Infidelity is life-changing, life-altering trauma for ourselves, our partners, and even our kids. We can feel “left for dead” immediately following disclosure, and it would seem almost no one truly knows how to support those of us in crisis due to infidelity or addiction. What’s vital is that we are there for ourselves. While it may seem like a hollow suggestion or a cheesy Hallmark card, it is key that we are able to understand the principle of caring for ourselves, despite the temptation to wallow in self-pity for days. Without an approach of personal healing and restoration, we struggle to see which way is up, and darkness appears to be our only comforting friend. The truth is, we can heal and we can rescue ourselves from the pit of despair and hopelessness. This chapter isn’t the best, or the rest of our lives, but we have the power to make choices to not only heal, but find new life again. We can and must forge ahead, despite that what we see ahead may seem like more pain. As the old adage goes, looks can be truly deceiving, and as we rise to the challenge of rescuing ourselves from the temptation to quit and give up, everyone around us will eventually benefit from this choice.
