"The best revenge is no longer wanting revenge." This is amazing story and also a better crossover than Infinity War :D
yea given this woman LITERALLY said the way she found out her husband was cheating WAS MEDITATING AND GOD TOLD HER! She even said that at the most he EMOTIONALLY cheated. She has NO PROOF OF ANYTHING and made all this!!?!?!! Wtf??? Total psycho!!!
@@TheCollapse410...upon finding the initial text messages, that was the only proof, which she didn't want to consider as "proof". If you know the entire story, she did discover everything and the truth came out. So STFU with your ridicule.
@@TheCollapse410you didn’t listen to the whole thing obviously. She FOUND text messages. She did not go into detail because the whole thing is embarrassing and I am sure she is trying to be dignified for her daughter’s sake. That is still her daughter’s father after all!! Not every woman likes to bash her ex husband and call him low down names for his perfidy.
@@TheCollapse410
Actually, it’s kinda more “psycho” to lack very rudimentary listening comprehension skills and then write raging tirades full of erroneous information sprinkled with all-caps words…
Living well is the best revenge. 💗
I'll never be able to comprehend why someone would cheat and destroy their family when they have such a beautiful family. Someone please explain. 😢
@@KittyDillionI agree with you 100%
This will be the case if people both men and women are not yet awakened to the truth of who they really are.
Greed, selfishness, foolish men and women.
Because they are lacking something(s) within themselves. Even happily married people cheat (read that in an article once). I was cheated on and it took me a very long time to realize that, even though I have contributed to the decline in the relationship (always recognize your part in something), when it was all said and done, he was still deeply unhappy. At the end of the day, it wasn't about me but I'm making sure that his cheating was the best thing that ever happened to me because it forced me to be the woman I was always meant to be.
My father taught all of us to cheat. Some of us grew out of it and some didn’t. Our father always told us women weren’t sh and men must hunt. As we got older we made our mistakes. So it’s not always unhappy men who cheat it is a behavior that can be taught.
Someone once said... if we don't heal what hurt us, we'll bleed on those who didn't cut us.
Your healing journey is inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Hugs! 🤗
💛
That’s such a true message I’ve done that all my life hence I’m in my 50’s now & single for 7 years, what a fantastic saying
Wow that was deep
Wow! I absolutely love this comment & ABSOLUTELY 💯 AGREE!!
Great advice.
This video was so awakening for me, I’m 56 and have let my heartache ruin so many years of my life. I’m afraid of people because of the heartache they can cause, it’s so hard to trust and rely on someone.
God bless you all and thank you for this well done beautiful message ❤
I'm 64 and have the same thoughts.
Man will always let us down bc we all struggle with our sin nature. But thankfully there is one who is ALWAYS faithful and heals our hearts with His love ❤️ JESUS!

@@TheCollapse410it’s called woman’s intuition. We know when something’s up. Sorry you don’t have it and call other woman psycho for having it. Hope you never go through cheating and someone don’t come up and call you names. Pretty petty.
@@TheCollapse410 You need to rewatch starting at 7:50 she didn't say that God told her he was cheating and she did find proof on his phone with the two of them texting. So instead of being a complete Asshole and making her out to be something she's not and twisting her words try being a better not bitter human being. I don't understand people like you who feel the need to comment with such negativity apparently you were never taught if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all!! One last thing it is so laughable you called her a Psycho when your response literally made you sound like a complete and utter Psycho!!!
I’m 70 years old and divorced from a cheater. It’s been 24 years since our breakup and I’m so glad to be free of him. It was hard in the beginning. I questioned my self worth and whether I deserved happiness. My faith in God and my family’s love have been my strength and solace. As a mother of 4 daughters, I can attest to the fact that believing in yourself and taking the high road will give you a peace unlike any other. Kristin and Roam will be so much better as a pair than they ever were with her ex. When he is my age, he will see the error of his ways. It happened to my ex and I’ve seen it happen over and over again. He was the weak one who didn’t stand by his family and took the easy way out. Shame on him. He doesn’t deserve Kristin or Roam. Best of luck to you all! Much love!
I have no idea who these ppl are but the display of these women’s friendship is beautiful to see and I was surprised to learn they’ve only met 3 years ago ! From the chemistry I would guess a lifetime 🥺
Love how Roam is being taught to be a strong woman through example! It’s devastating watching a loved one ( my daughter) experience the heartbreak of infidelity, especially when she had just given birth. Women need to band together, support each other and value their worth. 👧💪🏼💪🏼
It's been beautiful to watch how much they both have grown through this all! I'm so sorry to hear your daughter went through that💔 sending her love and healing!
I'm so sad for your daughter.
I think it is evil to abandon someone after they had your baby.
Sending love and healing to your family
@@KelsAndJayI’m soooo glad she had you and other friends to finally lean on & lift her up.
This is how a Sisterhood should be.
Blessings to you all.

Literally no one owes you proof of what they know. You are the psycho. Get a life, Mr entitled.
