Supporting early, being involved, not enabling, you don't want to, oh, here's some more money.
Parenting is never easy, but when addiction enters the picture, it can feel like an insurmountable challenge. In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with two fathers who have navigated the turbulent waters of their adult children's addiction. Both men, retired and living in different parts of the United States, have chosen to remain anonymous to protect their fragile relationships with their children.
Their stories are filled with heartache, hope, and hard-earned wisdom. These fathers open up about the strain addiction has placed on their families and how they've managed to find a semblance of peace after years of turmoil. They discuss the genetic factors that can contribute to addiction and share their thoughts on the dangers of marijuana addiction. One father poignantly advises, 'Supporting early, being involved, not enabling, you don't want to, oh, here's some more money'.
The episode goes beyond personal anecdotes to offer practical advice for parents in similar situations. The fathers emphasize the importance of consistent messaging within families and the critical need to avoid enabling behaviors. Their insights are not just theoretical; they come from years of lived experience and are aimed at helping other parents navigate this difficult journey. If you're a parent grappling with a child's addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate and informative perspective.
It’s a candid conversation that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and provides actionable advice for supporting loved ones without losing oneself in the process.
