My Husband of 10 Years Told Me He Was Gay | Eleanor Bermingham (Part 1)

Imagine being married for 10 years, believing you have the perfect life, only for your husband to tell you he's gay.

This week on The Comeback, I'm joined by Eleanor Bermingham, who shares her incredibly honest and emotional story of having her world turned upside down.

Eleanor opens up about the shock, heartbreak and grief of losing the marriage she thought would last forever.

She's also a mum to two boys, Mikey, 19, who has profound autism and severe intellectual disabilities, and Darragh, 14, who also has autism. She speaks candidly about the challenges of motherhood, guilt and finding strength through life's toughest moments.

There's so much to unpack that we've split this conversation into two parts.
