Imagine carrying the weight of someone else’s happiness for so long that you forget what it feels like to breathe. Robin has spent the last ten of her 26 years together with her husband slowly suffocating as she's become her husband's caretaker instead of his partner. While he battles depression and anxiety with little progress despite years of treatment, Robin finds herself drowning in guilt over wanting something she can barely admit: freedom.Four sessions into couples therapy with her husband, she's finally confronting a devastating truth: she's been building a rich, fulfilling life that deliberately excludes the man sleeping next to her every night. Now she wonders whether the small cosmetic changes happening in therapy can address the deeper disconnection that's been festering for years, or if it's time to finally have the conversation she's been avoiding about what she truly needs.Karen Covy is a Divorce Coach and Consultant, Lawyer, Author, and Speaker who is dedicated to helping people make the best decisions possible for themselves, their families, and their future - especially in stressful times.
