Fan Mail
I can not express my gratitude enough for this podcast. Every. single. word. Is exactly what I am experiencing. I have shared it with all of my support team while going through my separation decisioning. It has helped them understand my back and forth pull. I am leaving an emotionally abusive, manipulating, alcoholic that abruptly went sober and started therapy the moment I discovered his infidelity and said I was done. I listen to this podcast first thing in the morning each day to remind myself the front he puts on right now is not genuine change. We are still in the same home with the kids so the lines get blurred several times a day. Again, thank you so much for sharing this knowledge and insight.
