Inspired by @anonymous17’s question here.

For me and my husband, I think my dad’s struggle has brought us closer because we’ve seen & experienced some “straight out of a movie” craziness. But there’s also this sort of funny undertone sometimes where I take the lead because it’s my dad and I feel like there are things/opinions my husband wants to say but bites his tongue.

Wondering, how has a family member’s struggle with substance use affected your relationship with your significant other?!
