The media goes wild when politicians and celebrities being
caught "cheating" on their spouses are exposed in public. Most of
these types of stories focus on the person doing the "cheating,"
not the partner who is left behind. After the media spotlight cools
down, what happens to these partners? How do they make the decision
to stay or go? Is there really any hope for the future of the
relationship? How do they survive the shame and move forward?
"Mending A Shattered Heart" provides real hope, promise and
inspiration to readers who are struggling.
Anyone who has discovered their loved one, the one person that they
are supposed to trust completely, has been cheating on them will
want to read this book. Readers have an opportunity to explore
whether the person they are in a relationship with is simply
behaving badly or truly suffers from a disease called sex
addiction. Knowing the difference and knowing what to do about it
can be transformational.
Author and editor, Stefanie Carnes brings together several leading
experts in the field of sex addiction and family therapy to guide
the reader through an assortment of difficult questions, including,
Should I stay or should I go?, How Do I Set Boundaries and Keep
Myself Safe?, What Does It Mean if My Partner Has Shown an Interest
in Minors? and "What should I tell the kids?" Each of these topics
are tackled in individual chapters producing a comprehensive guide
that offers readers expertise on how to begin the painful road of
mending a shattered heart.
What is unique about "Mending A Shattered Heart" is that it offers
such inspiration and promise for the partner of a sex addict. It
shows the seriousness of sex addiction and offers hope by showing
that treatment can be successful, but hard work needs to be
done--by both the partner and the addict. Without partners really
examining their relationship with the sex addict, they can find
themselves in a spiral of devastating relationships, essentially
leaving the relationship and then falling in love with the same
type of person over and over again with the same disastrous
results. "Mending A Shattered Heart" shows the reader that they do
have options. Even if the partner makes the decision to leave the
relationship, there are things they can do to help them in their
own recovery and make sure this never happens again. If they choose
to stay in the relationship, they can work toward repairing the
damaged relationship along with their own recovery.
All the material in "Mending A Shattered Heart" is provided in a
question and answer format that delves into essential information
including therapeutic and practical information that the partner
can use right away. This second edition of the book includes a new
focus on the impact of the trauma when a partner discovers his or
her partner is cheating and what to do about it.
