Free Guide: When Someone You Love Hurts You — Or Themselves

Understanding Emotional Chaos, Trauma, and Addiction in a Family Member

For families, partners, and loved ones walking on eggshells

📍 Is This You?

  • You feel like you can’t say or do anything right
  • Your loved one goes from warm to cruel in seconds
  • You’ve been blamed, manipulated, or made to feel “crazy”
  • They may struggle with addiction, outbursts, or mental health swings
  • You're exhausted trying to help

You are not alone. And you are not the cause of their behavior.

🧩 What’s Really Going On?

Many people dealing with emotional instability or substance use aren’t just “difficult” — they may be suffering from:

  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) - BPD Link
  • Complex PTSD (CPTSD) - CPTSD Link
  • Addiction or Co-occurring Disorders - Drug Addiction and Co-Occuring Disorders
  • Narcissistic Traits
  • Unhealed Childhood Trauma - Childhood Trauma and Drug Addiction

Their pain often spills into your life — but that doesn’t mean you're responsible.

🛠️ What You Can Do

1. Learn the Patterns

When you understand trauma cycles and dysregulation, you stop personalizing the chaos.

2. Set Boundaries Without Guilt

Healthy limits protect you — and actually give the other person a chance to grow.

3. Don’t Play Therapist

You can’t fix what a trained professional needs to handle. And that’s okay.

4. Encourage Help, Not Force It

Let them know treatment exists — for addiction, trauma, and emotional healing — but they have to take the first step.

5. Take Care of You

You can’t support anyone else if you’re constantly in survival mode.
