S10 E10: [Mia] Violated

This week survivor Mia shares her story.

Mia spent years hiding her sexuality because of religious shame. Even though she was married to man out of “obedience” to church teachings, he knew she was gay and they were able to have a good friendship. Mia thought she had met a kind, beautiful woman who she could relate to on every level but it took six months to find out that this woman was not who she said she was.
