Just as it is almost impossible for me to consider that I am not to blame in bad situations, I need to realize that it feels equally impossible for my daughter to accept blame.
Parenting a child who struggles with substance use is a delicate dance between hope and harsh reality. In this episode of 'A Dose of Hope', Ginny Mills, an addiction specialist and mother of a daughter in recovery, opens up about her yearning for her child to be a positive force in the community. Yet, the reality often felt like the opposite, with her daughter being a negative influence instead.
Ginny dives deep into the emotional tug-of-war that many parents face, balancing responsibility and accountability while trying to manage their child's addiction. She shares her personal journey of learning to trust again, embracing vulnerability, and accepting feedback from those who genuinely care. Ginny also discusses the invaluable support offered by ParentingThroughAddiction.com, including educational resources, treatment center information, group support, and private consultations.
This episode is a heartfelt message of hope and encouragement for parents navigating the rocky terrain of addiction and recovery, reminding them that a sustainable and fulfilling life is achievable for everyone affected by addiction.
