Trusting the Silent Alarm
from The 12th Step Podcast Hosted by 12th Step Podcast
In the final installment of our series, we focus on a piece of our listener's story that so many partners experience: the agonizing "gut feel." From questioning her own sanity to contemplating staying behind in secret just to verify her instincts, "Broken Wife" describes the mental toll of sensing a double life before having any proof. The 12th Step team discusses how addiction relies on secrecy, why partners often end up gaslighting themselves, and how addicts maintain the high-wire act of compartmentalization while their partner’s silent alarms are going off.
