Sometimes it just takes time to know what's really going on. When I am uncertain, I will remind myself that more will be revealed in good time. And yet, just for Today, I will share my reassurance and hope with other parents on this journey and continue to take care of myself, keep growing and healing and encourage our daughter and our family.
Ginny Mills knows the heartache of watching a child struggle with substance use. In this episode of 'A Dose of Hope', she shares her deeply personal story, walking listeners through the four distinct phases her family endured. The first phase saw her daughter blossoming into a capable young woman, full of potential. But then came the 'weird years', where she began to change into someone unrecognizable.
As the grip of addiction tightened, the third phase was marked by a painful realization that drugs had taken over her daughter's life, leading to the difficult decision to push for rehab. These were undoubtedly the hardest years, but they were also a turning point. The final phase is one of healing and growth, where both Ginny and her daughter found their community and began to rebuild their lives.
This episode isn't just about recounting the past; it's about providing hope and practical advice for parents facing similar struggles. Ginny emphasizes the importance of community support and self-care, offering tools to help parents become part of the solution. She reminds us that a sustainable, full life in recovery is possible, and encourages listeners to take steps towards healing for themselves and their families.
