Episode Synopsis

Is being too independent a bad thing? Oftentimes, when you're dealing with a loved one in active addiction, all of the responsibilities fall on one person. When Jessica and Shannon's partners were out of their homes they had to take on everything. Katie was responsible for managing the household budget, chores and taking care of their newborn baby while Kemmon was away at meetings 6 days a week.  Being independent, for some of us, came out of necessity. The ladies also discuss how they balance self-care and their partner's recovery schedules.
