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

Rating: 5 stars  

SSN was a life-line when there appeared no other support (or information) around to assist me in coping, acknowledging and accepting the emotional and family turmoil, when I discovered that my spouse of 9 years was leading a closeted life, and actively (and secretly) pursuing same sex relationships. My children and I were so greatly assisted by the information, support and companionship of others who had similar experiences. SSN made me comfortable with accepting what had happened and able to move forward with greater strength.

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

both my personal life and the lives of my two children. It is a challenging journey, but do-able due to SSN. This is not a do-it-yourself situation!

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

increase its efforts to be more visible thereby reaching many other affected people. It would be great to have SSN provide training and outreach to Social workers and psychologist about the unique issues facing str8 spouses.

Ways to make it better...

I had known about this organization earlier!

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

the lack of money to make itself more boldly visible. SSN does a good job through word of mouth, various media interviews, etc. But it should have pamphlets in every physician and counselor's offices

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
