White Horse is a service dedicated to women. You will quickly see that its point of reference is heterosexual marriages between women and men. That is because, for better and for worse, divorce is an area where the spousal experience remains fairly gendered.
Through my experience helping others (which includes talking to women and men), and in the many research studies and surveys done on divorce, women simply do not experience this major life change the same way that men do. Clearly, this is a generalization and all disclaimers apply, but every service must identify its audience—and my experience tells me I can reach the greatest number of people effectively by focusing this platform on women divorcing men.
That said, I want to help as many women as I can. I do not care if you were born a woman. I do not care if you are married to another woman or someone non-gendered. If I can help you, I will.
The caveat is that my personal experience is limited to the primary audience at which White Horse is aimed. I never tire of this work because it never gets repetitive or (worse) impersonal. I welcome the idea of working with women from as many different backgrounds and as many different marital situations as I can. The amazing women I expect to join our team officially next year feel the same. I want you to know that your unique situation may be new to me specifically with regard to gender and sexuality, but all couples are unique, and all divorces are as well.
White Horse should be a safe and instructive space for women everywhere. Please let me know how I can help you, and where you think I am falling short. I promise to give you nothing but my very best, always.
