Addiction and the Emotional Cost on a Spouse
Aug 10, 2022“Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.“
Sun Tzu
Addiction can have drastic effects on a marriage/partnership. Finding out your spouse is abusing drugs/alcohol behind your back equals the pain of infidelity. In a sense, it is the same. The lying, sneaking around, and deception are almost identical. When the situation comes to light, there will be tears, anger, pain, and uncertainty about the future. Sitting in this pain and doubt can be the downfall of the relationship, so it is incredibly important to put on your game face and come up with a strategy for how to move forward.
There is only one person in this world that you can change – and that’s you. Self-care is essential for the loved ones of this suffering from an addiction. It allows you to keep the focus on yourself while working on your own behaviors, health, and actions. Taking care of yourself will give you the strength you may have never known existed within you.
