Planning to divorce an addicted spouse?
This episode will address addiction itself including what it is and
its tell-tale signs. Listening will give you the opportunity to
learn from two brave women who got the courage to do it and
understand what feelings you should expect now that you are
splitting for good. You will also learn some of the steps you can
take to feel supported and protected to keep you moving in a
positive direction.
KEY POINTS:
- Break out of denial and accept what is.
- Is divorce is the right decision? Ways to work past the guilt of
abandoning your spouse, and how to handle anger and resentment from
your spouse.
Hear why it was so darned hard to leave. Listen to how they let go
and began a life no longer having to "change" him or her.
- Why joining groups like Al-Anon and surrounding yourself with
those who understand are necessary to keep you moving in a positive
direction.
