There's so much resentment, not only with your kids, but seems like with everybody. That anger overflowed to everything, and then that was then this emotional turmoil, this war inside me with trying to present myself as everything is fine, nothing to see here, to what I was struggling with at home.
Ever wondered why setting boundaries with your teen who misuses drugs or alcohol feels like an uphill battle? In this episode of Hopestream, host Brenda Zane teams up with Cathy Cioth, co-founder of Hopestream Community, to tackle this very issue. They dive into what boundaries really mean, why they’re crucial, and how they can transform your family dynamics.
