The real blessing to the masses would be to encourage readers not to choose the life she chose. Warn them, Jen! Use your platform for good and not for shilling and selfish gain and image-curation…Stop using it to protect your narrative and instead, show people why we all need Jesus in the first place! Because we are messy and sinful and all susceptible to this world. Instead of encouraging women to strive to be self-sufficient and hotter-than-ever and successful, just try to keep families together. Point people to Christ again—Jesus, who made it clear we weren’t meant to be self-sufficient. And clear that success in the Kingdom looks nothing like talk show appearances and brand names and relaxed self-pampering. Tell your readers the truth about your family—once they’re  split, they’re split… And the kids will feel guilty about the time they are “abandoning” one parent to be with the other… Or even “worse” bonding with the new step parent—tell people how you really feel about how much your children love Tina! Tell people how it feels to love a man for 25+ years, but choosing not to forgive him or love him through his own pain, because you’ve put yourself on such a high pedestal… then how you’re shocked and dismayed when he turns out to be a wonderful husband and father still, just like you knew him to be… Only you no longer get him for yourself. You are stuck with starting over with someone who not only doesn’t know you as well as Brandon but isn’t even interested in getting to know you as well as Brandon did.

That’s the message Jen should be honest about… Rather than trying to pretend like red stilettos and empty sex with a new boyfriend and me-camp-getaways can replace a family. Those are distractions at best. But she won’t be honest about the loneliness or the regrets… She won’t call her behavior selfish or sad… Because misery loves company. She’s hoping her audience follows her right off this cliff… and buys her products on the way down.[/quote]

Women should be successful and self sufficient and not have to put up with cheating and addicted husbands. [/quote]