People make dumb mistakes.
Perhaps the dumbest, in ANY relationship, is cheating.
If someone will cheat with a married person, sooner or later they will also cheat ON that same person. They have no values and cannot be trusted.
LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE.
Yup, if they cheat with you; they'll cheat on you.
Yes, get a clue if you are the one they are cheating with. They will betray you sooner than later.
If the “other person” thinks they are special and wont be cheated on, they are naively living in a fairy tale.
This!!!!!!!
Cheating is not a mistake, it's a choice, you don't mistakenly take your clothes off and fall into another woman's vagina.
What is sickening to me is there is women out there willing to disrespect another woman by sleeping with a married man that also has a beautiful child that is a home wrecker and she is sickening.
Her husband also slept with a married woman.
@@momopfeif4636absolutely! They’re both at equal fault
@momopfeif4636 Yes but that's what the OP said. That there are woman willing to sleep with married men, thus enabling them to cheat.
He’s the homewrecker. Are you slow?
@@blinkypushbuttonsThey both are actually home-wrecker’s. Not only were they obviously
cheating on their own spouses, it was with person(s) that were also in a relationship. Also yes, OP’s comment does come across as one sided, but she didn’t actually say that he wasn’t at fault or not a home-wrecker etc, as I’d assume that would automatically be implied (one would hope). I actually don’t agree when people deliberately put the blame solely on the chick or on the single party that’s involved when someone is cheating either. Takes two to tango 😬
I was cheated on my my ex-wife - it came as a sickening shock... After processing simply that it had happened I began a journey of personal growth that was amongst the best and most wonderful of my life... And at the end when I had come to a place of real peace with myself I met the love of my life.. -- I loved this post mostly because rather oddly it is nice to see someone else growing, healing, and welcoming what comes next - I think it was Lilly Tomlin who said "Forgiveness is giving up all hope of a better past" and I was reminded of this when your friend talked about how for her revenge was not wanting/needing revenge - She is a strong woman and all will be well I am sure - but I will light a candle for her not because she is in trouble but because she is clearly on a path of growth which is always a blessing.. Also Kels and Jay this video was tenderly done, bravo!!
This was so beautiful to read, thank you for sharing Mark!
Cheaters suck
A
What a great quote. Thank you for sharing that.
I love that you have found the love of your life after experiencing and healing from such betrayal.
I love the quote! I was liberated from resentment the day I realized that refusing to forgive was basically just me metaphorically picking the scab; _I_ was the one suffering, _I_ was the one becoming disfigured. Forgiving was just the process of letting go of being the victim (and I don't mean "playing victim;" I've never gotten juiced from that kind of attention. It was about fear and distrust and loss of belief in my ability to discern.) Forgiving is an act of self-love.
I remember the tour of their home, when Roam was born, and Kristin was so happy. Then something happened and they were gone, and I was so sad because I didn’t know if they were ok or not. Had they been hurt in an accident? I’m so happy to see the girls again, and how they’ve grown through this tragedy. What a kick in the gut, followed by a lot of healing for Kristin. Roam is growing into such a beautiful little lady!!! Kristin is an absolutely incredible mamma, and I’m glad she got the support she needs. What an inspiration! My ex husband did the same thing to me 40 years ago, right after I gave birth to my sweet boy, and the other day it hit me again, the wave of despair I felt when I found out. I can relate to Kristin feeling up and down like she described. Thanks for doing such an amazing video and giving us all an update that they’re going to be ok, are ok now. Love to Kristin and Roam. ❤❤❤
I was feeling the same way. So glad Kristin is moving forward and showing her daughter what it is to be a strong women.

@@TheCollapse410 ?? Did you actually watch the video? She saw the messages and caught him. I have no idea where yer coming from .. the whole point is that she's good now and moving forward with a strong sense of self. Nothing better than to lead & teach your child than by example & talking thing through with them.
@@TheCollapse410you missed a lot…God might’ve given her thoughts about it, but the “proof” was in her husbands messages. They don’t even go into the rest of the story. He likely confessed. She says she didn’t want to leave her marriage for just “thoughts” where she might’ve been wrong…
Also she mentions “even if they do stay together” I’m paraphrasing, but it was hinted at that they are together.
You missed a lot, and are doing some crazy name calling.
Are you ok? You sound very angry and bitter yourself. I’m sorry if you have been done wrong also. Maybe take a lesson from her on getting rid of bitterness. I can relate. It happened to me and I had to let it go also or have it ruin mine and my kids lives. I’m so glad I did. I have peace. Bitterness and unforgiveness kills.
Good luck and God bless.
@@TheCollapse410Did you even watch the video?😂😅
Thank you so much for this video. I've checked periodically to see if they were back. My heart goes out to Kristen, she didn't deserve to be cheated on. My respect to her for having the courage to be vulnerable and share her experience with us.
