Brilliant woman. Deep & meaningful. Thankyou Kathleen. V real visceral process of getting free from toxicity. Yr smile is proof of yr power as a person come into their own. No longer door mat for ‘love’ as a fixer. Been there done that..& the only thing one is left with is this unbelievable person one becomes/ one is. All that energy to save another , deflecting from yrself, but hey presto , yr the hero. Yr here & they’re gone. ( talking from my personal experience in an addict marriage / infidelity etc.

Easy to see that she laments the loss of all the perks and benefits and the ability to have access to millions of dollars in stolen money that she and her girls were not responsible for the theft. She could care less about him she just misses the lifestyle. She's very sweet girl she learned a lot about her own moral stances on social issues. But I would say there is a 75% chance she would remarry into the prestige and the money if he asked her to.

Insightful, candid, informative, and encouraging interview, thanks Maria. I haven't read Kathleen''s book, but as an educator and NAMI member (my mom was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 52 years ago) who's taken a Dr. Amen workshop on this topic and follow his work with brain illnesses and disorders including substance use disorder, I hope you do more coverage on addictions. Unfortunately: The old AA and Alanon jargon including "codependent" can be significantly less helpful when we realize that whenever a friend or relative gets sick --- from cancer to substance use disorder --- we moms, grandmothers, wives, and sisters tend to "pull out the stops" to ensure their survival. Naturally! We're the nuturers. The problem with supporting the recovery and treatments of substance use disordered loved ones is that the self-sacrificing necessary to attend to that loved one --- versus for example an Alzheimer or heart-diseased loved one --- does not have a more clear-cut time line and does have a social stigma --- which are some reasons why there are more toxic relationships involved with attending to substance use disordered loved ones. Per Dr. Amen, treating substance use disorders are, arguably, more clinically complicated that other brain illnesses. Thank goodness that the social stigma around sharing the journey of a loved one in recovery (or not) has finally decreased in more recent years with COVID, etc. For example: I was just chatting today with someone about a middle-aged son's liver disease, which was actually the result of decades of active alcoholism. As we shared tips to use going forward (e.g., ensuring that he protect his own financial, social, and emotional health), I felt his relief at being able to share this journey. 100 years ago cancer had stigma, fear, and ignorance attached to it. Rignt now: We need to shift the narrative about mental illnesses like substance use disorder to BRAIN ILLNESS DISORDERS, per Dr. Amen, to clarify that in many ways caring for these loved ones mirrors the healthy rules of caring for dear ones with physical illnesses like cancer: You cannot support anyone who has demonstrated that they are committed to healing unless you are working together with their treatment team AND have committed to and communicated that your health must come first.

Money and prestige.... women will do almost anything for those two things. Love is a distant 2nd.
