I've tried to make alcohol the villain of the story, but that disrupts the narrative that he's very invested in.
In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, hosts Sheri and Matt Salis delve into the complexities of parental decision-making while navigating the turbulent waters of addiction. Sheri reflects on her experiences during Matt's active addiction, emphasizing the challenges she faced in making major parenting decisions without cutting Matt off entirely. The couple shares their story, highlighting the stress and anxiety associated with raising children amidst the chaos of addiction.
A central theme of the discussion is the question of when it becomes necessary for the non-addicted partner to make unilateral parenting decisions. Sheri and Matt explore the dynamics that lead to a partner being cut off from parental decisions and the crucial steps needed to re-engage in recovery and regain trust. They highlight the emotional toll on both partners and the importance of maintaining open communication to navigate these challenges.
Sheri and Matt are eager to hear from their listeners, inviting them to share their experiences and insights on the Untoxicated Podcast website or via email. They are particularly interested in understanding how listeners have managed the transition from unilateral decision-making back to shared responsibility, especially after years of being the sole decision-maker. Throughout the episode, Sheri and Matt's candid conversation offers a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of living with addiction in a family setting.
They stress the importance of community and support in recovery, encouraging listeners to explore resources like the Echoes of Recovery group and the Shout Sobriety program. Sheri and Matt conclude the episode with a hopeful outlook, expressing gratitude for the lessons learned and the growth achieved. They emphasize that the journey to sobriety and healing is ongoing and invite listeners to join them in exploring the path forward.
