Review for Straight Spouse Network Inc, Chicago, IL, USA
The Straight Spouse Network (SSN) provides much-needed support for straight spouses in mixed-orientation marriages. I am married to a gay man who is in deep denial and may never come to terms with his orientation. In coming to my own awareness of this I conducted a great deal of research on the topic. What I found is that there is a vast amount of information and support for the LGBT spouse as they come to terms with and go public with their orientation. Unfortunately, there is little information out there for the straight spouses so severely traumatized by the reality of these marriages...and divorces. SSN has been a tremendously therapeutic and supportive environment for me. All of the members respect the feelings and choices made by each person as they cope with this very difficult situation. No rating would be high enough for the service this group provides.
