In the podcast episode titled 'Should We Leave?', Michelle Anderson tackles one of the toughest questions faced by those loving someone with an addiction. It's a question that many women grapple with: should I leave my partner? Michelle reassures her audience that contemplating this decision is perfectly normal and not something to be ashamed of. She encourages focusing on self-care and healing, rather than making an immediate decision about leaving or staying.
