You are not alone in your questions. When confronting the disclosure of betrayal trauma involving same-sex attraction, women often find themselves overwhelmed with questions that feel too complex, painful, or shameful to voice. These questions are normal, valid, and part of the healing process.

This guide acknowledges the thoughts racing through your mind and validates that what you're experiencing is completely understandable. You don't have to carry these questions alone.
