Loving a Person who Abuses Substances

1 minute Denise Capurso Written by Denise Capurso Published 04/11/23

Do you have a partner, spouse or family member in your life who is abusing substances? Often times this is a “secret” or the elephant in the room that no one discusses. Why? Usually because the loved one becomes defensive, manipulative and /or abusive. The discussion quickly gets out of control and everyone is thrown off balance; in a worse place then they started.

Does this resonate with you? Do you vasilate between love and anger? Do you feel that you are walking on eggshells to keep the peace or you fear being cut out of their lives? Has this has become your normal, everyday state of mind. 

You can find a place of peace and ease. I can assist you in setting loving boundaries and positive communication. Reach out to me if you need support!
