Summary

If your child was starving and asked you for bread, would you make her eat from a dumpster? If your child was dying of thirst and asked for water, would you pour sand down his throat? Are you that child? Starving for safety. And love. And honesty. And help. And tenderness. And dying a little more each day in their absence and their opposites. So why doesn't God treat you like a daughter? Why does he give food and drink and good husbands and happy families to some but to you...only pain? If these questions keep you up at night, this episode is for you. I answer listener questions about: - The SURPRISING thing your abusive marriage tells you about God - The people I DON'T HELP, and what I do instead - Why TRIGGERS are often less about past trauma and more about CORE BELIEFS - How asking questions about fears (like the fear that your husband and family are spying on your social media posts) is a simple way to BREAK THROUGH them Listen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/137 FREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?

0:00.0	Hi, this is Natalie Hoffman of Flying Free Now, and you're listening to the Flying Free
0:10.2	podcast, a support resource for Women of Faith, looking for hope and healing from hidden
0:16.6	emotional and spiritual abuse.
0:21.6	Welcome to episode 137 of the Flying Free Podcast. Today we have some great
0:26.7	listener questions so let's get started.
0:30.1	Hi Natalie, thank you for your podcast. They're amazing. I just recently discovered them and I don't know what I would do without them.
0:38.0	I am a listener from South Korea. I do, I am from the state
0:44.0	from the states however and I just have this question that's just been really
0:49.4	just has been burning to get to get across to somebody to have somebody answer.
0:55.6	But basically my sister had posted on social media
0:59.6	about how much she has been blessed, you know, from her spouse of eight years of marriage and
1:08.1	it was their anniversary and she just loves her spouse. She's really experienced God's goodness and love through her marriage,
1:17.6	whereas she used to be cynical before that, and it was really hard to read.
1:22.1	It actually has pretty much wrecked me
1:24.3	reading that because I've been in an emotionally abusive marriage for almost 10 years
1:29.6	and I just really question God's goodness and love for me and why it's so different, I guess.
1:40.0	Why God's goodness and love follow her but not me.

1:51.0	I've experienced that circumstance and some of those feelings myself.
1:57.4	So let's dig into that. One of the things that I teach and do a lot of coaching
