So my view is that as long as we try our best, as long as we get educated good enough, parenting is actually good enough and we should beat ourselves up.
What does it mean to be a 'good enough' parent when your child is struggling with substance use disorder? In this episode of 'My Child & Addiction', a group of parents gather virtually to share their heartfelt experiences and insights. Meeting via Zoom due to the pandemic, these mothers and fathers, some in recovery themselves, come together to discuss the ups and downs of parenting children with addiction and mental health issues.
Joining them is Cheryl Knepper, Senior Vice President of Core Programming at Caron Treatment Centers, who offers her professional perspective on the topic. The conversation covers a range of topics, from coping with relapses to managing personality changes and understanding the role of family support.
One parent poignantly notes, 'As long as we try our best and stay informed, good enough parenting is actually good enough.' This episode provides a candid look at the emotional rollercoaster of parenting through addiction and serves as a reminder that you're not alone in this journey.
