Fair warning—today’s stories are heavy. In one, our writer opens up about the struggle of dealing with a parent’s addiction and the difficult question: How do you help someone who doesn’t want help? In the other, our girl is juggling a lot, but things take an unexpected turn when her husband makes a major decision without consulting her. What do you do when you feel completely left out of the conversation? Tune in as we dive into these tough situations and explore the complexities that come with them.Thanks to our Sponsors: Practice love every day with Paired, the #1 app for couples.
