The tables got turned. I was interviewed by my sweet friend Amy for her podcast. Living in a religion at the time that looks down on DIVORCE heavily....having come from a dysfunctional family and suffered trauma...going through two divorces...stepparenting...the "Show" I was putting out there....she asked me the hard questions..."Do you think trauma affected your first and second marriages? How?"...."Why did your second marriage not work?"...."I never wouldve known you were going through all this...why didnt you talk about it?"....changes in relationship to God and church after with the judgments too, people pleasing, talking myself out of things, self betrayal. Its a lot. And Im glad she asked the hard questions. How I found freedom. How I can easily talk about all this. How I can be moving on and open. you wont find me throwing other peoples missteps around...I focus on the lessons and what I HAD control over with myself now. But it takes a lot of work to get there.
