The flood of tears that occured when I filed for a temple divorce in 2014 could have filled the bathtub a dozen times. I didn’t want a divorce, but felt deeply prompted that keeping the union between my first husband and myself wasn’t going to do either...
I sat in my bed tears pouring down my face when I first heard of her death. It is amazing how quickly the brain tries to protect itself from hard information. I felt panic, but the first thing I did was check the news. Just like that, I fell into denial. This...

There were so many days and so many nights when I held on for dear life. It seemed that if I breathed wrong everything that I ever loved and ever wanted would slip through my fingers and I would be lost. Lost without a purpose with no hope of finding home. So many...

I am a broken child of God. A child who found herself, reduced to nothing but soul, after 19 years marriage. I survived the betrayal of infidelity. I survived divorce! I survived losing a man that I dearly loved! I have faced my worst fears and through the deep roots that God gave me I survived. This is my story, my journey to find my own healing and peace.
I am excited because I get to write the ending of my story and I'm determined that It will be beautiful!

I decided that when life was failing me, why not go to the happiest place on earth and try to make something beautiful. It was a defining moment that empowered me. If I could manage a 7 day trip to Disney Land by myself with an 8,6, and 2 year old, I could do anything.

My name is Norma Zaugg, In 2013 I found myself in a counselors office lost and broken. I was a shell of a person, my identity nearly gone. The months that followed would be the hardest of my life. As I came out of the shadows I discovered that my husband of 19 years was a sex addict. This is the story of my fight through betrayal, codependancy, divorce and my ongoing trauma. I will survive....I get to write the ending of my story and I am determined that it will be beautiful.
