I met with someone down the hall today and discovered that she went through divorce after 29 years of marriage to an emotionally abusive husband. For her healing process she journaled in the form of poems. Though her goal was her own healing and not publication her poems got published in 2008, with the help from … Continue reading “Ruby Slippers”

Yea, that’s not God…
“God wants me to be happy! God gave us this [illicit] love for each other, therefore we’re meant to be!” “I met x because God wanted me to meet him/her.” “God sent me (affair partner’s name).” I’ll keep this short and sweet: If God is telling you to be with someone else’s spouse, that’s not … Continue reading “Yea, that’s not God…”
Mailbag follow up
5/4/15 post continued. See original comment here. Redeemed, I’ll be blunt. It doesn’t sound like you’ve actually repented and truly owned your choices and actions. Know how I know? I’ve cheated (and it’s not worth it). I had a kid out of wedlock and was a single mom. I’ve had my fair share of big mistakes … Continue reading “Mailbag follow up”
You will not drown
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me. -Psalm 142:3 (NIV) 1 But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned … Continue reading “You will not drown”
Be a Seed
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.” Genesis 50:20 (NLT) Infidelity survivors have a lot to fight and it can certainly feel like the cards are stacked against you, that you’re being buried alive or … Continue reading “Be a Seed”

Unrequited Love
“And then there’s another kind of love. The cruelest kind. One that almost kills it’s victims. It’s called “unrequited love.” I had never heard of the term “unrequited love” until I first saw The Holiday when it was released in 2006. I was watching tonight and the intro caught my attention in a new … Continue reading “Unrequited Love”

If it’s working, it should load the page in whatever language is the preferred language for your browser (if it’s not English or Spanish it … Continue reading “From the Mrs: Bear with me”
Self Deception
“At the core we lie to ourselves because we don’t have enough psychological strength to admit the truth and deal with the consequences that will follow. That said, understanding our self deception is the most effective way to live a fulfilling life. For when we admit who we really are, we have the opportunity to … Continue reading “Self Deception”
You know Why
I know this is a little bit different than our usual programming, but this particular scene from What Happens in Vegas with Tipper and Mason went through my head today as I was reading other’s infidelity stories. Not gonna lie, this scene makes me smirk and chuckle every time. Now, I’m by no means advocating … Continue reading “You know Why”
