If there is one thing I can say with utmost certainty to any sufferer of retroactive jealousy, it is this:
You are not alone.
In the few short weeks this site has been active, and my book has been for sale, I have been fortunate enough to connect with a wide variety of people dealing with RJ from around the world. My site has received hundreds of visitors from over 25 countries, spanning every gender, sexual orientation, age, etc. From Iceland to India, I feel fortunate to be providing hope and encouragement to others involved in a struggle that can often feel extremely isolating.
When I was struggling with retroactive jealousy, I often felt alone. I may have discussed my problem with a trusted friend or family member, but for the most part I was too ashamed to speak up. And even when I did, I felt as though others simply didn’t “get it.”
“What’s the problem? The past is gone. Live in the moment, and enjoy what you share with Layla now” would be the general advice others would offer; no doubt apt, but sorely lacking in practical guidance.
I wrote the book, in part, because I remember how empty this type of advice used to sound. I remember how isolated I used to feel.
My guidebook offers an unambiguous and practical step-by-step path to overcoming retroactive jealousy. It is not an easy path, but I can attest to the fact that it gets easier, and more fulfilling the farther you travel.
In the meantime, take comfort in the fact that you are not alone. There are literally millions of people around the world going through a situation similar to yours, and seeking the same answers you are.
It has been incredibly rewarding to be able to provide some of these answers. Moreover, it has been enlightening and encouraging to have readers share their personal stories with me. I’ve been taken aback at how frank, unguarded, and brave some of my readers have been in their emails to me. It takes courage to admit that you have a problem, no doubt, but it takes a special kind of bravery to let your guard down and offer your story to a complete stranger.
If you have any questions or comments about the site or the book, please send me an email at frank.j.morrison@gmail.com. Future articles on this website, and future editions of my book, stand to benefit from your feedback.
To all of the people buying the book and writing to me, I am humbled by and grateful for your courage and support. So thank-you.
