I feel devastated. How do I cope?
It is completely normal to feel devastated, disoriented, angry, depressed, confused and lost. It is acceptable to feel whatever you are feeling at each moment of this process. And feelings will change as the situation evolves. Focus on your daily needs, what is in front of you, the decisions you need to make right now. Let the long term, bigger decisions wait until you feel ready to make them. And in the meantime, consider seeking professional counseling or medical assistance. Remember that this is a journey. It is going to take some time to process the new information about your partner’s LGBT+ status, and even more time to navigate what that will mean for your relationship and your family. You will find a new normal, but it will take time, so be patient.
