Beth's Story

Send us Fan MailHello, I’m Stacy, the host of Mothers, Lies and DNA Surprises Podcast. Thank you for being here.  Today I am sharing Beth’s story and our conversation!  Beth will share how dark her emotions got early in her discovery so this is a trigger warning for anyone who struggles with depression, suicidal thoughts or mental health If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis there is free, confidential help available 24/7 by calling or texting 988 or chatting on line at 988lifeline.org.  As Beth shares, and so many I hear from, her Mother held her to a higher standard throughout her life and while growing up her mother would preach not to lie or else, yet those same mothers held the biggest lie!Beth will share that it wasn’t the affair that hurt, it’s the lifetime of lying about who her father was. These secrets protects them, not us, the children, the innocent children. Beth has lived her life putting herself in other people’s shoes and she can’t make this ok, she is stuck.  Working towards moving forward and forgiving but she’s not there yet.Beth gave some great advice in our conversation, she talks about allowing yourself the “whoa is me days”, room to cry, grieve, ask for help and so importantly giving yourself permission to say “NO”.Thank you Beth for your vulnerability, honesty and for sharing your story with us!If you would like to reach out to Beth email me at [email protected] and put Beth's Story in the subject line and I will share your message with her.  Thank you!Music is "Drown in your Lies" by NoxAwake via Pixabay