Yes it was obvious when FRANKIE helped him with his project they were so compatible definitely. A great temptation for Wil for Frankie was an amazing person hard on Frankie's Husband as well together they were very compatible and yes so Tragic for Kirsten. A great betrayal!! tears tears tears. Love sometimes has to be let go of so happy she is Healing for nine years a long time and Kirsten so in Love with Wil. Perhaps Frankie was Wil's soulmate we all have to let go and let God. Wil was not a bad person it just happened and Kirsten had a good Nine Years. Love teaches us to Grow i can bet that Wil is still with Frankie. Lets pray Kirsten meets her mate to heal her deep down LOVE HURTS
@@Temarama7I want to see what she looks like. What channel is she on?
Happyhomebodies
@@Temarama7not when you have made a commitment to someone and have a child with them. At that point, it is time to die to self and put others first. I will NEVER repsect a homewrecker and the person who left their family for him or her.
"You can search for answers but sometimes people are just broke and they hurt people with their brokenness" - I wish I had heard that and taken it to heart 35 years ago. Still healing from toxic family. Thank you for sharing. I have no doubt that your story is healing the hearts of others.
My congratulations to Miss Kristen for getting over the pain and putting it all behind her. Carrying pain can be like having a worm eating away at your insides, only making things seem even worse. Stay strong Kristen.
My husband cheated on me and I didn’t find out until he gave me less than two minutes notice before he walked out on me. I had no clue and have been struggling. But watching this has given me some clarity and strength. Thank you
I have zero empathy for those who cheat. It’s a choice and never a mistake that you make. You’re a disgusting and vile person if you do that to someone. 🤷🏻♀️
Or just a coward
Why? Men have more testosterone than women. It in their nature to sick other sexual options even if they are in a relationship. It's only cheating when women do it. Men having sex is different from women's.
Yes!! Totally
I agree, a mistake is a random one-time action that you didn't know would have a bad outcome. Cheating is not a single action, it is a sequence of multiple deliberate actions while having full knowledge of the consequences.
@@whotf888 Also it always requires two to tango. There are always TWO cheaters.
Showing your daughter , and being a peaceful strong mom will carry your daughter into doing the same in her life. Beautiful resilience there mama. ☮
my ex husband cheated on me and when i found out i was baffled and after talking to him realized that while he was ready to be a husband having our son made him feel trapped so i let him go. he kept trying to come back because he said he missed me but he needed room to be him and i needed to feel secure on my own and heal. In the process of our divorce he got another woman pregnant and she had a little girl he didnt stay for her either but strangely her and i set aside those hurt feelings and ended up raising our kids together today she is my best friend and i count her as being one of the best things that have happened in my life we have a beautiful family sadly i live in texas now and her in south carolina but we talk everyday and still very involved in each others life. sometimes its healing to just live and let live.
sounds like utah
And now you know your ex wasn’t meant for either of you, he was simply Gods tool (no pun intended 🤭) to create a family of love, friendship and support that your ex was never able to be for either of you or your kids.
Sounds like Days of our Wives *.* 😢
Sounds really cool, for you & your kids.
That's pretty awesome!
This is the most realistic view on healing from emotional betrayal. Just when you think you might be there, another hill to climb arrives. It takes the time that it takes, we can not speed it up, even if we try. Bless you Kristin, and thank you for sharing the real, raw truth.
My ex-husband cheated on me and broke my heart... I learned that the best "revenge" is for your exes to see you THRIVE withOUT them. For you to live your best life and not give them the time of day. I hate that this happened to her, but I LOVE the message that she has.
And then the next step would be to let it go completely so it doesn't matter anymore what your ex thinks of you.
So thankful I came upon your video. I’m literally going through this exact situation right now. I filed for divorce in January of this year, my son was only 7 months old. It was so difficult to come to terms with not having our family anymore that I stayed and tried to save our family. I needed so much proof. It’s sad that I needed to be mistreated longer in order to come to terms with the person he just is. There’s nothing I can do. My emotions are just the way you explained yours. I haven’t grasped that life will be better, yet but I know I will get there as you did.
I don’t have the close friends and support you do, which I know is huge. But I am a child of God and I know He will be sufficient for me. ❤
Wishing you many happiness with your baby😊🤗stay strong and live life the fullest without someone who doesn't deserve your love.
I'm so sorry you're going through such a painful thing 💔 thinking of you, you will most definitely get there ❤️❤️
You will be ok! I left with nothing & had nothing in my bank ac. Was unemployed for a year. Resilient turned into HOPE. Today, I'm back on track making 6 figures and feel 1000x happier. Hang in there! Remember to be KIND to yourself & not give up!
It sucks that the kids are cheated the most in all these situations
It is sad that you have to be mistreated longer than that, but it is life, and you don’t want to be wrong.
She seems like such an amazing person! I love her attitude. He definitely didn't deserve a gem like her.
