Facing Reality: Addiction's Toll and the Power of Support with Opioid Dad
“It is an endurance test, not only for our loved one, that they may or may not be equipped to handle. Generally they are not. Sometimes it is physically, other times it appears to be mentally. It is often times they are not spiritually equipped to handle it. What else are they leaning on other than themselves.”
