Ep 30 How Did It Get This Bad? Setting Boundaries In An Alcoholic Marriage Broke My Heart!

There’s a specific kind of heartbreak that comes when you realize the life you dreamed of isn’t the life you’re living—and that setting a boundary might be the only way to protect your peace, your children, or your sanity.

In this deeply personal episode, I share my own experience of grieving what I thought family life would look like—and the painful but necessary process of accepting that I had to set boundaries in an addicted marriage in order to stay grounded in reality, not fantasy.

You’ll hear:

  • The emotional weight that comes before setting a boundary

  • What it’s like to pray and wrestle with God before taking action

  • How it feels to be forced into choices you never wanted to make

  • The internal tug-of-war between loyalty to your marriage and protecting your children

If you’ve ever asked, “How did it get this bad?” or “Why do I have to be the one to draw the line?”—this episode is for you.
