Who Owns the Problem?

When persistent problems like addiction or mental health issues enter a relationship, they don't just affect the person who has them—they systematically take both partners hostage by demanding all attention and energy, transforming loving partners into either enablers or victims who lose their autonomy, choices, and sense of self.

The Reflective Eclectic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

The Road to Reconciliation describes a path towards healing and potential forgiveness for anyone in a relationship affected by selfishness, violence, abuse, addiction, or betrayal. It guides the reader (or podcast listener) on how to assess the damage done and recognize codependency and vindictiveness, blocking the way from injury to peace. It gives pragmatic advice on how to help you find safety, assert needs, apologize, make amends, and promote change.
