My Husband Is Having An Affair, Can You Help Me?

"I just found out my husband is having an affair. Can you help me?" I have heard this many times since I started Revolution Counseling. Each time I hear a woman's brokenness on the phone, I get sick to my stomach. Then quickly, I pull myself together and schedule her an appointment at my office. When she walks into my office for the first time, I feel many things. I feel grateful. I feel terrified. I feel honored. I feel inadequate. Then, I quickly pray for wisdom. Their stories are different. Their stories are the same. All of them are a beautiful, broken, scattered mess. And together, we pick through the mess...one piece at a time. It is interesting how life shapes itself. It wasn't so long ago, I was that broken and shattered pastor's wife who made the same call to a counselor. My life was a crazy mess. She helped me pick through the mess and walked with me, each step of the way. I am grateful and feel both humbled and honored to walk with other women on this journey. I have not advertised my counseling practice to be, "The Counselor Whose Husband Cheated Can Help You Too." Somehow and through means I could never orchestrate, one woman after another has found me and asked for my help. Maybe it is that "beauty for ashes" concept or "He never wastes a pain," idea.. Either way, I am humbled and honored. The road back to life after infidelity is not easy. It is not easy, but it is worth it. Every tear, every angry outburst, every heartfelt, tear-streaked prayer is heard. Keep going... It is likely that as you look back on your road to healing, you will find you like yourself even more than you did before. You will discover you are capable and strong. And you know what? You are capable and strong. You are beautiful. You are amazing. If you are reeling from the heartbreak of infidelity, there is hope! Get up. Fight. You are not alone.
