Joan and Robyn working through substance use and mental health issues together
“For me, when I feel needy and expecting her to give me the love, that actually means I need to give myself some self-love and self-care, so I can come back and be able to give more to her. When I give to myself, I’m able to give more to my partner and to everyone else.”
Robyn and Joan, together for 11 months, share how they’ve supported each other through substance use, mental health issues and personal growth, and have come out stronger as individuals – and as a couple – because of it.
