Have you been betrayed by your partner? Here's what to do after D-Day.

 
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
 
 

“D-Day” or “Discovery day” is the day you found out about your partner’s infidelity or process addiction and now you are thrown into a whirlwind of hurt, pain, anger, rage, flashbacks, self-doubt, disbelief, shame, embarrassment, and lonely feelings.

You feel stuck, unsure who to trust because everyone seems out to get you. It’s unfair and you need someone to trust and help you through the recovery process.

After D-Day, your job is to create a self-care plan. Your priority right now is nourishing your body, mind, soul, and of course, caring for your children (if you have them). Some self-care ideas include:

  • Group therapy

  • Prayer

  • Yoga

  • Meditation

  • Going on a walk

  • Engaging in one of your favorite hobbies

Your job is to immerse yourself in a group of women who help you heal, find a therapist or coach who understands and won’t judge you, and give yourself the space you need to heal. This isn’t the end. This is the beginning of a new you, a new life, freedom, and stability. It takes time, but it can and does happen for so many.
