This chapter describes how persistent problems like addiction or chronic illness can corrupt relationships by creating a destructive cycle where the problem itself takes control, leading both partners to lose their individual selves—one becoming consumed by accommodating the problem's demands while the other becomes possessed by it, until the problem runs the relationship instead of the people in it. The Reflective Eclectic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. The Road to Reconciliation describes a path towards healing and potential forgiveness for anyone in a relationship affected by selfishness, violence, abuse, addiction, or betrayal. It guides the reader (or podcast listener) on how to assess the damage done and recognize codependency and vindictiveness, blocking the way from injury to peace. It gives pragmatic advice on how to help you find safety, assert needs, apologize, make amends, and promote change. You're currently a free subscriber to The Reflective Eclectic.
