Woman Srrounded by Addicted Man
from America Recovers
Marnie was seven when her mother's addiction took her away. Now her older brother has lost his job and his grip. Her younger brother is dying of cancer. And her father—the one she had a child with—is deep in addiction. She's isolated, grieving, setting boundaries, and watching the people she loves disappear into the same trap that took her childhood. Brad and Mackenzie offer her the Family Class—the tools to protect herself while staying tethered to people in crisis. She can't take it now. They offer her brother Doug an assessment too. But the real thing they're showing her is this: addiction doesn't hit one person—it radiates outward, destroying everyone in the orbit. Marnie's learning what generational addiction actually costs, and what it takes to survive it without losing yourself.
