77. Life After Discovery - A Son’s Journey Through Betrayal and Healing


Listen Later

In this intimate and powerful episode of the Helping Couples Heal podcast, Marnie talks with Brett Rankin, son of HCH Betrayal Trauma Coaches Susan and Scott Rankin, who vulnerably and courageously shared their story of relational betrayal on the podcast in August of 2024. In this candid conversation, Brett reflects for the first time publicly on his experience navigating life after the discovery of his father’s addiction when he was 18 years old. He opens up about the emotional impacts of betrayal on himself, his role in supporting his younger sister and and his relationship with both of his parents throughout their separation and healing. He reflects on the healing process, finding resilience, and the steps he's taken toward forgiveness and personal growth.

This episode offers a rare and deeply human perspective on the ripple effects of sex addiction on families and the strength it takes to find hope and healing in the aftermath. Whether you're on a similar journey or simply seeking insight into complex family dynamics, this conversation is both eye-opening and inspiring.
