Where do you go when the pain and heartbreak of a cheating spouse confronts you? What do you do with the feelings of self-doubt, anger, and depression? How do you cope with the alternating tears and murderous rage that envelops you? But perhaps most importantly, where is God when you’re in a pit of such despair that you can barely put one foot in front of the other to face another day?
Fourteen women come together in Splintered Untangling the Chaos of Infidelity to tell their stories of surviving adultery. As you read these heart-wrenching stories of betrayal, you will see how each brave author took steps to move in her healing. Each story is different, because there is no “one size fits all” with betrayal. Adulterous behavior comes in different forms—physical, mental, and emotional. And finally, there is no perfect ending. Every author had to walk through her individual circumstances and come to accept her unique destination, as will each person who reads this book.
We hope that through the telling of our stories, you can find the hope and encouragement you need for your journey, and through the sharing of our heartaches, we want you to know that you are not alone.
Infidelity is the one time God permits divorce. The truth still remains that He gave us freewill. Reading these real-life stories gave me new eyes to see the beautiful lives that have emerged on the other side of what kills so many marriages. Yes, with God anything is possible!