I went through a bad divorce but did many of the things you had listed. Today I couldn’t be happier and more whole as a person. I finally feel safe in my home and I live my life to the fullest. I find beauty in others and the world. Best of all I met the love of my life. Yes, life does exist after divorce. Thank you for this video.❤
This made me cry. My husband cheated on me after 13 yrs of marriage. He setup weekend house with her for a yr on weekends while telling me lies about why he had to go out of town 5 hours away. It has broken me
my husband cheated on me 45 years of marriage when i was as tacking care of my Dad when he was dying of cancer. still with him but never ever again it will be the same . 😢
Yeah mine cheated after 22 years. Unfortunately I think this is just the way men are. They don’t have the capacity to truly love.
Pity you never left.@@colleenjoan8072 Your happiness matters more than what have accepted all these ears.
@@sarahalderman3126if someone does something dumb it doesn’t mean they don’t love you
@@sarahalderman3126As a non married man, Im sorry for what your cruel husband did. Cheating has never been ok. I hope to be married someday and grow old together. Sadly with the way modern women are it has become a tad difficult to meet standards. I hope all the cheaters of the world get what’s coming to them, I also hope your hearts can one day be whole again. I lost a girl and it makes me scared to want to try again. 4-6 years single now I think and at 25 times kinda running out. Most good ones are taken by this age. At least I have my doggo ❤
Many of us have been cheated on. Some of us, repeatedly. This is a pain that can be difficult to heal. I appreciate the openness and honesty of this post.
My story started when I was in kindergarten. My parents split and divorced because my dad cheated on my mom. Of course, I was young and never knew any better or what it meant. All I knew was my mom and dad would fight alot. He was very abusive to her. My Mom would drive me and my brother all over town in the car looking for him and she usually found him at the bar. It happened many times. After they split, another woman came into my life. I didn't like her. I didn't like it when she kissed my dad or touched him. I was a little girl like Roamie watching someone do those things that my mom was spose to do with my dad. So, I told her one day, "You're not my mommy! I'm not listening to you. I don't like you." For the next 17 years or so, that was our kind of relationship. We never got along.
As time passed, I barely saw my dad during visitation because he wasn't around much and he would pawn me off onto her or my grandparents and end up at the bar all night. Sometimes he never came to pick me up at all from my mom's. He might call, might not. So many empty promises and alot of tears. Ultimately I became depressed. Just a sad child. Very isolated and lonely. I resented him and my mom, as well as, the other chick.
During all of this, I was experiencing something else that was even more traumatizing. I was being abused by a relative sexually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. No, it was not my dad. I was so traumatized that One day I tried to kill myself bc I just wanted to die. I wanted it all to end, but nobody would listen to me. They didn't believe me. In fact, I was actually blamed. So I intentionally missed my school bus one day and stayed after school and wrote my teacher a letter. She must've found it after I left. My bus driver noticed I didn't get on for the day and came back for me and took me home. The next day, my mom got a call and I was sent to a hospital. I was away from my family and friends for quite some time. It was a bad ordeal.
I'm 41 years old now, but thinking about it today, it's still very raw and emotional. It changed my life a lot in many ways. I'd never wish my nightmare on anybody.
After graduating high school, I started dating. I didn't know what to do because I had never had a boyfriend. When I met my son's dad, I clunge to him for dear life. Idk why. We were off n' on for 5 yrs until we split because he cheated on me, too. One of the girls happened to be a friend of mine from school. I've been single for almost 14 yrs now. I've never been married, but I do have a son who is 17 years old now. He is my only child.
As the years passed by, I have gradually healed, but I deal with PTSD and anxiety. I still have triggers. There will always be wounds with scabs that peel off easily and bleed sometimes, but for the most part, I manage it.
Update:
As for both of my parents, they remarried, but Dad's 2nd marriage ended in divorce because once again he cheated on THAT woman. My stepdad died of cancer in 2014. Both of my parents were married to their spouses for 20 years.
So yes, this story hit me hard...extremely hard, because I have been there. Trust me, I know. Please protect you and Roamie from this nightmare. I would never want anyone to hurt her. Will should have known better. He's spose to protect his daughter from guys like him. I guess, that's where MamaBear comes in and saves the day. I love you all, greatly. Miss you so much. Hugs.
Wow, that is a lot to deal with and at such a young age too. Thank you for sharing, and for feeling comfortable enough to share all of that here. This is always a safe space for you ❤
❤🩹❤❤🩹❤ Thank you for sharing your story.
My heart breaks for you. For myself, I really dug into my Bible hardcore and was healed quickly. It is only to put your faith and lean on God, not other people, ever. Mostly I get angry as I expected better of a very good person. But things are looking so up for me that I really feel he was getting in my way of a great future. It is NEVER to late with the grace of God to start new!
The same thing happened to me. But I was molested by my father then SA as a child and trafficked I tried to commit suicide at 26 and survived and nobody cares.
