I think you can love somebody and be with somebody without trying to manage their issues.
Imagine being married to someone battling alcoholism, and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with it. In this gripping episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', host Sean Dustin talks with Denise Bernardini, who opens up about her life with an alcoholic spouse. Denise shares the raw and honest truth about the blame, guilt, and heartache she faced.
She delves into how she initially blamed her husband for their marital problems, only to realize that both partners often play a role in such complex issues. Yet, her story is not just about struggle; it's about finding light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Denise celebrates her ex-husband's long-term sobriety and discusses their improved relationship post-divorce.
She also reflects on those fleeting moments when you see the person you fell in love with, only to have them overshadowed by destructive behaviors. From manipulation and blackmail to dealing with a gaslighting partner while grieving family losses, Denise's journey is nothing short of harrowing. But it's also one of resilience.
She talks about the immense stress of property battles and financial burdens, and how she managed to find her way out of what seemed like an endless maze of abuse.
