In this powerfully honest episode, Adriana's friend Teresa shares her story for the first time, walking us through the slow erosion of her 20-year marriage. What began as a partnership was shattered by a life-altering cancer diagnosis that, while beaten, unleashed a devastating spiral of addiction, depression, and psychological torment. Teresa recounts the lonely years spent trying to "fix" the man she loved, the chilling effect of prescription drugs, and the impossible weight of keeping her family together, until her daughter’s four simple words, "I don't feel safe," changed everything.This is a story about the guilt of giving up, the strength it takes to leave, and the slow, difficult path toward healing from trauma. Teresa's journey from a toxic marriage to a new, unhealthy relationship and, finally, to a place of self-awareness and healing, is a testament to resilience and the courage to finally listen to your own inner voice.Key Moments:03:27 — The Cancer Diagnosis: A shocking turn that rocked their world.08:37 — His Drug of Choice: How losing his identity as an adrenaline junkie fueled his despair.11:01 — A Combination of Disaster: The dangerous mix of pain pills, Ambien, and alcohol.13:12 — He Beat Cancer, But Broke His Back: The chemo aftermath and the start of a new pill dependency.17:50 — "He Wasn't That Dad Anymore": The heartbreaking moment Teresa realized the man she married was gone.21:10 — "I Don't Feel Safe Anymore": The words from her daughter that became the final straw.23:21 — The Break-In: The terrifying incident that led to a restraining order.26:13 — The Guilt of Leaving: Facing judgment from family and the struggle to let go.32:26 — Jumping Into Another Bad Relationship: The trap of avoiding silence after trauma.40:05 — When Therapy Goes Wrong: The challenge of finding the right therapist and medication.59:08 — The Nine-Year Mistake: Teresa reveals she spent almost a decade in another toxic relationship after her marriage.1:03:46 — Advice to Her Younger Self: What she wishes she had known.Connect with Teresa► Instagram: @love.t.cConnect with Adriana ► TikTok: @justfortodaypodcast ► Instagram: @justfortodaypodcast ► YouTube: @justfortodaypodcastThis podcast was produced by Scufd Studio Pvt.
