I had to admit that every time my husband got involved, things went better and I had to put my pride aside. That was really tough for me because I wanted to believe that, as a mother, I was more intuitive to my son and that I could be more compassionate, that I could understand him better and that I was, you know, the soft, feely, touchy, loving one right, whereas my husband, he, came at it from a very logical point of view, unemotional, which is what I needed.
Ever feel like you're walking on eggshells around your addicted loved one? In this heartfelt episode of 'Moms Letting Go Without Giving Up', Michelle Weidenbenner dives deep into the delicate art of guiding a loved one towards recovery. Michelle, a mother who has been through the trenches of addiction with her own child, offers a treasure trove of wisdom and practical advice.
She discusses the importance of who should initiate the conversation about recovery and what to do if your loved one is completely opposed to change. You'll also learn about 'change talk'—a technique that can help open the door to recovery discussions without triggering defensiveness. Michelle emphasizes the value of having allies in recovery, sharing how her husband's unemotional, logical approach played a crucial role in their son's journey to sobriety.
This episode isn't just about strategies; it's about finding hope and support in a community of mothers who truly understand what you're going through. Whether you're at the beginning of this challenging journey or have been navigating it for years, Michelle's insights will offer you a sense of direction and solidarity. Tune in to discover how to support your loved one while taking care of yourself.
