My ability to judge if she is in danger has been damaged by my years of worry and uncertainty, and my protectiveness could not protect her before, so it probably won't save her now, but that doesn't mean there's nothing I can do.
Parenting a child struggling with substance use is like walking a tightrope. In this heartfelt episode of 'A Dose of Hope', Ginny Mills opens up about her own journey as both an addiction specialist and a mother. She shares the delicate dance between wanting to protect her daughter and needing to empower her to find her own path to recovery. Ginny's reflections are deeply personal, filled with moments of vulnerability and wisdom that any parent can relate to.
She acknowledges the instinct to shield our children from harm but also highlights the importance of letting them take responsibility for their own lives. This episode is a blend of practical advice and emotional support, touching on themes of faith, trust, and the power of letting go. It's a must-listen for parents who find themselves in the challenging position of loving a child through their struggles with addiction.
Join Ginny as she offers a compassionate voice of experience and hope, reminding us all that recovery is possible when we believe in our loved ones and in ourselves.
