If we can come up beside them and understand why they're feeling something, even if we don't agree, even if we can't relate, but we can offer a hug or a pat on the shoulder and just listen without needing to fix them, then they are more likely to open up and share and not feel ashamed, right?
Imagine trying to support your child through addiction while also taking care of your own emotional well-being.

Through heartfelt stories and actionable tips, Michelle guides mothers on how to listen without judgment, set healthy boundaries, and offer unwavering support. Whether you're struggling to understand your child's addiction or looking for ways to cope, this episode provides a compassionate roadmap for both you and your loved one.
