Am I Doing Enough? A Mother's Journey with Her Teen's Daily Pot Use

I explained to my son at that time that I was told to call the police to come after him. And that actually was the first step into like me deciding I do have some control.
Ever found yourself asking, 'Am I doing enough?' when it comes to your child's substance use? In this episode of Hopestream, Brenda Zane sits down with Susan, a mom grappling with her almost 18-year-old son's daily marijuana habit. Susan opens up about her fears and frustrations, sharing how her son's behavior leaves her feeling torn between relief that things aren't worse and anxiety that they could be better.
She recounts the impact of her divorce and her ex-husband's addiction on her son's choices. Brenda, a seasoned health and wellness coach, helps Susan navigate these turbulent waters using the CRAFT parenting approach. They brainstorm ways to improve communication, set boundaries, and foster more genuine conversations about the risks of drug use. Brenda also emphasizes the importance of self-care and finding community support for parents in similar situations.
This heartfelt conversation offers practical advice and emotional support for anyone dealing with a teen's substance use issues. Tune in for a relatable and enlightening discussion.
