The Silent Destroyer: Drug Addiction’s Impact on Marriage and Family Life
Hosted by: Jane Tenquist, Head of Family Law at Myerson Solicitors
In this powerful episode of My Family Pod, we sit down with Jonathan Edgeley, founder of Montrose Health, to discuss the hidden impacts of addiction on relationships, separation, and family life.
Jonathan shares his deeply personal journey through addiction and recovery, shedding light on how substance misuse, from alcohol and drugs to gambling, fractures family dynamics and exacerbates divorce proceedings.
As a family lawyer, host Jane highlights the real-world consequences of addiction on parenting roles, financial strain, and the emotional well-being of children.
Key topics include:
- The cycle of addiction and how it escalates from social use to dependency
- The role of addiction in marital breakdown and the complex dynamics it creates
- How trauma, childhood experiences, and genetic predispositions contribute to addiction
- Why addressing the whole family is vital for sustainable recovery
- The unique, tailored rehab programmes offered by Montrose Health, including one-on-one residential support in the Peak District
- Understanding the link between addiction and undiagnosed ADHD or autism
- Insights on post-divorce recovery, mental health support, and rebuilding self-identity
- Practical advice for family lawyers on spotting vulnerable clients and providing effective signposting
Whether you are a family law professional, facing the challenges of addiction within your family, or seeking a deeper understanding of recovery pathways, this episode offers compassionate insights and practical advice.
