Rescue Your Family--The Book!

Friends,

I'm so pleased to announce the release of my latest book, Rescue Your Family. I may have mentioned before that I'm an author of young adult fiction. My collection of published books can be found on my web site, www.juliemusil.com.

This latest book is unique for me, as it's non-fiction. It's my own deeply personal story that you've read on this blog.

It's been many months since I've posted here. During that time we sold our old home, moved in with my sister, then bought our new home and settled in. All while continuing to lead and direct three of the finest people I know--my sons. It's been quite a year.

With my latest book release comes a whole lot of hope--hope that you or someone you know will be blessed by it. Hope that it'll find its way into the hands of the spouse who's hurting and confused. Hope that it'll reach someone who's on the fence about leaving their family, and persuade them to stay and rescue what seems lost.

Won't you help me help others? Share the book. Share my story. Share the hope.

Genesis of "Rescue Your Family"

Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. My marriage story began when I met my husband in the snack line in middle school. We started dating three years later, when I was a sophomore in high school and he was a senior. During our “middle” he became a firefighter, we got married, built a home together, and raised three sons. Our ending is still being written.

Out of respect for my husband, I’ll keep most details of our situation private. But I’ll tell you this: several years ago my husband’s heart turned away from me. Two years ago he moved out of our home, leaving our sons and me dizzy with confusion, grief, and despair.

Since that time, I’ve been on a wild, painful, and surprisingly beautiful journey. As I’ve traveled this journey, I’ve heard story after story of first respoders’ families fracturing and falling apart. Firefighters leaving their wives, firefighters’ wives having affairs, another police officer or sheriff filing for divorce, military couples drifting apart. Why?

I’m not an expert on statistics, and I’m not a therapist. I’m simply a firefighter’s wife with a voice and a longing to see families restored. This blog was formed out of my deep desire to help other first responders and their families hold it together.

Why the title, “Rescue Your Family?”

First responders have a calling. Their jobs are extraordinarey. They go to work and see things and do things the rest of us can’t imagine. They rescue others. My goal is for first responders to not only rescue others, but to be willing to rescue their own families.

In the coming posts, I’ll share with you what I’ve learned along the way. I’ll share resources. I’ll encourage you and offer hope. But in the meantime, know this:

If you’ve felt your relationship unraveling and you’re powerless to stop it, I understand.

If you’ve felt lost and alone, I understand.

If you’ve felt unloveable, worthless, and deeply flawed, I understand.

If you’ve felt responsible for every single thing wrong with your relationship, I understand.

If you’ve felt as if every relationship around you is thriving except yours, I understand.

If you’ve felt bitter and angry, I understand.

If you’ve felt confused and scared, I understand.

This blog is not just for first responders and their families; it’s for anyone who needs it. It will not be a place of anger. It’ll be a place where we can offer support, encouragement, and ultimately, healing. I welcome you to come back often.

Until next time...
