Someone Who Understands
My journey began in 1996 when my husband told me he was leaving our marriage to pursue a same-sex relationship. In a moment, the life I knew—and much of what I thought I understood about my faith—was shaken.
At the time, I struggled to find anyone who truly understood what I was going through. Eventually, God connected me with people who did. That became a turning point in my healing journey.
Today, my heart is to offer that same understanding and hope to others walking through the pain of same-sex betrayal.
Whether you are a wife, a husband, or a family member trying to understand and support someone you love, I want you to know—you don't have to walk this road alone.
