Boundaries

Imagine being in a room full of parents who understand the heartache and hope that comes with raising a child battling substance use disorder. In this episode of 'My Child & Addiction', a group of parents gather via Zoom to discuss one of the most crucial tools in their parenting toolkit: setting boundaries.

Guided by Christopher O'Reilly, the Executive Director of Counseling Services at Caron Treatment Centers, they share raw and real experiences about the highs and lows of establishing boundaries with their children. Whether it's dealing with co-dependency or the emotional toll on family dynamics, these parents lay it all out. One parent even shares their blunt, yet effective boundary: 'f*** it'.

Through candid conversations, they explore how setting limits can sometimes feel like a lifeline, not just for their children but for themselves too. If you're a parent navigating similar challenges, this episode offers a sense of community and practical advice that could make all the difference.