I am truly sorry that you went thru that. I cant even begin to imagine what that was like. Dont think that someone doesnt care because there are people who do. Especially other victims that have similar stories. We've all been thru similar experiences even if they arent exact. Listen we must not let this kill us. We must not let this ruin the best parts of us. Instead we must use these moments to guide in the right direction so that we can learn and find ways to help others. I find that by helping others, it helps me, and it will help you too. So never give up, utilize what God gave you. Dont give it away because its yours, it belongs to you, and nobody can take that from ya.@@MillennialMountainMama
From a woman wife mother I think you are so brave and to be on social media being raw and honest is gonna help so many women that may go through something like your story 🙏💜🙏
❤ Honeslty wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on this but Kels you wove such a beautiful story of redemption and life after loss. I'm incredibly impressed how you took this very hard topic and made it beautiful. Nicely done.
Thank you for the update, I'd missed their videos.
Being cheated on is the ultimate betrayal and impossible to understand if you haven't experienced it...
I'd been married 21 years when I got confirmation. That was 10 years ago and I've never been happier.
Life truly is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond.
Peace, love, and happiness to you all!
I understand the grief. It was the one feeling I didn’t expect and didn’t know how to process. I was expected to stay married and to me deep inside I felt something had died. I’m glad you mentioned that because I don’t think it’s an expected feeling at all. I eventually divorced but took 15 years to do it and part of me died in that 15 years. It took 10 more to find life again.
When you guys were digging yourselves out of that spot trying to leave the place she first found the messages; all I could think was how symbolic it was of how hard it was for her to leave that part of her life behind, but how necessary it was because that place was so chaotic and problematic!
Yes, a good analogy
I was cheated on by a woman I was seeing. I wrote a letter to her, then burned it in the fireplace while cracking a bottle of champagne. 🎉 She has tried to contact me since, usually when she needs something from me. Good on her for moving on with her dignity intact.
I was devastated when I discovered my husband's infidelity. It's been 20 years since and I still have feelings of anger, regret of a lost life, loss of what I believed to be my best friend. Humiliation of being betrayed, and financially ruined. He ran off with all of our savings.
😢🤗 ❤
I completely, totally, 100% understand. About the same amount of time for me (22 years) And in the last couple of years I began noticing it very seldom comes up...For which I'm very grateful! In my case, he is still with my ex best friend (of 10 years at the time) so it was a double whammy! Blessings and healing to you 💖🤗🙏
Awe my husband died 4 years ago , and I love how she said grieving isn't linear, it really hits home but she's right the downs get less
Same and grief is love unfinished.
Awesome Video Kels! Thank you for sharing Kristin's triumphs through the pain. Time heals all wounds, and they heal faster with support! I am so glad you were there for Kristin! Keep rockin' the videos Kels!
ugh such a dang pleasure to finally meet you both and get to lend a hand! And share a pizza. And chat until the wee hours. Break down near me more often, would ya? 😂🤟
Haha it was such a blast!! Thanks again for saving the day 😊
I love how this community comes out to take care of each other. That was beautiful of you, Gordo. I’m a stranger on the Internet, but your kindness really touched me. I immediately felt very protective of these women and sweet little warrior child…. I was also inspired by Kristin’s fearlessness and ability to reframe a horrible betrayal, into a new and more beautiful life. ❤️
Very well done and wholesome video! Everyone can take a lesson from Kristin's attitude and strength, not to mention that she's a dime plus ninety nine!
“You are ALWAYS BEING LEAD TO SOMEWHERE BETTER!” I’ve never heard it like that. I always say “life happens for me, not to me” but u like your quote better❤❤❤thank you
Kels, Kristin is so blessed to have a friend like you as you are equally blessed to have her! Their channel was the very first skoolie channel I started following when I became obsessed with skoolie life! They have been on my mind for quite some time. Occasionally I would check IG to see if they had posted anything. I'm so sorry this happened to you Kristen, but just look at who you are now! A strong, beautiful, intelligent, independent, woman & mother setting the best example for Roam & surrounded by the most genuine, compassionate, loyal friends! Sometimes we have to weed out our garden in order for it to bloom into it's full potential! Your garden is indeed blooming beautifully! I see a strong, resilient, independent, courageous, woman who chose to overcome what she thought would break her. So proud of you!
Wow. I’m not even 5minutes in and I’m blown away by your vulnerability ❤❤❤❤ I’ve never seen any of your videos before. I’m grateful I stumbled on this gem. These are the videos I absolutely love and appreciate. Raw and real
Tell her it will take time. I am a single dad who raised 3 kids on his own. She needs to realize that not all men or women are going to be like this. My ex wife left me 3 times before I as a Christian man threw in the towel. If anyone reads this, tell her to take her time, and work on herself and the little one. I wish i could find the book that helped me, but she will move on. Just have to learn to watch for the red flags when she gets comfortable to have a relationship. It will hurt from time to time like she has had, even years afterwards there will be triggers and have a support network. Tell keep her chin up and keep on keeping on.
What a great story, beautifully told, a love letter to friendship. I wish Kristen and her daughter all the happiness they deserve, and thank you for making this inspiring video. Well done.
