slow process of healing and letting my hurt out in the right way. God Bless this organization!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the MANY people it has helped to move on and put their lives back together.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the totally accepting feeling of SSN. At my first meeting, I was told that I did not have to speak if I did not want to. They were hear to talk and listen, whatever I needed.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

tremondously kind.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

reach out to so many more people in need.

Ways to make it better...

I would have known about SSN sooner.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

funding.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2007

Role:  Client Served & I have helped told another wife whose husband came out about SSN.
