Stop Accepting “Non-Apology” Apologies
Good morning friends, Thanks for all your prayers. I am back home safe and sound. We drove five days cross country with our dog, Gracie, but she was great through it all. It’s weird, but it already feels like a long time ago. I miss the grandchildren and the warm weather, but I am excited to be offering some new…
My Husband Is In Denial About His Abuse
Morning friends, I’m headed back to Pennsylvania and will be on the road all week. I’d appreciate your prayers for safe travels. We’ve had a great time and will miss our sweet granddaughters. It’s been great having this time to get to know them more and vice versa. This week’s question: I have felt awkward and isolated in various…
Sexual Abuse In Marriage – A Real Life Experience
Morning Friends, This is my last week in California and I will be heading home the 31st. I will miss this beautiful state and my sweet grandkids, but I’m ready to get back into my own home. From time to time I hear stories from women (and men) who would like to share their experience on this blog. I’ve invited…
Am I Making Up My Abuse?
Morning friends, Hope you had a great weekend. I got a bad cold but had a great speaking event at the Casablanca Bridal Shop in Newport Beach, California. The sponsoring organization, Celebrate Forever, seeks to educate couples on what makes relationships work, and equip them with the tools and skills to transform bad relational habits into ones that will help…
Shortening The Abuse Learning Curve
Hi Friends, We got quite a response to last week’s blog on five reasons a woman may be resistant to “seeing” or “stopping” the destruction in her marriage. This week I want to talk about what we can do to shorten that learning curve. It does not have to take 30+ years of suffering to identify destructive behavior, to find…
Do I Have To Stay Married To An Abusive Spouse?
Morning friends, Over the last few weeks we’ve talked about our various “selves” and ways we can recognize the good parts and bad parts, the healthy parts and not so healthy parts, the parts that work “for us” and the parts that work against us. Last week I added the dimension of masculine and feminine to help us clarify even…
How Can I Know God Better?
Morning friends, WOW! I’m so grateful for the level of support you give to one another on this blog and your willingness to go deeper inside, to discover hidden or unknown parts of yourself. I was talking with a friend this week about this whole idea of knowing who you are and growing up to be all that God created…
How Do I Break Up With A Destructive Friend?
Morning friends, We’ve been talking about our shadow and different parts of ourselves over the last few weeks. This week, I want to do something different – even a little weird but I think it might be very helpful for some of you to grasp more fully your shadow and/or the different aspects of your interior landscape. Let’s look at…
How Do I Minister To My Unbelieving Abusive Husband?
Morning friends, How are you doing? I mean really doing, deep in your soul and spirit? Are you sensing His presence? His love? His forgiveness? His help? I hope so. Many of you here experience a crushed spirit. You are regularly invalidated, dismissed, demeaned and degraded and used as an object. This takes it’s toll on you and please don’t…
