The holidays can get messy when unspoken issues come to light. In this episode of Till the Wheels Fall Off, we dive into the complexities of accountability during the holiday season. When a spouse or partner’s actions have rippled out and hurt family or friends, how do you navigate the awkward tension?

Matt shares actionable advice for those on the recovering side of addiction, urging them to take ownership and repair the damage they've caused—no matter how difficult it feels. Paige provides insight for partners who find themselves caught in the middle, carrying the burden of smoothing things over. Together, they explore what true accountability looks like, why it's essential, and how partners can protect themselves if accountability never comes.

Plus, they discuss why shame can be a powerful driver for change and challenge the illusion of loyalty when enabling becomes mistaken for support. If you're facing difficult family dynamics this holiday season, this episode offers clarity, validation, and steps forward—whether together or alone.
