Trying to parent with someone in Active Alcoholism is nearly impossible! Ask me! I did it for years and even the best mama can get so overwhelmed by….. Gaslighting. Minimization. Confusion. Frustration. Anger.

In the depths of your husband’s addiction have you ever felt paralyzed trying to plan and schedule life with kids  because your husband refuses to commit or follow through?

In this episode, we’ll explore the heartbreak of unilateral parenting with an alcoholic husband.

Single-Married Parent: Can you relate to the description below?

A devoted wife and mother striving to balance her children’s needs with her heartfelt desire to co-parent alongside her husband. However, his ongoing battle with alcoholism continually places her in the painful position of shouldering the weight of parenting decisions alone—ultimately ensuring the stability, safety, and well-being her children deserve.
