Did this lady pray for sex from her ex? We are stepping on some toes today! Yes, she prayed for sex and then she found out he was gay. Let’s not forget that Gloria was trying to raise her teenage son, figure out what parenting could and would look like with her ex, figure out her own self-esteem, be there for her friends, and find love. We are soliciting hugs and prayers for Gloria.
She is the third woman within the friend group of Waiting to Exhale that we are discussing in this episode. We are getting into it all; the coparenting, the self-esteem, depending on children, masking feelings, and the struggle to let go. Join Jasmine and Charmaine, two licensed black mental health therapists, as we unpack Gloria and this journey. As always, we have some questions that need answers for Gloria’s character as well.
