When a parent cheats, it doesn’t just wound the marriage. It can wound the children too.
For many young people from broken families, infidelity creates a terrifying fear: What if I get cheated on too? Or worse, what if I become the one who cheats?
In this episode, Joey talks with marriage and family therapist Doug Hinderer about how affairs happen, why betrayal damages a child’s ability to trust, and how young people from broken families can avoid repeating their parents’ mistakes.
They discuss:
Why affairs often begin long before anything physical happens
How infidelity affects children, even years later
Why love feels unsafe after betrayal
The role of forgiveness in healing from a parent’s affair
How to talk about the fear of infidelity in dating or marriage
The three habits that help build a faithful, lasting marriage
Why you are not doomed to repeat your parents’ story
If you’re afraid of being cheated on, afraid of becoming your parents, or unsure if lasting love is even possible after what you witnessed growing up, this episode is for you.
