I was 3 years in on 4/19. Finding this content is “meeting me where I am at” (ugh) and for the first time I see a future beyond the daily despair I have felt for all this time. Thank you for articulating so much of what I have been unable to! Letting go is a process…. We will get there!
I am so thankful for this content. Listening to your conversation with Peavy today has helped me yet again. When I am starting to feel low this is the pick me up that I need. My daughter is 14 and it scares me that I could be just like you both in 4 years. But I know I have done a lot of the hard work you both discuss to keep our relationship strong while also taking care of myself. I don’t feel lost and alone anymore.
I am older, 76, but went through drugs with a teenager. In those days we had tough love. It was hard but it worked. Our son had to leave if he wasn't either working or at school and not doing drugs so of course he chose to leave. He is 45 now a homeowner & father of twin girls turning 5. I think you are quite wrong to disrespect those parents who don't affirm or who reject their children because they are uninformed and not knowledgeable. They are being cruel to be kind. So patronizing of you. I'm sure they think you don't know any better either. Too bad you can't learn anything from preceeding generations. Our son is profoundly grateful for our strength of character and despises the drugs that almost ruined his life forever.
