It's okay to let things go, it doesn't have to be the perfect gourmet meal every time, and I just think that our willingness to go to a charade of the perfect person, mom or otherwise...puts too much pressure on people, and by taking time for your recovery, you're showing your kids that you can let your slip show.
Being a mother in recovery is no easy feat, especially when it comes to the question of how to talk to your kids about addiction. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy dives into the heartfelt and often challenging discussions that mothers face on this journey. Joined by a diverse group of mothers in recovery, Jean opens up a space for raw and honest conversations about the different ways they approach this sensitive topic.
From complete transparency to selective shielding, each mother shares her unique perspective and the reasoning behind her choices. This episode touches on crucial themes like the importance of self-care in sobriety, the impact of societal expectations and stigma, and the genetic factors of addiction. The mothers also discuss how open communication and education can transform family life, offering a beacon of hope and encouragement for anyone navigating the complexities of motherhood and recovery.
Whether you're a mom in recovery or know someone who is, this episode provides invaluable insights and support.
