We don't have to accept their choices, we don't have to understand them, but we can just meet them where they are and let them sit in our presence or not.
The holiday season can be a challenging time for families dealing with addiction. In this episode of 'Moms Letting Go Without Giving Up', host Michelle Weidenbenner shares a deeply moving Christmas letter from an addicted loved one. This letter offers a rare and raw glimpse into the mind of someone grappling with addiction, providing invaluable insights for mothers and families in similar situations.
Michelle, a mother who has faced these struggles herself, brings her compassionate voice to the forefront, helping listeners navigate the emotional complexities of loving someone through their addiction. The letter underscores the importance of treating addicts with respect and compassion, and highlights the significance of simply being present for them, even when their struggles are hard to comprehend.
Michelle emphasizes that while it’s crucial to set boundaries and protect one’s own well-being, it’s equally important to let go of shame and judgment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand addiction better and find ways to support their loved ones with empathy and love.