Kels and Jay, your video about the untold story of the family who disappeared from TH-cam is truly touching and inspiring. Your video is beautifully done and resonates deeply with the theme of resilience and support among women. Kudos to you for bringing this story to light in such a thoughtful and meaningful way. 💪❤
Sending many well wishes and prayers to you and your daughter!!! You can do this!!! Bless you both, and thank you to your friends who were really there for you and not just all talk!
A very heartwarming story. Positive attitude for healing.
It takes a giant to admit to brokenness and to publicly admit it it takes a superhero Mom! I'm absolutely astounded at how well you did in this video. You are doing everything perfectly to show your daughter that the both of you deserve to be treated with overwhelming love, because anything less would be unacceptable. Raising the bar for the both of you is teaching your daughter that there are better men in the world who are worth waiting for. God WILL put the right man in your life when He sees fit. Let Him be your guide in ALL things and you'll never go wrong. It's so beautiful to hear you calling on God to help you through the hard times rather than blaming God for the hard times. You are God's daughter and should be treated as such. God will put a Godly man in your life right when you think there's no one. Thank you for showing the world your love and trust in God!
This was an absolutely beautiful vid to watch. From so much pain to contentment and joy. Thank you for being brave and sharing. This will definitely help other broken hearts heal.
OMG I was crying and laughing all the way thru this video! Thank you for being so vulnurable and showing us how to heal with grace and love.
"The best revenge is no longer wanting revenge" is the single best thing ever said about leaving a relationship. May God bless and protect you along your journey 🙏
I really hope they are co parenting healthy for their daughter 🙏 God bless this mama for her strength
Sometimes when things fall apart, they may actually be falling in to place..Trust your gut instincts, they are your guardian angels...Everything happens for a reason..Sending ❤ to kristin from the heart
So glad to see what happened with you guys. So glad you are on a healthy path. Thanks Kels for sharing. ❤
Kels- thank you for sharing this story. I have wondered what happened to them and looked many times to see if I am missing their episodes.
Kristin. Thank you for letting us know you and your precious Roam are safe and now finally happy. I am so very sorry this happened to you. And so angry for you. I am wishing you and Roam the happiest life ever. You deserve it. Miss you much. Xoxo
Kristin is so lucky to have friends that love her and support her. I was cheated on by my ex and I still struggle every day and it’s 4 years later.
I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling❤ her Instagram page (@beachykefer)is filled with comments of people who have gone through similar things. You might find some comfort and support there❤
Love you Kristin! Love you Kels! Made me so happy to see our old bus and footage from traveling together! ❤ can’t wait to see what Roam + Kristin do next!
Love you Jess! Such special memories ❤
Well done Kels!! Thank you for sharing Kristin keep moving forward!! You got this!!!
This was the most amazing video I watched in so long , she’s so strong 💪🏼 and amazing!!! Teaching our daughters to be strong like this is so important , to it fall to pieces when someone rips everything from you!
Men are strange. Who cheats on a beautiful soul like this?
My prayers go out to her and her daughter. May you both get the joys you deserve.
I promise you the ex will regret it, that woman will become his biggest regret in life and that’s the worst thing you can become to a man. Never become someone’s biggest mistake!
Thanks for sharing this. May your friend find all the love and happiness she deserves ❤
Thank you for this video. I never knew what happened. Great that she has such a strong support network
I was 81/2 months pregnant when I found out the father of my unborn child was off sailing for a week with my brother’s live in girlfriend who was also my friend. She did me a huge favor is how I have always looked at it and he died a very painful, slow, miserable death. Karma is real. My daughter is amazing! ❤
Dang that's something I'd like to hear more of that story
@@moosestangls5099 for sure there’s a lot more to it in the end I had to adopt my own biological daughter to keep her safe from him
What an amazing woman. I hope some fabulously good things come her way.
I'm sorry you were hurt so badly, but you're story of courage, growth and love for your daughter and yourself is amazing and beautiful!!! Once I grew beyond the pain of a similar situation, I realized how necessary it was for me to experience what I did, for my own soul growth. Blessings to you and yours and thank you for sharing your story with all of us!!!🤗🙏💫
This helped me so much, going through something very similar and over 50 thinking my life had been complete, it doesn't get easier! But this 17mins of opening up and vulnerability I stumbled across has helped this old guy in ways I can not convey. Thank You!
Thanks for telling this story! You did an excellent job on it.
Glad she’s happy! Even as an audience member, the videos that had that other couple in them made my stomach turn with unease at the time. I knew as an audience member it would be out of line to say or comment anything about it. I gotta admit I felt real guilty even not knowing you at all when the news came out. It is healing to see you happy! You are amazing! Congrats on establishing a working coparenting relationship! Such a badass.
My comment was similar. It was so obvious he was cheating with her
I hope both of you find peace and healing with God. He is there for you and will never leave or betray you. It happened to me and He healed me. Bless you both.
