Welcome - Your Are Not Alone

Life can take unexpected turns. This site was created as a source of support for those of us who have faced a surprising revelation: discovering that our partner is gay – or someone different from who we originally believed them to be.

Finding one’s true sexual orientation is a meaningful and beautiful part of being human. But when that truth emerges suddenly, it can be confusing and painful for the partner – especially if it has been kept a secret for a long time.

There Is No One Right Answer

How do we do that?
With each other’s support.

This journey also touches our children. That’s why it’s so important to find a way through the crisis – not just for ourselves, but for them too.

Rohkaisevin ja lämpimin terveisin Lilja Kaariniemi

Ole rauhassa hämmentynyt, ajan kanssa alat oppia uutta.
Ole rauhassa rikki, sinä alat vähitellen siitä eheytyä. 
Ole rauhassa turhautunut, alat pian tehdä parempia valintoja.
Ole rauhassa surullinen, sillä jos olemme tarpeeksi urheita,
alamme kuulla sydämemme äänen sen surun lävitse.
Ole juuri niin kuin haluat olla. Sinun ei tarvitse kätkeytyä millään lailla.
Olet arvokas. Aina.

I was a baby bird
snug in my nest
high up in the tree.

He brought me lies to eat
and I swallowed them whole.

Sometimes they tasted bad
or smelled fishy,
but they were all I knew
so I closed my eyes and swallowed.

One day the lie was so huge and monstrous
I knew that swallowing it 
would kill my soul.
 

In shock and desperation
I flew the nest.

It was long way down.

But just before I hit the ground
I learned to fly.
