Elisa, 6 Years Later: Life After He Left
A Continuation of One Woman’s Experince of Betrayal and Abandonment
Six years ago, Elisa's husband told her he was leaving their marriage for another woman. In the original three-part "Elisa's Story" series, she shared the raw experience of that first year: the shock, the grief, the impact on her sons, and the anxiety of navigating co-parenting with the woman who had replaced her.
Now, six years after her husband left, Tim Tedder revisits that conversation with Elisa to explore what long-term healing actually looks like. What has changed? What still hurts? How does she interact with her Ex? How are her children doing, and what happened when she came face-to-face with the other woman? And what does moving forward, including stepping back into dating, look like after a betrayal that upended everything?
This episode is for anyone who wonders whether the pain ever truly lifts and what life on the other side of devastation can be like.
