East Coast Radio - Catch Up Stacey & J Sbu

"I had to tell my family who I am or it will affect you in the long run" - Aaron, listener

Loading player...
Listener Aaron shares his own story, which is very similar to this week's edition of #TheFixer, with the hope of inspiring others to live their truth.

Shaun* (*name changed to protect listener's identity) is a young man in his early 20's and he is experiencing a great inner struggle. He has written to Stacey and J Sbu with the hope of finding some much-needed advice.

Shaun is finding it hard to hide a certain part of his life from his mother. The two of them are extremely close but she is also conservative and religious. He is very aware of her thoughts on homosexuality and he's scared to open up to her.
