Addiction is not just an individual struggle; it's a family disease that quietly reshapes the entire system. Change starts with the courage of one person. When one person learns how to respond differently, the whole system can change. When I found myself married to a problem drinker, I did everything I knew how to do. I prayed harder. I loved more. I did whatever it took to hold the family together. I remained isolated, exhausted, and unseen. Not because I lacked faith or love, but because no one showed me another way. No one told me that my well-intentioned efforts were actually sustaining the chaos.
