Our marriage cannot heal because of one partners mental and emotional instability NOT because of the affairs. The affairs can't even be talked about rationally because of the complications from the other issues. The affairs only brought to light the underlying illness and now it seems nothing can be repaired.Sections: Leslie and John's callsRL_Category: Find HopeSafety in RecoveryThe Role of EmpathyRL_Media Type: Video
