Parenting Divorce

I was a rescuer for 47 years. I spent those years ignoring my own problems and trying to rescue everyone else. I had been socially programmed to be a rescuer by my family. Rescuing was part of my family-culture and ran through our DNA going back at least four generations. My grandfathers were rescuers too, and like me, their rescuing behaviors destroyed relationships and cost lives. My rescuing behaviors cost me two marriages, both ending in divorce, and left me burned-out and broke without food for my children on Christmas Eve.

When trust breaks, so do we. But being shattered doesn't mean you're broken forever. Infidelity is not just a relationship crisis; it is a betrayal trauma that shatters your sense of safety, self-worth, and reality. When the person you trusted most becomes the source of your deepest wound, you're left with sleepless nights, relentless what-ifs, and agonizing self-doubt. How do you calm the storm in your mind? How do you rebuild when your identity is shattered? And how do you answer the impossible question: Should I leave, or is it possible to heal and rebuild?

You are strong and resilient, and there’s a bright future ahead of you—all you need are the tools to believe in yourself again and a determination to thrive… You’ve finally broken free from a toxic relationship, but the scars run deep, and it is only as you begin to find your feet again that you realize just how much your relationship affected you. You may have been overtly dominated, or you may have been quietly manipulated—given the silent treatment, demeaned in public, made to question your own reality…

Walking away allows you to prioritize yourself, giving you the opportunity to rediscover what fulfills you outside the relationship, ensuring that your needs are met regardless of his response. Prioritizing your own happiness and emotional well-being is essential, and sometimes that means shifting your focus away from the relationship and toward the things in life that bring you joy, fulfillment, and personal growth.

Greg Schwem's mid-life journey may not result in a movie starring the male version of Julia Roberts (Tom Cruise, are you reading this?) but it is a helluva lot funnier.
