Children of alcoholics and addicts often have to deny their feelings of sadness, fear, and anger in order to survive. Since unresolved feelings will always surface eventually, they often manifest during adulthood.
Imagine growing up in a home where addiction is the norm. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson and Team Captain Holly Davies dive into their personal experiences of being raised by parents who struggled with addiction. They candidly discuss the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it—denying feelings of sadness, fear, and anger just to survive. But these emotions don't stay buried forever; they often resurface in adulthood, creating new challenges to face.
Holly shares her journey of finding forgiveness, understanding, and accountability, stating, 'Being a child of an addict is part of my story. It doesn't define who I am'. This episode isn't just about recounting past struggles; it's about finding pathways to healing and breaking the cycle for future generations. Blu and Holly explore the crucial role of therapy, counseling, and community support in overcoming these deeply rooted issues.
Their stories serve as a beacon of hope for anyone dealing with similar family dynamics, showing that it's possible to turn pain into a message of recovery and resilience. Tune in to hear their inspiring tales and gain practical advice on navigating life after growing up in chaos.
