Dear John, I Love Jane
This support group is for women who are questioning their sexuality after - or during - heterosexual relationships or marriages. There is so much healing in telling our stories in a safe, supportive environment. If you're grappling with issues of sexual orientation, especially if you're now - or have been in the past - in a relationship with a man, this group is for you.
