The Mental Health Marriage

The Mental Health Marriage

Em Kacey

With mental illness, the spouse often gets left with the burdens of the family, and is left very isolated. All the support can go to the spouse with the disorder, when we as the partner, need just as much love, understanding, and support. This podcast is my way of trying to provide a small piece of that, and to share each other's stories and offer helpful advice, support, and community.

There is a statistic that says 80% of marriages where mental health is involved end in divorce.

Where is the balance between wanting a better life, and appreciating all the good things that you do actually have? This is something I struggle and wrestle with constantly, and maybe it's the pendulum of these two conflicting ideals that ultimately leads to both balance, and growth in our lives.
