My Addict’s Family Blames Me for His Addiction - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2023-05-15T20:18:08
Dr. Rob and Tami talk about why a family might put all the focus and blame on the betrayed spouse and not look at the actual family member (their son or daughter who is the one struggling with the addiction) to put their anger and disappointment on. Dr. Rob shares a bit of a reminder that you’re working with a broken family unit and they will lash out in unhealthy ways to cope.
