Reply to comment by Claudia-Delgado-LCSW in I’m Online Therapist, Claudia Delgado, LCSW. I work with Women that are having an Affair - Emotional or Physical. AMA. by Claudia-Delgado-LCSW

I think we don’t get enough support. We are treated like pariahs.

It is true that there is very little support for both the person that had the affair and the affair partner. I too am not seen as favorable due to fact that these are the people I serve. This is evident by all the downvotes I keep getting. Bottom line is that everyone deserves support and help. Everyone hurts. And even though some will not be understanding of my work, I am here to help those that need it. Please know there is help available for this group of people.

Thanks. Until I was in this situation I would not have known how crazy it was. There is lots of support of the couple but very little for the APs. It’s like people forget we are people too and immediately want to dismiss any of our experiences/feelings. I am training to become a therapist and am now interested in providing support for the “other woman”/“other man”.
