Marillyn's Path to Healing: Overcoming Abuse and Codependency

Sometimes, I know, people have a lightning bolt moment and everything changes and they see things differently in a moment. Do you think your transformation came quickly or slowly?
Imagine carrying the weight of a painful past while trying to rebuild your life. That's what Marillyn faced, and in this heartfelt episode of 'Our Real Life', she sits down with Bob Bay to share her journey from sexual abuse to recovery. Marillyn opens up about the trauma she endured as a child and how it led to deep-seated issues like codependency and strained relationships.
Her story is one of gradual transformation, fueled by faith and the supportive community she found in Celebrate Recovery. Marillyn's candid conversation touches on the challenges of setting boundaries and the importance of forgiveness, especially towards her emotionally unavailable mother. Through her faith and attending church with her brother and sister-in-law, Marillyn found a path to healing.
