You’ve said it. Maybe weekly.
 “He’s just stressed.”
 “He only acts like this when he’s drinking.”
 “That's just how they were raised.”

But here’s the truth: just because you’ve gotten used to it… doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

In this episode, Paige breaks down the quiet ways we minimize emotional abuse and excuse hurtful behavior—especially in relationships shaped by addiction, trauma, or chaos. You’ll learn to recognize the red flags hiding in everyday phrases, understand why your nervous system is drawn to dysfunction, and hear why waiting for something “worse” to happen is one of the most heartbreaking traps of all.

This is your wake-up call—delivered with love, truth, and zero shame.

You’re not too sensitive. You’re not asking for too much. You’re just done pretending it’s fine.
