Hi, it's Andrea, and we are re-releasing some of our past weekly episodes, and there's a good reason why.

For the last year, I have been working with ABC on turning some of your favorite episodes of Betrayal Weekly into a TV show.

The show is called Betrayal Secrets and Lies, and it airs every Sunday at 10 p.m.

on ABC.

This week, we are re-releasing Danielle's story.

You may have heard Danielle's story before, or you may be new to her story.

A little bit about Danielle.

I absolutely adore her.

People always ask me when I tell them what I do, how do these people not know?

And I'm always protective of my storytellers when I hear that.

Danielle's story is such a clear example of what we call betrayal blindness.

You don't assume the worst about the person you love.

You assume they're going to work every day.

You assume your life is what it appears to be.

You don't assume they have a dungeon.

And while all of that was happening, Danielle was raising six kids, homeschooling them, running a household, showing up every single day trying to be the best mom and partner she could be.

When I was catching up with her recently, her new husband kept popping in and checking in on her as she was talking to me.

Just these small tender moments, making sure she was okay, it struck me how different that kind of love feels.
