Tough love is separating your heart from your head and letting your head make the decision, keeping that distance between the two with a big breath.
Imagine facing the heart-wrenching challenge of helping your child battle addiction. In this episode of 'My Child & Addiction', parents come together to discuss the concept of 'tough love' and how it's shaped their journeys. You'll hear from mothers and fathers, some in recovery themselves, as they navigate the delicate balance between support and setting boundaries.