Oh here we go the 'I always knew something was off about them' crew is here.
Trauma can be the biggest catalyst to a self awaking. It’s so hard to see that as your going through it but in the end it can transform your soul and the lessons learned through the pain of that journey are forever. Thanks for sharing your story. ❤
I know there was a certain amount of pain associated with making this video and revisiting the occasions that made the pain real, but … this video was SO HELPFUL for me. I’ve gone through a similar process for similar reasons. I hate that I’m not alone in this, but … I am SO GLAD to learn that I’m not alone. Thank you for releasing this video.
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS STORY!!!!! I've been married and divorced twice, and both were cheating. Prayers for Kristen as she moves forward and finds better things.
Being cheated is like stepping in something that you can't get off of you and you can't stop thinking about it in the beginning! Time heals it, but you never forget that feeling and it kind of numbs you! Both of my marriages ending because of it, I'm in my late 40's now and have pretty much giving up!
don't give up there are plenty of women who value themselves to never sink this low! some of us want to please God above all else and would never even consider it.
That is so kind of you to reply! Too bad I can’t find one of these women you speak of! Lol
best place to find GOOD people i have found is a good church. don't give up!@@whatyouseenow411
Thank you for sharing your healing journey. Broken people hurt people.
This is beautiful…in a heart breaking situation. Your friendship and the beauty and peace that is displayed is truly inspiring. I needed this and it’s truly inspiring and touching. Love to you all.
What a great video. The conversations, the vulnerability…thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for being here ❤
WOW! I’ve missed you Kristin & Roam, stay strong girl. Hope to see you soon…….
Im so sorry Kristen had to experience so much pain, but so proud of how classy she got through it. I hope this means we'll be seeing you and Roam back in rotation on YT again. ❤ And Kels and Alyssa....you are true friends indeed. I wish i had a friend like any of you ladies.
Thank you for this video. I did 6 months with my dog in my very old Suburban in 2020. After a really scary trip home with multiple mechanical issues, I limped it into my parents' driveway. And I have been afraid to go again since.
Breaking down and getting stuck is part of the adventure.
I know it is what is best for me, and this video has helped me remember some reasons why. Thank you so much!
This was absolutely beautiful, I’ve been following Kristen on IG, so I knew why they left TH-cam but I hadn’t heard the full story like this. I’m so proud of her and little Roam, she is definitely a strong woman and her daughter is going to grow up to be a strong woman also❤️❤️. I cried like a baby through this whole video….happy tears☺️
❤❤❤
This video does such a great job of showing a strong example for everyone. Life gives you lemons, so make lemonade.
It was so nice to see you and Rome. Stay strong, and take it one day at a time.
Wonderful words you have shared. I have been single for thirty years now and the lessons for my daughters (who were 18 and 20 at the time) were the most important to me. Your daughter is blessed to have a joyful mother on this journey.
Kels, thank you for taking the time to share this story. I wondered what happened to them, I followed them, just like I have followed you and Jay, then they just vanished. You are a very dear friend for doing this, Kristin is a strong woman for allowing you to share this story, You always have a way of telling a story, just something about that way you tell it keeps everyones attention. I wish Kristin and Roam the best....having friends like you and Jay is exactly what they need in their lives right now. Again, thank you again for sharing, it's sad, but Kristin is definitely the "winner" in all this.
Thank you for the kind words! I think she's extremely brave for sharing her story. She's already helped so many people going through something similar and I'm so grateful I get to call her my good friend ❤
This should’ve come with a trigger warning. I cried my eyes out through the entire video. Some were tears of empathy, the familiar pain of betrayal and loss. Some were for your child. Some were for you and what should’ve been. And some were tears of joy. You seeing your worth and not settling. Watching your healing process is very therapeutic. Thanks for being an open book and sharing freely.
I had somehow found and followed you on insta previously and was inspired. But this video really touched a deep part of my soul.
Glad you went inside and healed. Although it hurts sometimes people leave your life. This pushes you to heal and learn the lesson needed to move ahead.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that but you’re stronger because of it. Speaking from experience, I believe the worst part is the self-doubt. That’s something hard to deal with. It’s great to see you’ve come out on the other side!!
Thank you for this vid. I had a very strong and emotional reaction to this one. I lost the best, most intimate relationship I've ever been a part of at the start of the virus years and I think now, because of the isolation I became lost in the grief. Since then I've retired and moved into a camper van to travel about with my little sled dog for a couple years or more. This totally different lifestyle has let me revisit my grief on both a deeper level, and to let go also on a much deeper level. Having good support is something that we can not use because we try to deny our need for it. My judgmentalism thinks I should not "have to" grieve or let go of the past and the hurt in favor of allowing myself to live in all the great memories of that period of my life. There's lots of healing out in the world, as if the world is conspiring to help us have a chance to experience the bounty of this world and its people!! Thanks for the slightly different perspective! I love you guys for all you give and all you do, as you live your best life together! Thanks to your friends for sharing their growth, and their joy! I know that today, I was finally able to see the whole thing at one time from beginning to end and really enjoy it. I know today will be a great day to be appreciated and not ignored! ❤
I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, it's never easy ❤Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you were able to connect with this video and that it's helped you. That was my intention in creating it, and kristin's intention in sharing everything she has been through so that makes me really happy. Wishing you all the best on your continued healing!
