First, breathe. OurPath is here to help, and you will be OK.

The disclosure or discovery that a partner is LGBT+ is often a very confusing and highly emotional experience. For the Straight Partner or Partner of a Trans Person, it is often as if their world has been turned upside down, and the experience can be even more complex if they have children with their LGBT+ partner. There is no rule book for the Straight Partner experience, and no one path works for everyone. Getting support is a good first step. OurPath can provide peer Support Contacts and virtual support meetings, as well as other resources. In addition to the support OurPath offers, individual and/or couple’s therapy with a competent therapist is a good place to get support.
