Review for Straight Spouse Network Inc, Chicago, IL, USA
I was married to my soul mate, my best friend for 24 yrs. We seemed to have it all - until he realized he was gay. My world shattered and I felt so alone, depressed, my self esteem gone - and I thought I was the only one in this situation. I lost the life I knew, the dreams for the future we shared, and the reality I could lose the person who was my rock. It took me over a year to contact SSN though encouragement from my ex.... and its what saved me. This wonderful group of people became my familee - they understood, listened while I cried, encouraged me, accepted my contingave me hope. It was through the support of SSN that I began to live again - to laugh. My ex - and still my best friend - saw the difference in me and credits them for giving me what he couldn't. In fact, he has also told other gay spouses about SSN in hopes that others would find healing as well.
