Publisher's Synopsis
Addiction is real and it can have devastating effects on marriages and families. Secrescy can enable and perpetuate addition. Unfortunately, many spouses do not know how to confront their partner and fear what that confrontation may bring. Calling on years of counselling experience and clinical study, Reid and Gray point the way toward disclosure as a means or re-establishing trust for the success of a long term marriage. They help spouses and addicts avoid destructive behaviours by helping couples assess the problem together, gauge realistic expectations, and begin the process of recovery.
