We bludgeon people with the codependent word, we take out of consideration the fact that it's a loving natural instinct and it's actually an admirable quality to care about your family and want the best for them.
Ever felt like loving someone with an addiction puts you under a microscope? In this episode of the 'Untoxicated Podcast', Sheri and Matt Salis sit down with Dawn to talk about the heavy burden of being labeled 'codependent'. Dawn opens up about the pain and blame that come with this label, sharing how it affected her emotionally and mentally. She dives into her journey of setting boundaries and finding independence, regardless of the outcome of her marriage.
Dawn's story is a powerful reminder that healing isn't just for those with addiction but also for those who love them. She discusses her struggles with forgiveness and the importance of self-care, two elements often overshadowed by the chaos of addiction. The episode also touches on the role of support groups like Al-Anon, highlighting their benefits and limitations.
With candid conversations about couples counseling and the tricky topic of replacing alcohol with marijuana, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the complexities of relationships impacted by addiction. If you're looking for insights and practical advice on navigating these turbulent waters, this episode is a must-listen.
