I refuse to own someone else's choices, but my healing doesn't end there. I went deeper because I know owning his addiction or not owning his addiction wasn't enough. I knew I had responsibility for my own choices: the yelling, the blaming, the threatening to leave, but always returning.
Michelle Anderson, the voice behind 'Love Over Addiction', takes listeners on a raw and honest journey through her past marriage to an alcoholic husband. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the age-old saying, 'there are two sides to every story', and how it applies to relationships marred by addiction. Michelle doesn't shy away from the tough questions: Did she have any role in her husband's drinking? Was she to blame for his hurtful actions?
Through deep self-reflection, Michelle comes to some profound realizations. She learns to separate her husband's choices from her own and takes responsibility for her actions—like the yelling and the threats to leave that she never followed through on. But why did she stay in such a painful situation? Michelle breaks down the four reasons that kept her in the marriage, including the fear of upsetting others and a misplaced sense of importance.
Her story is one of self-discovery, growth, and ultimately, empowerment. If you're seeking a mix of empathy, real talk, and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
