Balancing Love and Recovery: Insights from Matt & Paige Robinson

I was not aware. We bought into this whole disease model thing. I was like really well i mean i kind of looked at you i was like well no i mean about the behaviors the abuse oh okay okay like let's forget about that stuff right i was like okay i came out of treatment i'm like you good are we good we're good right okay let's move on yeah that's how it went yeah i knew one day i would have to make amends to you for lying for spending money we didn't have for really that was that was basically it for lying taking money that we didn't have for being dishonest about things but i didn't even know what gaslighting was right i didn't realize i was even doing that right i was doing it but yeah i didn't realize what invalidating someone's emotions was i didn't know what that even looked like i had no clue what any of that stuff was so you probably don't either but just trust me that this stuff happened if you're listening this stuff took place so i'm not a saint like i didn't realize how bad my actions had truly affected my wife i knew on the surface level like i lied lied. We didn't have, I'd done a lot of things that were bad, but moving forward early on, I think was really necessary in some ways.
