Have you ever felt betrayed?
Jane's husband Carl was deployed to Iraq for 18 months.
Just before he left she had a miscarriage of their first pregnancy.
As sad as that was they worked through it and felt optimistic.
But Jane felt empty and alone whenever she thought about it.
The first few months Carl was in Iraq, she felt strong.
She put her mind to her work and helped out at the church.
After a while though she began to ache with loneliness.
It grew stronger and stronger and she felt she would explode.
Jim was a good friend at work.
Carl and she knew Jim from "way back."
Jane began to tell Jim a little about how she felt.
You won't be surprised what happened next.
She sought solace and warmth with Jim.
All the time she felt horrible about it and wondered what she would tell Carl.
She loved Carl so much.
She prayed for him every day and envisioned a great life together after he got home.
Of course Carl knew nothing of what was happening with Jane and Jim.
When he finally got home everything seemed fine for a while.
It was great to get home.
But in about two weeks Carl knew. He could tell.
Jane was sneaking phone calls.
Something about her he couldn't identify seemed weird, really off.
Then he just knew and confronted her about it.
She spilled it all out one night.
Carl felt like his head would explode.
He felt every feeling imaginable, but mostly blind rage.
And yet he knew he loved Jane and wanted to be with her.
He felt ashamed, hurt, furious and confused.
He tried to pray about it but couldn't deal with it.
Every part of him hurt and felt like it was on fire.
He was completely lost and felt he would never be the same person again.
One night had an accident while driving and was almost killed.
Fortunately he wasn't.
You know there are no accidents.
He felt so confused he secretly wanted to die.
He felt there were no solutions.
Now maybe you've never been in that extreme of a situation.
Maybe you have.
But no matter who you are, you've felt betrayed.
That's why I created this.
A 21 day program for thriving after betrayals.
There is nothing else like this.
