"Life without faith becomes anemic and predictable, never sufficently stirring to compel us to risk for the future."

"The presumption that a victim is merely inocent, and pure while the abuser is merely evil is not only too simplistic, but it denies the darkness we know exists in every human heart."

"The disruptive and abrasive surge of memory and emotion indicaes our frantic effort to find solace and safety when our foundation has fallen out below us. But in most cases, the effort to find an explanation or a resolution by scanning the past only adds more chaos to a soul that already feels like it is disintegrating."

"Not only does betrayal rip away the foundation of trust and confidence in others, but it also isolates us in a web of memories."

"Betrayal sends us reeling . . . from terror to reget."

"As any relationship ends through trauma of betrayl, it moves though the process that involves more than one lie, one affair, or one moment of slander. But in essence it begins with a failure to love that is neither confessed, forgiven, nor reconciled."

"Because betrayl begets betrayl, the betrayed msut not ony wrestle with the loss, heartache, doubt, and shame that comes with any division, but also with an even deeper struggle: The betrayed often becomes the betrayer."

Ignoring Dignity: To ignore the other is to fade from a relationship without honesty acknowledgeing the distance or fighting to recover it. It is breaking off a relationship because of a grudge nursed though self-righteouness rather than working toward reconciliation though honest dialogue, confession, and repentance.
