What To Do When We Feel Overwhelmed

When I was married to a good man who suffered from addiction, I was terrified of leaving him. I thought about leaving all the time; I think part of me always knew, we would end up in divorce, but the idea of actually leaving paralyzed me with fear. There were times I was so upset I would try to will myself to leave, but for many reasons, I was always unable to walk away from a very unhealthy relationship. I thought, "Am I stuck in this marriage forever? Do I really have the courage to take my kids and leave?" https://michelleanderson.substack.com/
