Wow!

Thank you SO much for this gift of insight! I have two daughters who are currently going through the exact same experience. I think we (betrayed and unfaithful) need to be reminded how the affairs/addictions are not just a grievance against the spouse...it is a grievance against the family unit. Holly, I am so impressed at how beautifully and graciously you were able to speak to this extremely tough subject. I know the bravery of telling your story will help my daughters and their dad heal, too. I especially liked how you advised to keep your own boundaries, just listen (and provide hugs), go out & find joy everyday, it’s ok to forgive, there will be days were you will be angry, and to share a little light and joy even in the midst of the “ugly.” You brought joy to me just hearing about the squirrels! I think you are showing that you have taken something ugly and terrible and God is going to make something beautiful out of it in your life! Many blessings to you and your family!
