About Us
Kendra and Sara met at a recovery meeting
for women affected by another person’s sexual addiction. In
utter frustration at the lack of direction for women like themselves,
the idea for a guidebook, When the Other Woman is Online, was born. |

Sara Brooks
Sara is a middle school English teacher
who was married to a sexually addicted pastor for thirteen years.
After he committed adultery, she separated from him. Realizing
she had enabled her husband to act out his addiction, she began
a recovery program to become a healthier individual. After journaling,
getting counseling and attending recovery meetings, Sara was
still depressed because she did not want to live in a marriage
with a sex addict, but also did not want to divorce her husband.
She began to practice new communication skills, and gave her
husband a list of non-negotiable actions he needed to do to
win her back. By working through a twelve step program, she
forgave her husband. A year later, her husband still had not
done the things she had requested, so she filed for divorce.
Her divorce was final in October 2005.
Sara counsels many wives of sex addicts, helping them understand
how to become healthy enough to make wise decisions based on
truth, not lies. |

| Kendra Shelly
Kendra was married to a sex addict for
nine years and has two sons. She spent the first several years
of her marriage ignoring and minimizing the signs of her husband’s
betrayals, and focusing on her graduate studies in morality
and ethics. Then she was forced to grapple with these very
issues in her own marriage when her husband formally gave
her full disclosure of all his sexually inappropriate behaviors.
Immediately she relied on her research abilities to find books
for women married to sex addicts. While she found many regarding
this subject, they left her with more questions than answers,
telling her to be more understanding of her husband's situation,
yet not giving her any viable day to day advice for living
with a sex addict. Her anger with these books led her to attend
recovery meetings, get professional counseling, and seek out
advice from experts in the field of sexual addiction and co-addiction.
Sexual addiction is the silent addiction that very few are
willing to speak about. However, Kendra isn’t shy about
discussing sexual addiction. In fact, she uses her wit and
sense of humor to both educate women and also help them feel
comfortable opening up about the subject. |
