Divorce might seem like the obvious answer when betrayal occurs, but there are ways to save a marriage or relationship if the betrayer and partner are willing to step into healing. In this conversation between Dr. Jake and APSATS Certified Partner Coach and Supervisor, Kim Hansen Petroni, they discuss the topic of divorce after the betrayal from several angles.

What can you do when you pray and wait for change in your husband after sexual betrayal but he continues to act out, lie, or treat you with contempt and disregard? These situations are heartbreaking and yet you are not alone. Kim Petroni has been there too and now coaches betrayed partners, helping them walk in their God given identity and courageously stand for truth.

Can you be gaslight in the courtroom?  By attorneys?  What does it look like to recognize this?
