Perhaps one of the hardest parts of this recovery journey for us as a family is deciding to trust. I've heard that trust is like a house of cards, easily demolished yet so hard to rebuild.
Trust shattered by addiction can feel like an insurmountable obstacle. In this episode of 'A Dose of Hope', Ginny Mills, an addiction specialist and mother of a daughter in recovery, shares her personal journey of mending trust within her family. Ginny candidly discusses how addiction can erode trust and the challenging yet vital process of rebuilding it. She emphasizes that trust is a two-way street, requiring both the willingness to be trustworthy and the willingness to trust again.
Ginny reminds us that while we can't control our loved one's actions, we can decide when and how to give them opportunities to prove themselves. Starting with small steps and gradually moving towards bigger ones is key. The mantra here is progress, not perfection. Through patience, love, and mutual respect, trust can be rebuilt over time.
Ginny also highlights resources available on ParentingThroughAddiction.com, which offers educational videos, treatment center information, group support, and private consultations to help parents navigate this tough journey. This episode is a beacon of hope for any parent struggling to rebuild trust with a child affected by addiction.
