If your loved one is old enough to put a bottle into their mouths, purchase drugs, drive a vehicle, they are old enough to quit their addictions.
Ever feel like you're more of a parent than a partner to your loved one struggling with addiction? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', Michelle Anderson tackles the tricky dynamics that often emerge when someone you care about is battling addiction. It's easy to slip into roles you never imagined, like reminding them of appointments, picking up their laundry, or even making all their meals.
But here's the kicker: these well-intentioned actions might be doing more harm than good. Michelle opens up about her own experiences and shares practical advice on how to stop enabling and start setting healthy boundaries. She emphasizes the importance of treating your partner like an adult, rather than a child, to foster a more balanced and supportive relationship. If you're ready to reclaim your energy and focus it on positive change, this episode is a must-listen.
