Infidelity – Just How Difficult Is It to Leave a Cheating Spouse?
Today's
guest is Cheryl Kaye Tardif, author
of numerous bestselling suspense thrillers. Today Cheryl is going to discuss one
of the controversial elements of her thriller, CHILDREN OF THE FOG.
In my supernatural thriller, CHILDREN
OF THE FOG, I explore the sub-theme of infidelity,
I have friends whose spouses were unfaithful, and I have witnessed their
heartbreak and watched their lives spiral out of control. I have seen the
damage it has done to their psyche, to their self-confidence and to their families.
But mostly I have witnessed their inability to make an immediate decision and
leave. It's NOT that easy to walk away from the life you have known or the
future you have always dreamed of.
Of course most of us would proclaim we'd pack up and walk out the very
instant we discovered our spouse was diddling the secretary, neighbor, personal
trainer or best friend! Of course we'd think there's no other choice! We can
rationalize what we THINK we would do, but the truth is you just don't know
until it happens to you.
How often do we hear that a wife or husband has returned to the abusive
spouse? If they can go back to that,
knowing what their future has in store for them, why wouldn't they think it
possible to stick with a wandering spouse? And what if there are children
involved? We all think it would be easy to leave an abusive or unfaithful
husband and take our children with us. What if you lost custody in the battle?
In defense of Sadie, the main character in CHILDREN OF THE FOG, she's a
recovering alcoholic and proud mother who wants nothing more than to love her
son and watch him grow up. But her entire world comes crashing down on her in a
series of events that really leave her with very little time to think. Her
husband is imprisoned for fraud, and her best friend isn't as good a friend as
Sadie had thought. Even worse, her son Sam is abducted by a serial kidnapper
who has told her he'd kill Sam if she were to describe him. The clock is
ticking.
I can't tell you how this story ends, but I can tell you that fate and
destiny play a huge role. In CHILDREN OF THE FOG, you'll meet Sadie, a woman
whose life has been rocky and filled with challenges. She is very real, very
flawed and very human. And she has overcome most obstacles in her path—until
the unthinkable happens.
I invite you to suspend disbelief and step into Sadie's world…and the
world of the CHILDREN
OF THE FOG.
