Keeping Families Together

2X INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLING AUTHOR

From the outside, my marriage looked perfect.

My husband and I owned a successful business and spent all our time together. Our clients watched as we struggled through infertility and successfully got pregnant with our twin girls. To the outside world, we looked like we had it all together…

A POWER COUPLE

But, the strong, successful couple everyone saw on the outside was far from the whole story. Behind closed doors, in the privacy of our home, our relationship was infused with narcissistic abuse, alcoholism, control and manipulation.

Eventually, the emotional abuse lead to physical intimidation, and the physical intimidation danced a very scary line - the intimidation was bordering very close to actual physical violence. This is when I was forced to call the police.

OUR MARRIAGE WAS A MESS

Although this is a very condensed version of our story, the point you need to understand is that we went from emotional violence, a restraining order, and narcissistic abuse, to healing, unity, and connection.

BUT NOT BEFORE WE HIT ROCK BOTTOM - TWICE

Our first experience with rock bottom was the restraining order. My husband was forced into anger management classes, and he was on 12 months of probation. Because of the level of emotional abuse that had been present in our marriage, this was not enough for me.

My personal rock bottom came 2 years later when I was pregnant with our third child. I had been so disconnected and checked out from my marriage, and I was exhausted. The pretending, the job sex, the “fake” role I was playing as a wife, all had me ready to quit.

What happened next was nothing short of a miracle: scared of losing 50% custody of my twins and unborn baby, I decided to shine the light inward. If my husband was not going to give me what I needed to feel connected and in love, I had to take control and change my situation in order to save my family.

By making changes to my mindset and behavior - you’ll never believe what happened! This was the catalyst to my husband’s TRUE change, and he finally had the platform he needed to be the man I needed.

If you’re ready to make a change, but your husband isn’t ready, doesn’t want to, or is struggling to give you what you need, please apply to The White Picket Fence Project.

YOU DON’T NEED YOUR HUSBAND TO BE READY

You can take things into your own hands and change the course of your life, your husband’s life, and your family’s life as a unit…with or without your husband’s participation.
