Caller Candace's Question: "I really loved your podcast recently about being dishonest in our relationships! You articulated exactly what I have been feeling is happening in our relationship but couldn’t find the words to express that dynamic. What we struggle with in our relationship on my end, is being dishonest about the way I really feel. Or the impact his addiction has caused in our relationship. When I do bring it up, he struggles with a shame spiral or says “ you always bring this up, I can’t ever move past this. I feel like we’re both treading lightly....."

He's been sober from a life of drugs for 3 yrs but I think been fully convinced that it's my fault he can't live his new sober life in freedom doing what he loves to do with all these boundaries and control. I'm making him miserable and he hates recovery. I'm torn and lost....."
