In the fall of 2019, Brad and I were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. Shortly after, Brad began a five-month emotional affair with his stepsister. When I discovered what he was doing, I was ruined. I died inside. I never was going to recover from this. I moved out because I needed time to get better and heal. The morning after I left, Brad sent a link from Affair Recovery. Later that night, we watched our first video together. We realized there were reasons for our pain and other people experienced it too. We heard words such as “triggers” and “flooding” for the first time, and I knew what was happening to me was a real thing. As we neared the end of the First Steps Bootcamp, we talked about EMS Online. We didn’t know whether we should do it or could afford it. We are both self-employed and were affected by COVID-19 financially. Thankfully, we applied for a scholarship and were accepted. As we watched more videos, we started to mend in a healthy way. At first, EMSO was overwhelming. It was also very intense and in-depth. We were comfortable with our team leader and our group. I have learned so much from this course. I would highly recommend couples seek help from Affair Recovery and all the courses it has to offer. Every day, there was a light at the end of the tunnel and that light is still getting brighter for us. We could not have recovered without Affair Recovery and EMSO.
