66. Why Won't They Believe Me, I'm NOT Crazy!

12 minutes

In this empowering episode of 'The Empowered Divorce Podcast,' I delve into the painful yet common experience of not being believed after betrayal and divorce. I give voice to the struggles of being labeled as the 'crazy one' and the challenges of seeking validation and acknowledgment in the face of judgment and misunderstanding.

Key Points:

The Struggle for Belief: Exploring why friends, family, and clergy often fail to believe the betrayed partner's side of the story.

Feeling Labeled as 'Crazy': Addressing the common misconception that the betrayed spouse is responsible for the relational collapse.

Dealing with Judgement: How betrayed partners are often misjudged and blamed for their reactions to trauma and abuse.

The Impact of Gaslighting and Abuse: Understanding the effect of long-term emotional manipulation on the betrayed partner’s behavior and reactions.

Seeking Validation: The challenges of conveying the truth to those close to you and the emotional toll of not being acknowledged.

Navigating Divorce in Survival Mode: Discussing the intensified abuse post-separation and the struggle to be seen and heard.

Empowering Thoughts: Offering strategies for self-validation and empowerment amidst external disbelief and judgment. I share 3 thoughts to practice
