When Michael Comstock was 17, he discovered that his mom was having an affair. The betrayal didn’t just affect his parents’ marriage—it shattered his sense of safety, trust, and family.
Years later, Michael realized the fallout was still affecting him. He struggled to trust women, sabotaged relationships, feared marriage, and wondered if he was doomed to repeat his parents’ story.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why a parent’s affair can feel like a betrayal of the children too
How divorce wounds can surface years later in dating and relationships
Why Michael felt guilty building a relationship with his stepfather
What helped him forgive his mom and stepfather without excusing what happened
How he went from fearing marriage to becoming a husband and father
If your parent cheated, if you struggle with anger or trust because of what happened in your family, or if you’re afraid you’ll repeat your parents’ mistakes, this episode is for you.
