You've been through the ringer and now he's saying he's ready to change and you don't know how to feel - confusion, anger, uncertainty, doubt. None of those are wrong. And you don't have to stop feeling them to help him do this. You're allowed. And you're also allowed to not help him at all.

Debra: Oh, I would never want you to lie.
Trey: Well, pretending I don't know about John, what he's done, the things he's said, that's lying, Mom. That's lying by pretending I'm okay with it. I'm not.

Veronica: No, you don't want to talk about it, Mom. You want to do whatever you want to do.
Debra: That's not true, Veronica.
Veronica: And then you just want to come here and have, like, sangria with everyone and act like nothing is going on, like no one did whatever they could to help you get away from this guy and that you're just right back with him.

PI formerly known as Nurse Carla

Thank you for this.

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Mr. Katimski: My primary work is in the treatment of families and couples. As one of my specialties within couples therapy is the study of infidelity and its impact. In a marriage, under that marital contract, people rely on each other. They feel safe with one another, but that safety carries a price. When you have complete faith, vulnerability means what occurs with the loss of that faith - the separation from any sense of the realities of one's life. During this period, the victim feels upended. She is getting information she does not want to believe, that what the infidel says is untrue and so she is very torn. Frequently during this time, the behavior of the infidel makes the victim feel crazy. And the infidel will tell her there's nothing wrong. She's crazy to be thinking that, that she is crazy. Gaslighting - it's named after a famous motion picture in which a man who wants something from a woman pretends to be her friend, marries her, but in fact is her enemy and in the process, being very kind to his victim but in truth, in every moment he is undermining her sanity. The longer that the marriage goes on, the more at stake in it in terms of children, stability, its essential fabric. Everything is called into question: the victim's self esteem, their ability to trust themselves as far as whether they even were a good parent, a good person, or whether they can be. They begin to say, "If I couldn't judge this thing which was a part of my life every day for years, if I misread so many things, accepted to many lies, how can I believe that I know anything at all?" What is not understood is that the more the lying goes on, the more brainwashing, as someone is told over and over something is not true that is in fact true, the more pressure the victim is under. In my work, and I find this particularly important where there are children, the first thing I tell the couple is the object of this therapy is a better marriage or a better divorce. And to achieve that, the first thing that has to happen is the infidel has to be willing to both admit and express remorse, to say, "I have deeply hurt you. I have lied. I admit it. I am sorry." Those are the necessary conditions for change. In their absence, you just add to the pressure cooker. But unless something is extended to the victim that says, "You are not crazy. This has happened. You are not wrong to have these feelings of absolute unsupport, self hatred, anger toward everyone, but here they are. Let's go on." As long as there is no resolution for the victim at all, healing does not take place. All she thought she knew is being called into question. What that tends to create in the victim is a tremendous sense of unreality about her very being, when, particularly over the course of a protracted infidelity, every day is filled with lies. What the person wants more than anything else is to be relieved of this pain and this burden. Anything that will begin that process is going to be a relief, no matter how painful it is. It is going to be as if that spout on the pressure cooker is finally open and the steam can get out. Too often the infidel will run further and further away as the person presses to gain that release, and of course that just increases the victim's pain and confusion and anger, making them feel their life has become a mockery, that they barely exist. A pressure cooker must have some type of release. In fact, that was the problem. They were taken off the market - pressure cookers. Eventually, they tended to explode.

Karen: She was a total megabitch last night, even worse than usual. I mean, telling Karen it was her fault for abandoning Chip?
Janet: And what about Abby? I mean, she's just going to let Diana stay with them and not even ask her about Chip being a murderer?
Evelyn: Why are we always talking about Knots Landing?
Karen: If you watched it, you would know.
Evelyn: I wish I cared about anything as much as they care about that show.
Karen: We care about you almost as much.

Betty: I think Dan's banging his assistant.
Janet: We all know Dan. Dan isn't like that.
Betty: Nobody's like that until they are.

Karen: Compared to yours, my situation was simple. Frank lived in terror of getting caught, which is probably why I caught him. I kicked him out and he was never good at being a bachelor before we got married so he begged to come back and I let him and then he bought me a Porsche.
Betty: An American fairy tale.

 

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Sid: There might be some people who could think your situation's not all that bad.
Betty: Didn't I meet you in jail?

Betty: If Dan had defrauded a business partner the way he did me when he broke our contract, he'd be the one in jail, not me.

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Woman: They're calling her a woman scorned - Anita Hill. They call you that a lot too. They like that one.
Betty: Being scorned just means other people think you're worthless. Doesn't mean you are.
