Candid, compassionate, authoritative--a rich source of insights, information, and practical guidance. ""The first major work on the topic."" --Gay Community News ""A much needed comprehensive study of what happens to husbands, wives, and children during the coming-out crisis. --The Reverend Jane E. Vennard, founder Task Force for Spouses of Gays and Lesbians ""The new enlarged edition adds important factors, especially children's reactions to a parent's coming out. Well-researched and insightful."" --Fritz Klein, M.D., author of The Bisexual Option ""Anybody practicing in this area would be well advised to read this book."" --Professor Arthur S. Leonard, New York Law School In two million marriages, one spouse is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Having a spouse or parent disclose his or her same-sex attraction is a shattering experience fraught with pain, confusion, anger, and a profound loss of self-esteem. Amity Pierce Buxton spotlights this exploding phenomenon and reports constructive coping strategies that spouses and children have used to resolve problems of sexual damage, family breakdown, deception, and homophobia. Illustrated throughout by riveting personal narratives, this expanded edition of The Other Side of the Closet traces the family's journey from initial trauma to eventual transformation. This invaluable source of information for spouses, families, and professionals is based on Dr. Buxton's eight years of research, including interviews with 1,000 straight spouses and children, her own personal experience, and her counseling work with spouses of gay, lesbian, and bisexual partners.Binding Type: Paperback

Keeps me cooler than before!!
Color: Light Gray, Size: Full / Queen (90"x90")
I have been going back and forth about buying the Rest comforter but it is so expensive and then I stumbled across this. I am very pleased, it is light and one side usually stays cool to the touch. It does warm up with body heat but usually I let it sit in front of the fan for few minutes and it’s cold again. It was made a huge difference and it good quality for what you pay.

A true cooling blanket
Color: Light Gray, Size: Full / Queen (90"x90")
Hot sleeper paradise! It’s so silky, lightweight and extremely comfortable. I definitely recommend this for anyone who is usually is a hot sleeper or going through menopause (the night sweats are the worse)

Silky comfort
Color: Light Gray, Size: Full / Queen (90"x90")
I love this comforter. I’ve been using a blanket I ordered on another site for the last year that I loved but needed a new one because my son got bubble gum on it. I ordered this one after searching for a a couple of days. I was initially disappointed because it didn’t feel like it had the same cooling factor as my prior blanket. However, after sleeping with this blanket for the past 2 nights, I can say I’m in love. It’s still “cool”, just in a different way. I’m so excited to go lay down. Lol. It feels like a silk sandwich with light, soft comforter material on the inside. Silky and cool. Definitely recommend.

Excellent purchase
I love everything about it. The color, the soft cool texture and it drapes nicely over the sides of my mattress. It’s very beautiful. Perfect for the warmer season. I washed and dried it when I received it and it came out well. I love sleeping with it and so do my cats. A very excellent buy for little money
