How do we overcome?

One of my dear sweet friends has fallen victim to the wrath of the "husband's betrayal".  After enduring much lying and cheating, the up and down of emotional turmoil and the pain of being disrespected and intentionally hurt, she is trying to move forward.  During this process, time and time again, she agrees to work together with him in the best interest of the children.  Time and time again, he lies to her and deceives her without the best interest of the children in mind.  He continues to lie, deceive and humiliate her.  How does one overcome such pain?
Take 5 minutes and think about this.......................now imagine (perhaps you have already experienced this) the woman scorned.  From the outside and not knowing all the details of what has taken place, we see her reactions to the adulterer's deception.  Society's paradigm (there's that word again) is that she is a nasty, selfish, spoiled bitch who is out to get her husband for all she can get.  The neighbors do not know that he cheated on her numerous times and continues to cheat on her, lies to her and their children daily, and has communicated that it is he who is in pain as he is starving for love and attention.
How does one not react negatively to such intentional pain, humiliation and disrespect?  How does one move forward positively after such betrayal?  How do we overcome?
