Things I’ve Learned While Loving Someone in Active Addiction.
I learned a lot from being in a long term relationship with someone who struggled with a drug addiction. He never wanted to be like His uncle but he ended up being exactly like him. He was clean until he wasn’t. He would call himself the worst type of addict because he was addicted to the rush of it all way more than the actual drugs. I learned a lot about addiction from him. I learned that he thought that when it was good he thought the world glimmered with hope and when it was bad there was no getting out of it. I used to think that that feeling alone would make anyone stop. That the good must feel worse than all of the people that he was hurting. For him it never did.

How a Married Single Parent Survived Depression
Emma sat at the kitchen table, staring blankly at the morning paper. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow that contrasted sharply with the cold emptiness she felt inside. Her husband, Mark, was physically present but emotionally distant, buried in his work and personal pursuits.

"I thought Wuzhen was already beautiful until I visited Nanxun."
