Leaving a relationship with a partner struggling with addiction and mental illness is one of the hardest choices you can make.

This video explores the reality of choosing yourself when a loved one is in crisis. I share my personal experience of recognizing when staying meant losing my own life, and why walking away was the only way to survive. We cover the heavy emotional toll of trying to save someone who cannot save themselves, and the grief that follows when that partner eventually takes their own life.

If you are currently setting boundaries or considering leaving a relationship because of a partner's mental illness or substance abuse, this conversation offers perspective on the guilt and clarity that comes with prioritizing your own safety. We discuss why you are not responsible for someone else's choices and how to begin the process of healing after the relationship ends.
