How can recovering behavioral addicts handle family problems?
In general, if you find that you cannot communicate your partners, with your children, with your significant people, then I really would recommend that you seek out mental health consultation. It could even be just a support group, or a weekend training, or a weekend workshop. It is essential that you address the family issues and if you can't do it alone to look to external resources, professional resources, to help over the hump and to get the ball rolling in this new way.
