47 - 11 Subtle Signs Your Partner’s Addiction Is Controlling Your Life

If you’re lying awake at night wondering “Is it really that bad?”, “Am I overreacting?”, or “How did I even get here?” this episode is for you.

In this powerful and compassionate solo episode, Amanda walks you through 11 subtle but life-altering signs that your partner’s addiction might be quietly taking over your world, emotionally, mentally, and even physically.

This is not about blaming or shaming your loved one. It’s about helping you see the truth of what’s happening so you can reclaim your peace, identity, and life without guilt.

You’ll hear:

• What “walking on eggshells” really looks like in a relationship with addiction
• How your mood may be tied to theirs (and why it’s exhausting)
• Why you’ve stopped making plans and stopped laughing
• The invisible weight of responsibility and the deep grief of losing yourself
• A gentle but powerful reminder: you don’t need to wait for it to get even worse to get support

Whether you tick one box or all eleven, please know this: you’re not dramatic, you’re not overreacting and you’re not alone.
