I felt very confident in my decision-making, and then I ran into this disease called addiction, and to say that my decision-making wasn't adequate is being very generous to me and my capabilities.
Parenting a child with a substance use disorder is a maze of tough decisions, each one carrying weighty consequences. This episode of 'My Child & Addiction' dives into the heart-wrenching choices parents face and how these decisions impact both them and their children. With the compassionate guidance of Rev. Jack Abel from Caron Treatment Centers, a diverse group of parents—some in recovery themselves—open up about their personal journeys.
They share stories of navigating the rocky terrain of addiction, discussing everything from relinquishing control to evolving family dynamics. The conversation is a tapestry of real-life experiences, filled with moments of vulnerability and resilience. The parents highlight the importance of seeking support, finding moments of joy, and relying on spiritual discernment to guide them through this challenging path. This episode offers not just practical advice but also a sense of community and hope for those feeling isolated in their struggles.
