Wow, I have to tell you that conversation with Andy was just so powerful and so emotional, and I just can't imagine the amount of pain and worry and frustration and anger that he must have felt through that entire experience.
Ever wondered what it's like to be a dad fighting for his partner's life as she battles addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Hopestream', Andrew Baskett takes us through his heart-wrenching journey. As a father of three young children, Andrew faced the dual challenge of raising his kids and trying to save their mother from the grip of addiction. This isn't a story you hear every day, and it's one that carries its own unique set of stigmas and struggles.
Andrew talks candidly about the emotional and physical toll it took on him, especially with the limited resources available for male spouses. He shares how addiction can take hold frighteningly fast, sometimes within weeks or months, not years. Through all the chaos, Andrew's resilience shines through as he discusses the steps he and his extended family took to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.
Brenda Zane, the compassionate host, provides a supportive space for Andrew to share his story, reminding listeners of the importance of self-care and community support. If you're a parent or partner grappling with a loved one's addiction, this episode offers a raw, unfiltered look at the challenges and a powerful message of hope.
