Disabled people don’t have marriage equality and are often trapped in abusive relationships because the benefit system is set up to do exactly that. Disabled people on benefits can’t even move in with a partner without losing their income.

A new survey has found a fifth of couples are marrying only for the legal advantages. Couples who are married or in a civil partnership enjoy more legal benefits than those who are only cohabiting. Should you only marry for love?

Good thread BUT the first validation MUST be that the drug is a problem. Base on that & acknowledging that humans are complex & we can have several processes co-occurring can be easier to accept. Deny the drug damage, the trust is lost. For any drug, opioids to TCAs to SSRIs.
