Thank you for sharing part of your courageous journey with us!

Your wife will likely need some strong support as you brave together what could be a bumpy road ahead. Loneliness, confusion and betrayal trauma are all real impacts and probably haven't fully hit yet. Some wives benefit greatly from support groups like S-Anon, others very much don't, but you might want to let her know about the option. Even if she doesn't join a group, it could be very beneficial for you to put her in touch with the wives of others in your group who are willing to speak to her who can offer hope and encouragement and a listening ear to ease the loneliness. Counselling or therapy might also offer her the tools she needs to cope. These are just some suggestions that have helped us. Wishing you much hatzlacha as you trudge the road to happy destiny, where you'll come out stronger and closer than before, be"h.
