I deeply love the Presbyterian Church. Her husband, who worked for a music publisher, started his own company here and became music director for Redwoods Presbyterian Church in Larkspur. It seemed like a great way for both of us to pursue what we really wanted to do. After graduation she worked for 18 months at the Tamalpais retirement facility in Greenbrae as service director and chaplain, then became a solo pastor at Myrtle Point, Ore., for two years, before moving to Rancho Palos Verdes for the next for years. She left that church in August.
Denial is a wonderful thing.
But ultimately she needed to face the truth, she says. A year and a half ago, I came out to my husband and kids. The whole family has beer struggling with the issue ever since. After reading many books and having long conversations, Allan and I found we loved each other enough to give our lives back to each other. They are now getting a divorce although they remain friends.
