You've got to approach it like 'hey listen, I know I've been a little bit rigid with you or whatever the situation may be, but I'm trying to do something different.' Acknowledge it, acknowledge it. Don't just try and invite my kid to dinner. What do you think the kid is going to think when you go and invite him to dinner? Maybe he wants to completely make a change in how he approaches our relationship.
Picture this: after 184 episodes of sharing stories about her family's struggles with addiction, Brenda Zane finally sits down with her son, Enzo Narciso, for a heartfelt conversation. In this episode of 'Hopestream', Brenda and Enzo open up about their turbulent past, from the early days of Enzo's substance misuse to his remarkable recovery. Enzo's story is raw and real, offering a unique perspective on what it's like to navigate the treacherous waters of addiction as a young person.
They touch on how divorce and changing friendships nudged Enzo toward high-risk behaviors and substance use, and the baffling question of which treatment program truly helped him. Enzo candidly shares what was going through his mind during his darkest times and how he now connects with kids in treatment, using his experiences to guide them. The episode doesn't shy away from the harsh realities, including Enzo's near-fatal overdoses and the grueling medical recovery that followed.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Their conversation is also filled with hope and resilience, showing that even when everything seems to go wrong, there's always a way to make things right. This episode is a must-listen for parents grappling with similar issues, offering both empathy and practical insights.
