Addiction and Abuse: Understanding the Intersection Between Addiction and Harmful Relationship Dynamics

When addiction and abuse exist in the same relationship, it can be difficult to know where one ends and the other begins.
Is the addiction causing the anger, manipulation, and control? Will everything change if the addiction stops? Are you helping—or enabling? And what happens when sobriety comes, but the harmful behavior remains?
Addiction and Abuse: Understanding the Intersection Between Addiction and Harmful Relationship Dynamics brings compassionate clarity to this confusing and painful place. Drawing from decades of ministry experience with families affected by addiction, as well as her own personal journey, Cherri Raws Freeman explores the destructive patterns that can accompany addiction and the impact they have on spouses, parents, adult children, siblings, and others who love them.
