Rob and Tami answer questions about when it makes sense to keep fighting for a relationship with your addict vs. walking away for good. It can be a hard journey filled with grief, but you have every right to be angry and upset about the betrayal they’ve done to you. In this week’s episode, your hosts discuss how you can best manage this pain.
