In this episode, we talk with a guest who opens up about the quiet, painful, and often invisible process of leaving a long-term relationship with someone struggling with addiction. This is not a story of one big moment. It’s about years of internal conflict, emotional detachment, financial planning, and facing the truth that love alone wasn't going to fix it.

She shares what it felt like to carry the weight of the home, raise children in chaos, and slowly lose pieces of herself while hoping things would change. When nothing did, she stopped hoping and started preparing. This conversation is a powerful reminder that even when it looks fine on the outside, there can be a storm raging within.

If you're stuck in the cycle of waiting, wondering, or trying to convince yourself it's not that bad, this one is for you.