I could sit down with you both and talk for hours! I’m divorced since 06 and if I teach my kids anything I hope it’s independence . The best revenge is not needing them-in any way! I’m 53 and still learning-my story is a bit different because I have 3 kids and none of them are typical. Looooong story. But great vid!
This was a very beautiful and brave video. Thank you for sharing ladies !!!! Best of luck in your future.
I’m happy Kristin has a wonderful support system of friends like you! I’ve missed seeing them on their travels, and seeing Roam again happily traveling with mom was so sweet. Thank you for this update. I wondered what happened when they disappeared, and now we know, and I’m relieved to see she’s doing well 🧡
Love that there is healing happening and her greatest revenge was letting go. It took me a long time to get to the let it go stage from my abusive ex husband. I now have a new happy family and I found peace.😊
Thank you for sharing your story. I've been divorced since 2013, and while I did try to move on, I haven't really been able to open myself up to new people. I kinda blocked everyone out, except my kids cause I felt it would be easier then getting hurt again. This made me realize maybe I don't have to lone wolf it anymore. I've been alone a long time and I don't know where to even start but I'm not closed to the idea of letting someone in anymore.
This just popped up in my feed . I am so glad it did. This was a sad but beautiful at tge same time. Thank you for sharing!!!
Absolutely beautiful !!! Precious sharing your heart!!! Our dependence for happiness is not based on another person making us happy. 😊❤️🙏
I absolutely resonate with this story, I too, am a survivor of a cheating husband with my own sister, he thought the grass was greener on the other side 🙄 he regretted this and I didn't take him back, as I knew I deserved better I totally understand the anxiety with being a single parent and questioning your self worth. But with God and prayer he pulled through my darkest moments and my life since that moment has been nothing but blessings 🙏🙌 My kids were 7yr & 12yr when we seperated, now they're 22 & 27 fully grown independent beautiful human beings. And your right about teaching your kids strength and resilience and being of a good example for them and I never spoke I'll of my ex (even when I wanted to let loose) but it's a waste of air to speak of him, but also, at the end of the day it's still their dad. There is light at the end of the tunnel and life absolutely gets better 😍especially when you surround yourself around positive pple and learn to em race your self worth. 🙌😍
I LOVE YOU KRISTEN! I (Lana) did some research after wondering where you went awhile back and found your story by a friend on tic toc. I was shocked. I was mad. I felt for you... I did feel like in the last few videos he seemed kind of distant. What a dip s***. I stayed with my ex way too long, and I give you props for walking away because it is so hard. I finally found my happiness after leaving that bad marriage. So glad to see you and Rome doing well 😊 Much love from a fellow bus lifer ❤
I absolutely love the theme of this video. No explanation of the cheating needed, just moving on and embracing the next chapter as best you can. Well done!
Kels thank you for sharing this ! It was like someone just hit a switch and they were gone, Number Juan bus was the first video I had seen that dealt with your chosen lifestyle.And since then I'm addic5ed to it, so much so that it will be what I do down the road ! She just needs to know that there are so many great guys out there and her and her beautiful soul will find that right one some day ! And Roam is growing so fast ,,And im so looking forward to yours and Jay's next adventure . Its funny how from just watching these videos how attached I get to all of you ! And this has helped me through the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with when I lost both of my parents within a couple of months of each other , so thanks to all of you ! Much love and as always , Cant wait to see the next one !
You know its weird .... You follow Couple's builds, to the point you feel a certain closeness to them. Its like a TV show that you can't wait for the next weeks episode! Sometimes there's even a Climactic moment, when the Comment You Posts, gets a personal and sentimental reply from them. But..... Then everything goes Silent, a long pause, then total Absences .....And You're left wondering, What Happened!? I can tell You what Happened, LIFE happened. I now Know of 4 Beautiful Couples that (I Followed,) that have split since starting their Bus builds. Good Luck to all of You. and may you find Peace and Happiness in the rest of Your Journey, God Bless
I know Kristin was really sad she never got the chance to say bye on their old channel. It was deleted before she could. We figured this was the next best thing as we had a big crossover in audience, and maybe one day in the future she'll start a new channel so whoever wants to can continue to follow along. Thank you for your kind words!
Betrayal is such a devastating experience. I lean on Jesus, my family and friends. Focused on getting myself and more importantly my son’s! Hang in there! Prayers go out to you!
What a beautiful trip. Beautiful friendships with beautiful people!! She seems like such a genuine and beautiful person inside and out. I wish the best for all of you!!
Up and coming YT super start... absolutely my favorite video you've made.. The effort put in to this is unreal.
