I have two sons and it's my older son who is the alcoholic... So for the first, At Least The First Year- I don't recall exactly- I would come to Al-Anon meetings, and I would not say that my son is an alcoholic.
Raising teenagers is tough enough, but when addiction enters the picture, the challenges can feel overwhelming. In this episode of The Recovery Show, Mary and Ellen open up about their journeys as parents of teenage alcoholics and addicts. They share candid stories of heartache, hope, and the hard-earned wisdom they've gained along the way. How do you detach with love? What boundaries are essential? And how can Al-Anon offer a lifeline in such turbulent times?
Mary and Ellen tackle these questions head-on, providing practical advice and emotional support. They discuss the fine line between helping and enabling, and the painful realities of financial abuse. But it's not all doom and gloom; their stories are laced with moments of triumph and growth, offering a beacon of hope to fellow parents. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the complexities of parenting through addiction.
You'll find not just advice, but a sense of community and understanding that can make all the difference.
