October marked Month Three after discovering my husband’s affair — and it was the month the fantasy really began to fade.

This episode takes you inside the chaos of homecoming weekend, the awkward tension of standing beside him at the parade, the ceiling fan conversation that gave me false hope, and the painful reality of parenting through betrayal. I share raw journal entries, real text messages, and the weight of sitting at my kitchen table filling out divorce paperwork — not filing yet, but facing the truth that my 24-year marriage was unraveling.

It was a month of confusion, heartbreak, and strength I didn’t know I had. The parade. The photos. The paperwork. The grief. The beginning of letting go.

If you’ve ever felt the moment when reality sets in — when you realize the person you loved isn’t coming back — this one’s for you.

✨ Content includes:

• Homecoming parade + dance weekend (neighbors, photos, family moments that felt like snapshots on borrowed time)

• Ceiling fan + office conversation (the night he promised to always be there)

• Journal entries + texts (raw, unfiltered)

• Parenting in a minefield (trying to protect the boys while not betraying myself)

• Walking therapy + Dr. Denise’s grief chart

• Business stress + financial fear

• Thanksgiving flashback after my dad’s death — the red flag moment I didn’t see

• The heaviness of divorce paperwork — the cliffhanger

💬 Let’s walk through this together. Because even in the darkest months, hope flickers — and you are not alone.
