I lived with constant blame, neglect, lies, and anxiety for a year while my husband insisted none of this was happening, and our marriage was failing because I was just a bad person.

Going public was the most liberating experience I've ever had and I don't regret it.

People who say to me now, "stop talking about it" don't realize that this has been an ongoing private hell. Talking about it is the only relief and peace I've felt in a long, long time. If you don't want to see me talk about it you're welcome to peace out, no hard feelings

Jared and Holly vilified me among all their friends for a year, isolating me, to help suppress their own guilt over their affair.

Now they're doing it publicly on Twitter. This is the same fight I've always been fighting, privately, with only my therapist to help me.

So yeah, I'm gonna keep responding to their lies. I don't have anything to hide and I don't need time to come up with a story. I'm ready to share my truth.

I NEVER expected anyone to believe me to begin with. They had so much social power over me from the very start.

I've been manipulated by them for a long time and made to feel as awful as she says I am.

I overcame that through therapy, positive coping mechanisms, channeling my frustrations into productivity, pursuing new goals.... my ONLY intention is to start a new life away from them.

One last thing... if you think I orchestrated this for personal gain, keep in mind that I stood to gain a LOT financially BY KEEPING QUIET.

I chose to come forward because my peace of mind is worth more than all the money he could ever give me.
