I started this blog because I couldn't find a resource that validated what I felt when I learned my husband was a sex addict. All I wanted was frank talk, no definitions, recovery speech, or minimization of what I was feeling. I hope you feel validated, heard, and understood when reading my blog posts. I try not to give advice; I share my experience with each topic to provide partners of sex addicts hope for their healing from betrayal trauma. To learn more, please read the "My Story" tab at the top of this page. If you like what you see and find this blog helpful, please share it with others; no one should feel alone on this yucky journey. I would love to hear from you. Please contact me at joy@betrayednotbroken.com. Most importantly, please remember you deserve to give yourself the time to heal well from betrayal trauma.

How is your journaling coming along? As we approach October, let’s examine our healing fears. What fears are you juggling as you heal from betrayal trauma? What fears do you have regarding your own healing journey? If your partner is still in the picture, what fears do you have for your partner? I think you will find writing about your worries may help you see them in a different light.

July Journal Prompt: What do I need to feel safe with the addict in my life?

Even if you are no longer with the recovering sex addict, it’s important to know what you need in a relationship as you move on in your life.  Please take some time to consider what you need. Perhaps write a list or write a letter to your addict. Your safety is important. Don’t judge what you need; acknowledge it, and clarify this to yourself and the addict.
