ABOUT THE EPISODE:
This bonus Father's Day episode lets you get a look inside life from the point of view of a young man fighting for his children's mom and partner as she battled addiction. It's a story you don't often hear - and one that carries a stigma above and beyond what others feel when they love someone addicted to drugs or alcohol.
My guest, Andy Baskett, shares his exhausting battle to save his partner and mother of his 3 children as she sinks deeper into a world that takes her away from him, their twin girls and infant son. Andy opens up about:
what it's like to be a guy fighting for his addicted partnerhow limited resources for male spouses impacted his ability to copehow addiction can take hold within a matter of weeks and months, not yearshis struggle to raise 3 kids under the age of 2 on his own while also trying to save their motherthe steps he and his extended family took to best prepare his children for losing their mom to drugsFor any men who are currently going through the battle to save their spouse from the grip of drugs or alcohol, this is a must-listen episode. It will also give anyone who listens a great sense of empathy and understanding for family members who are doing whatever they can to save someone they love.
