Getting help is to admit that this is a problem that's bigger than we can handle on our own.
Imagine sitting in a room with other parents, all grappling with the same heart-wrenching struggle of a child's addiction. In this episode of 'My Child & Addiction', that's exactly what happens. Parents come together to share their personal stories about when and how they reached out for help, both for their children and themselves. This isn't just a group of strangers; it's a community bound by shared experiences and a collective hope for recovery.
Mothers and fathers, some in recovery themselves, discuss the moments they realized they needed support and the difficult steps they took to get it. They talk about breaking through denial, finding the right resources, and the invaluable support of parent-to-parent groups. Joining them is Maria Hendrickson, a Family Clinical Specialist from Caron Treatment Centers in New York, who adds her professional insights to the mix. The conversation is raw and honest, shedding light on the emotional rollercoaster that families face.
It's a reminder that while the journey is tough, no one has to walk it alone. This episode offers not just stories but practical advice and a sense of solidarity for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction in their family.
