The Affair…with Anna Williamson

When John was growing up, he knew that he was attracted to men, but he'd grown up around homophobia and suppressed his feelings, eventually marrying his childhood girlfriend.

Years later, John told his wife that he wanted to explore his sexuality, something she agreed to. But things got complicated when he met a man on a gay dating app.... a man who was also married to a woman.

When Zoe was born, she was welcomed into the world by her mother and father and her two half siblings from her mothers previous relationship.

But one day, her father and sixteen-year-old half sister left the family home and spent years estranged from Zoe and her mother.

It wasn't until she was a teenager herself, that Zoe discovered the real reason that they left... Her father had started an 'affair' with her sister. And now as an adult, Zoe is full of questions and uncomfortable feelings surrounding her father and is here to talk to Anna to unpack her story in an attempt to understand her family history.
