I, Beth, felt so validated when I read the book Prodepence: Moving Beyond Codepedency. I wasn't co-dependent. I was doing my best to love the addict I was married to and hold my family together in spite of the bad advice I had been given. I breathed a sigh of relief. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is caring for a loved one in the throes of addiction whether it is sexual addiction or something else.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
