Editor’s note: Yesterday, we introduced Rhyll and Steven Croshaw in an introduction to a series of posts we’ll be featuring this week: Healing from Pornography Addiction: Hope for Addicts, Spouses.

   “Gently Up the Stream” – © 2003 by Linda J Curley Christensen Used by permission of the artist. This week, we will be devoting several posts to helping the many people whose lives have been affected by the plague of pornography addiction. Much of our focus will be to reach out to women whose husbands (or boyfriends) struggle with pornography / sexual addiction, but we hope the content will be helpful for anyone who knows and cares about someone with a an addiction, and for addicts themselves.  Tomorrow, we’ll be sharing more of Rhyll Croshaw’s story. She and her husband, Steven, have been working through this trial for over 30 years. As you can imagine, there have been many ups and downs in their journey together. The painting above, “Gently Up the Stream,” has become a symbol for them, both of what they have learned and what they need to continually focus on. Rhyll writes: I see myself as the woman in the left canoe. I am gently... Read the rest of this entry »

Why the notoriety of this particular group of people? They have been known to picket funerals – including Gordon B. Hinckley’s funeral.

A Mormon woman shares of the heartbreak of abuse, and how she was able to find healing. ~Name withheld It is over a decade later. I have finally come to the realization that I am an abused woman. No, I never received a bruise, a cut or a strike of the hand, but the words that berated me daily broke my spirit, cut into my confidence and beat me into a silent depressed ghost of myself. I no longer laughed, I no longer made goals or plans and I never ventured out of my little cell of allowable actions. I had the perfect life, from the outside. Many women envied my world. They couldn’t see into the shaded windows and the tinted glass of my prison. The man they respected and honored was not the man that I lived with. The even-tempered loving demeanor changed instantly when he walked through the door. I became a whore in the bedroom and a housekeeper outside of it. My own views, desires and needs meant nothing. How does a strong, self-assured woman turn into a cowering child? Day... Read the rest of this entry »

A dear friend recently told me the story of a man who went to see a herbalist in her valley for his stress and high blood pressure.  The man was tested of many things and came out clean.  The specialist then proceeded to instruct the man to go out and spend some time in nature.  He left her office upset and without paying for the ‘advice’. A few weeks later he called her and asked ‘Can I come and pay you now?’ He had taken her counsel as he was out of other options and didn’t know what else to do.  He had found peace again and his life had been changed for the better. My friend, who related this story to me, was at the seminar where this specialist spoke.  As she shared this with me it struck a chord in my own soul and I have been trying to heed that.  My recent stresses have included another move, getting reestablished and helping my children through the challenges of changes. We’re right... Read the rest of this entry »

I was born two weeks early.  Back in the 1970s, before many of the modern technologies hospitals have now to help premies, that was a big deal.  My mother told me I came out so fast, the doctor barely had time to get his gloves on to catch me.  It was determined that something was wrong with me and so tests were performed and it came as no surprise that my parents, especially my mother, were worried.  My father immediately called my grandpa to come and help him give me a priesthood blessing.  When they arrived at the hospitals nursery where I was, the nurses wouldn’t allow my grandpa and father inside for safety reasons regarding the other babies there.  But they did permit them to take me out into the hall, just outside of the nursery.  My grandpa said I was so small, he could hold me in the palm of his hand.  So in that cold, empty hospital hallway, with the priesthood they held, my father and grandfather gave me a blessing of healing. The next morning, when all the test... Read the rest of this entry »
