Forgiveness and Healing: A Lifeline for Moms of Addicted Children
Forgiveness is really more for us than it is the other person, because when we're sitting in a place where we're obsessing over somebody else and what they've done to us or said to us, we can't stay healthy, we can't be healthy, we can't sleep.
Dealing with a child's addiction is an emotional rollercoaster, especially for moms who often bear the brunt of guilt and anger. In this episode of 'Moms Letting Go Without Giving Up', Michelle Weidenbenner, also known as the Chief Hope Builder, dives deep into the complex emotions that come with having an addicted loved one.
She offers heartfelt strategies on how to release resentment and embrace forgiveness—not just for the sake of their children, but for their own peace of mind too. Michelle emphasizes the importance of seeing addiction as a disease rather than a personal failure, which can be a game-changer in how moms approach their relationships and expectations. She also talks about the power of education in combating stigma and encourages moms to connect with others who are walking the same path.
