About this listen
Parenting teens and adult children after addiction is not something people talk about enough.
You get sober… and suddenly you're face to face with the damage, the guilt, and relationships that don’t feel the way you hoped they would.
In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about what it looks like to parent older kids in recovery. The guilt that shows up. The fear of rejection. The question of whether you’ve already done too much damage. And one of the hardest parts… how to set boundaries when you feel like you don’t have the right to.
We also talk about what’s actually possible. How trust gets rebuilt. What helps relationships heal (and what makes it worse). And how to keep showing up when it’s messy and takes longer than you want it to.
