About this episode
On this week’s Bestie Advice segment, we respond to an anonymous listener navigating the reality of a long-term partner struggling with alcoholism, aggression, and unpredictable moods while raising two children. We talk about the emotional toll of walking on eggshells, overcompensating to keep the peace, and the difficult line between supporting someone and protecting yourself and your family. This conversation explores what you can and cannot control, when responsibility has to shift back onto the person who needs help, and why emotional safety in a home is non-negotiable.
