SHARING OUT LOUD
What Came After: Marriage, Divorce & Reclaiming Her Life: Hope Henderson Part 2
In Part 1 of my conversation with Hope Henderson, we talked about the sexual assault she experienced in her early 20s and how that trauma shaped so much of what came next. In Part 2, we talk about the man she thought was going to be her forever. Hope’s sister introduced them. Her family already knew him. He worked for a church. They dated for three years. He was her everything, and from the outside, it looked like all the pieces were falling into place for the perfect life. But even after three years together, Hope says she didn’t know the man she was actually marrying. After the wedding, another side began to emerge. The control. The manipulation. The narcissistic behaviors. Slowly, the marriage she thought she was walking into became something very different. Hope shares what it was like to recognize what was happening inside her marriage, how difficult it can be to see controlling behavior when you’re the one living in it, and what ultimately led her to divorce and begin rebuilding her life. This conversation is about marriage and divorce, but it’s also about trusting yourself again, finding your voice, and realizing that sometimes the life you thought you were supposed to have is the life you have to find the courage to leave. Thank you again to Hope for being vulnerable. Thank you for sharing YOUR story so that others won't feel so alone. Thank you for giving other women HOPE❤️.
