Send us a textToday I want to tell you the story of an amazing woman who was the victim of her marriage AND her church that knew all the gory details, and yet chose to put her under discipline when she decided to end the marriage.TRIGGER WARNINGIn the first half of the podcast there is graphic descriptions of what her husband did to her. I did mention during the podcast when this was about to occur, so that people could fast forward if they chose to. But the description is horrendous. I wanted people to know what she was facing, and to understand her pastor knew this too.NOTE ON NEURODIVERGENCEPart of this woman’s story, she believes, is her husband’s lack of diagnosis for autism, which she believes contributed to his inability and unwillingness to see things from her perspective.Plenty of autistic people are able to relate emotionally with their spouses, even if they do it in different ways. And they value connecting.What is shared in this podcast is merely her story, and we understand that it is not the case with many neurodivergent people, who can have loving marriages.THINGS MENTIONED IN THE PODCASTOur new Fixed It for You Workbook!
