In becoming co-dependent, we tend to lose ourselves to an addiction we never had. Breaking this cycle will allow your children to endure their consequences and release them to gain self-dependence.
I head back to a day when my son was still in the grips of his addiction and what that looked like—the odd behavior, the confusing talks, the constant motion from his high. We are so thankful that the “guy we used to know” has returned and is living well in his recovery today!
When it feels like the cycle of addiction will never end, we may find ourselves locked in an illness we don’t have. We pray our loved ones into healing and wholeness, only to find we are the one broken. This episode discusses the importance of boundaries within a parent’s recovery plan.
