Leaving a relationship affected by addiction is rarely simple. Many people find themselves navigating confusion, fear, financial uncertainty, and emotional pressure while trying to determine what is safest for themselves and their children.
For people who love someone struggling with addiction and are considering divorce, this toolkit was created to help move from overwhelm to clarity.
Preparation does not mean you have already decided to leave.
It simply means you are giving yourself access to information, clarity, and options.

Divorcing someone with addiction is not the same as divorcing someone without it.
The emotional, relational, and practical dynamics are different — and many women don’t realize how different until they are already inside it.
This therapist-led seminar is designed to help you understand the terrain before, during, or after divorce when addiction is part of the relationship.
This seminar is for women who are:
• contemplating divorce from a partner with addiction
• actively divorcing someone whose addiction is shaping the process
• recently divorced and still navigating the impact of addiction
In this training, we talk about:
• what relationships impacted by addiction often do to a person over time
• why leaving can feel so complicated emotionally and practically
• what tends to happen when the structure of the relationship changes
• how addiction alters communication, conflict, and decision making
• what helps people regain stability if they decide to leave
Because when addiction enters a relationship, the dynamics that develop are often far more complex than people expect.
Understanding those dynamics can help you make sense of your own experience and move forward with more clarity.
