It is very hard and that is something that vis pride. I have learned over The Last Few Years that you know, for me, like it was very easy to like, always be ready to like, declare victory, like, okay, we're out of the woods now, right, and now I'm more grounded in the realities of a chronic disease, right, that you know.
Ever felt the sting of shame or the warmth of pride while parenting a child with a substance use disorder? This episode of 'My Child & Addiction' dives deep into these conflicting emotions. Parents from support groups come together to share their raw, unfiltered experiences, shedding light on the rollercoaster of feelings they face daily. Eric Webber, a seasoned clinician from Caron Treatment Centers, joins the discussion, offering his expert perspective on how these emotions impact family dynamics and relationships.
The parents talk openly about the guilt and shame they often feel, and how excessive pride can sometimes be just as damaging. They also highlight the importance of recognizing and celebrating their children's progress, no matter how small, and how support groups provide a vital lifeline of encouragement and understanding. This episode is a candid exploration of the highs and lows of parenting through addiction, emphasizing the power of vulnerability and the strength found in shared experiences.
