Guiding Your Child's Recovery: Insights from Safe Home Podcast Guests

Instead of really looking at it like it's just another major imbalance in life, I think we all look to escape, and that's something I like you describing it that way, because I think it helps people to relate instead of judging it so much, just judging the activity or what the person is using to escape.
Parenting a child with addiction is a journey filled with challenges, heartache, and hope. In this episode of 'Living With Your Child's Addiction', Heather Ross invites Beth Syverson, Joey Nakao, and Jan Mabie from the Safe Home podcast to share their deeply personal experiences. Joey, a 17-year-old in early recovery, offers valuable wisdom on relationships and the unique needs of a child struggling with addiction.
His insights are not just for teens but can resonate with parents of children of any age. Beth and Jan, Joey's mothers, discuss their responses to Joey's substance abuse and recovery, emphasizing the importance of being united in their approach. They also share how they managed to keep their marriage strong amidst the turmoil. Together, they created the Safe Home podcast to support other families navigating similar paths.
This episode dives into the significance of compassionate support, effective communication, and self-care for parents. It’s a heartfelt conversation that sheds light on the power of authenticity and connection in fostering healing. Tune in to gain practical strategies and a sense of solidarity in your own journey.
