For these kids, they are the unseen and the unheard and the unspoken because of the stigma. So I started The Christopher Roberts Foundation before he had passed because this is insane.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their struggles into a force for good? Jordan Klix's story on the 'Recovery Speaks' podcast is a powerful example. Growing up in Ocean County and Monmouth County, Jordan's journey into addiction began with what seemed like harmless experimentation—smoking marijuana with friends. But as many know, addiction doesn't stay harmless for long. It brought chaos into her life, affecting her relationships with her daughter and partner.
When her partner, Christopher Roberts, went to rehab, Jordan saw firsthand the struggles faced by children of parents with substance use disorders. This experience ignited a passion in her to make a difference, leading to the creation of The Christopher Roberts Foundation (TCRF). TCRF is dedicated to supporting children impacted by parental addiction, offering them resources and a safe space to express themselves.
One of their standout initiatives is 'Project Angel Tree', which aims to bring joy to these children's lives by fulfilling their holiday wishes. Jordan opens up about the heavy burden of codependency she experienced as a 'parentified' child and stresses the importance of breaking the stigma around addiction. Her self-care routines, from intense workouts to creative outlets like drawing, highlight the importance of maintaining personal well-being on the road to recovery.
Jordan's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of turning personal pain into community support. Tune in to hear how one woman's journey from addiction led to advocacy, offering hope and resources to children who need it most.
