Guest: Janice Mitchell
Janice and her husband were members of the US military during the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” era. That enforced secrecy, combined with being southern, Baptist, and African American, meant her husband had no safety to come out as gay. In this episode, Janice describes what it was like to live with a husband who began living a double life immediately after they married, the impact his secrecy had on her, and how she recovered her sense of self and her own value.
omg i felt like im listening to my own story, soooooo deep
Thank you for sharing your story of faith. We were also both military (active duty and reserves). When you said your faith and your children kept you alive, that also resonated with me.
