28: Struggling with Alcoholism While Divorcing an Abuser

Danielle shares what it was like to live in an abusive marriage while silently battling depression, alcoholism, and the pressures of motherhood. During the Covid pandemic, she was raising her children, working from home, and struggling from alcoholism. In this episode, we talk about the emotional toll of high-functioning addiction, domestic violence, and what it means to live in survival mode for so long that it starts to feel normal. Danielle opens up about the moment she knew she had to leave, the guilt that followed, and the process of starting over—for herself and for her kids. SAMHSA National Helpline 1-800-662-HELP (4357)The National Domestic Violence Hotline 800-799-SAFE or Text “START” to 88788 Beyond the Monsters Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/beyondthemonsters/https://linktr.ee/BeyondtheMonsters *Disclaimer: The content shared on this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
