The God who sees

Doors of Hope Article

And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me…. – Gen. 16:13 Something I did not expect from dealing with overcoming HB’s porn disclosure was how it would affect other relationships – not just my marriage. This is obviously a circumstance that one does not go around divulging

Respect

Doors of Hope Article

I come from a line of women whose tendency is to belittle men and show them little respect. Therefore respect does not necessarily come naturally to me. My paternal grandmother showed the opposite side of the coin by being very respectful of her husband, my grandpa. However, my grandpa was a prince of a man

Still broken

Doors of Hope Article

What happens when you start to feel like things are getting better and then all the sudden you are completely derailed emotionally? So many moments like this have come upon my marriage.

Sometimes it is in the letting go

Doors of Hope Article

We had made it past the one year mark. I still had some struggles, but by far things had gotten much better. Then once again I was prompted to ask the question: “Have you looked at porn?” And unfortunately the answer was yet again in the affirmative. And unfortunately yet again I had to ask

Again and again…

Doors of Hope Article

The fourth disclosure came very close to one year after the last time HB had admitted to viewing pornography. That time I did not find out for months and as usual it came about because of my own prying questions. This time was the first time HB ever voluntarily disclosed to me. I was away

Isolation

Doors of Hope Article

This one word is the reason I started this blog. As I walked the path of trying to heal from betrayal, I found myself feeling more alone than I ever had in my life. Are there resources out there for the woman in this situation? Yes, thankfully there are. But I found no holiness support.
