Description

Married by Myself - There's a phrase you don't typically hear, and something Laurie Sullivan never dreamt would become her reality.

Author Laurie Sullivan takes you through an emotional and spiritual journey of her life "with a man hiding behind the cloth." In this memoir, so much is revealed to Laurie as she tries to be a loving and caring wife to her husband, Doug; a devoted woman to her church and the youth she was called to lead to God; a high school English teacher, and a protective and strong mother to three boys.

Laurie's experiences opened her eyes and revealed that what she might have felt was physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally impossible to push through and overcome at the time. Married by Myself is where Laurie grows in her walk with Christ and learns to put herself and her children first. For someone who was psychologically manipulated by her husband throughout their marriage into thinking "black was white," in what's known as gaslighting, Laurie finds strength deep within herself to keep faith at the forefront of her life...something she has embraced since the age of four and from having godly parents.

This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt or feels "married by themselves." For anyone who has ever questioned or questions their own sanity in a marriage. For anyone who has ever been gaslighted or is currently being gaslighted. For anyone who has felt or feels that waiting on guidance from God can seem like an eternity. Married by Myself is a portrait of a marriage filled with a husband's deceit and lies, but one that demonstrates the strength of God's faithfulness.
