#207 Listener Episode: Leaving a Partner...

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

In today's listener episode I have Jana from Slovakia on the show and she tells the story of her relationship which was a great relationship for the first 7 months and then her partner was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder which ultimately led to the demise of the relationship. We talk about what it's like to ultimately have to leave a relationship due to a partners mental health struggles, the guilt that comes along with that, the importance of personal safety in a relationship, and dealing with the fallout of leaving. This is a really important story and one that I know a lot of people deal with so I'm grateful to Jana for coming on and sharing.
