| Introduction | Do you remember the way your skin felt after a really bad sunburn ... the peeling was done but the skin was still tender and pink? My heart feels that way ALL. THE. TIME. It's the result of healing from trauma caused by my sex addicted spouse and porn addicted son. I have felt very small and insignificant in the shadow of addiction but I am learning to lean on the Savior to become whole again. You can call me Pink Lady or Maria Tenderling. Neither is my real name, but my thoughts here are very real. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, wife of a sex addict, mother of five sons (one of whom has a porn addiction). This is the raw version of my journey to heal. I will share my life as it unfolds into something new... a place I never planned to be but find myself in nonetheless. Knowing that I am not alone has given me hope. I want to pass that hope along to others who are feeling small, alone and afraid. I still have lots of choices as I leap out of the darkness and into the spotlight where I am the star of my own life at last. [Wo]man is that [s]he might have joy. That's my goal. JOY! I know it's possible and I'm determined to get there. |
