Helping is doing something for someone that he or she is not capable of doing for himself.
Ever wondered if your efforts to help your addicted child might be doing more harm than good? In this heartfelt episode of 'Moms Letting Go Without Giving Up', host Michelle Weidenbenner offers a prayer and a practical checklist to help parents identify and address enabling behaviors. As a mother who has faced the turmoil of addiction firsthand, Michelle provides a compassionate and insightful approach to a complex issue that many parents struggle with.
This episode dives into the tough questions that parents need to ask themselves. Are you covering financial debts caused by your child's substance use? Have you excused them from responsibilities due to their depression? Michelle's checklist is designed to make parents reflect on these behaviors and understand their impact. By answering these questions honestly, parents can start to see patterns and take steps to break the cycle of enabling. But it's not all about tough love.
Michelle emphasizes the importance of self-care and forgiving oneself for past mistakes. She reassures parents that recognizing enabling behaviors is the first step towards positive change. The episode also highlights how supporting a loved one in their recovery journey can lead to broader positive impacts. With her empathetic voice and practical advice, Michelle encourages parents to take actionable steps towards healthier relationships with their addicted children.
This episode is a must-listen for any parent feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to best support their loved one's recovery while maintaining their own well-being.
