Trust means trust. It can be rebuilt differently, and it's not linear.
Trust is a fragile thing, especially when addiction has torn through the fabric of a family. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater dive deep into the tangled web of trust and deception that often accompanies Substance Use Disorder (SUD). They bring their personal experiences to the table, sharing how they've navigated these turbulent waters themselves.
Laurie and Annie explore the painful yet crucial journey of rebuilding trust after addiction has wreaked havoc on family dynamics. They discuss the importance of self-trust, the pitfalls of being overly controlling as a parent, and the delicate balance needed in friendships and parent-child relationships. The episode doesn't shy away from the hard stuff—blame, responsibility, and the ever-present need for setting boundaries all get their time in the spotlight.
Through their candid conversation, Laurie and Annie offer a lifeline to families struggling with similar issues, providing practical advice and emotional support. As Annie wisely notes, 'Trust means trust. It can be rebuilt differently, and it's not linear'. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that aims to help families find their way back to trust and healing.
