Welcome to Love and Abuse, the show about navigating the difficult relationship,

from simple disagreements to emotionally abusive behaviors.

You deserve respecting kindness.

All the information on this show is meant for educational purposes only.

Always seek a professional for your mental health and well-being, and always pick your battles wisely.

I'm your host, Paul Koliani.

I think there are some relationship challenges that are impossible.

They're impossible to address. So for someone like me, you know, I talk about this stuff all the time.

I can tell you probably 98% of everything that comes my way, all the questions that come my way, I have some guidance for.

But then there are questions that come my way that it's not that I don't have guidance.

It's just that I don't have very good news.

It's not always good news.

It's not always easy.

There might be difficulties that when you make a decision or even making the decision, it will be a huge challenge.

I don't believe anything out there is insurmountable, meaning I think that you can overcome almost any challenge that comes your way.

It's just that it won't turn out exactly the way you want it to,

but you will have that challenge behind you when it comes and you decide to overcome it,

or you have an opportunity to overcome it.

And when you overcome it, then you can look back and say, holy cow, I didn't think I was going to make it through that, but I did.

And I lost a good part of myself.

I lost other things along the way.

But here I am today.
