I thought I was finally going to have it all.
A successful husband who said he loved me. A family.
Three homes. First-class travel around the world.
And a three-carat engagement ring we had picked out together.
The only thing left to do was sign the prenup—waiving all my legal rights as a wife.
Looking back now, I can see what kept me there—especially after raising my daughter on my own.
The promise of a better life wasn’t just seductive.
It felt like the reward for all the years of sacrifice and hard work.
So when a man showed up on a white horse with bigger-than-life promises,it was easy to say yes.
What I didn’t realize at the time was that I was still chasing something outside of myself—driven by a pattern that wouldn’t let me slow down long enough to know myself trust myself or heed the red flags I kept seeing.
On May 3rd, I made a promise to stop hiding this story.
A romance that reached its peak atop the Eiffel Tower…and led to its unraveling in the middle of a recovery center in Kentucky for codependency—also known as love addiction.
That’s where the real story began.
If any part of this hits home—if you’ve ever ignored a red flag because you wanted something to work so badly—you’re not alone.
It’s not weakness.
It’s a pattern.
A pattern that can be undone.
