Parenting a child with addiction can feel like an endless rollercoaster, where every twist and turn leaves you grasping for control. In this heartfelt episode of 'Living With Your Child's Addiction', Heather Ross opens up about her personal struggle with her daughter's addiction and the pivotal moment she realized it was time to let go. Heather's journey is a testament to the power of self-care and the importance of putting on your own oxygen mask first.

Heather emphasizes that understanding addiction as a disease is crucial, and detaching from the chaos doesn't mean abandoning your child. Instead, it's about loving them while not letting their struggles consume you.
