- TRIGGER WARNING: Discussions of Addiction and Eating Disorders
Have more meaningful conversations with {THE AND} relationship card game: www.theskindeep...
Mother and Daughter Leslie (she/her) and Isa (she/her) have crossed some of the same paths in their lives, and are still learning with each other along the way. The two have both faced addiction in their own ways and are able to listen and understand the other more because of it. As a mother, Leslie is supporting her daughter, and using her past experience to do so. Isa and Leslie speak candidly of their experiences with addiction and recovery, as well as how their relationship has been affected and grown from Isa's experience.
We'd like to thank Isa and Leslie for participating openly & vulnerably in our project. We appreciate what they've shared with us and hope you do as well.

Hi this is Isa from the video. I turn 19 in November and I just celebrated 2 years and 2 months clean and sober at the beginning of the month. So grateful for this experience and recovery in general
Congrats on your sobriety you should be proud of yourself!
Congrats!!
Incredibly proud of you!
Hope things are still going good. When u feel ur life is not going the way u want it to go, it's okay to admit that u not okay. Don't invalidate how u feel or what u feel.
Take Care ❤❤❤
My kid takes my socks too. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. We can only control how we respond to situations. Be blessed.
As a person who got sober at 19 and did all teenage years, parties, living abroad etc that way- it is hard yes BUT it is absolutely doable. It's all about who you surround yourself with. To this day I remember my friends ordering soft drinks for me and reminding others that I don't drink in a super acceptable and normal way.
What a beautiful, compassionate, graceful and honest mother and daughter duo. I am sad that they’ve been through so much, but thankful that Leslie can genuinely empathise with Isa. She’s right that “relapse is a part of recovery.” There’s a misconception that if a person relapses, that somehow they’ve failed. Yet the very act of attempting to get help and recognise destructive patterns should be commended. If a child continually fell off their bike, while learning, we wouldn’t dismiss them as a failure. We would alter our approach to teaching them and continue to encourage them until they felt confident. I wish them well on this crazy journey called life and I hope that we get a follow-up when Isa gets her coin and key.
🙌🏾
Not wanting to burden people with my issues is something I still struggle with to this day. Thank you for sharing this conversation, I hope Isa is able to be more open about her struggles in the future. The people who love you want to be able to support you, let them in!
This was inspiring. During my addiction, my mother was the furthest thing from supportive. Her insults really sliced me up good. I'm still bruised.
This mothers support and love speaks bounds. If my baby grows up and has issues, it is my word he'll never see my back. ❤
Thank you for sharing this with us and our community. If you ever want to talk with your mother about this on our platforms, feel free to apply at theskindeep.com/be-on-the-and.
Seeing someone in a facility with only hourly visits is extremely difficult. The good thing is she realizes she has an issue, but it is difficult to explain to someone you love they can’t come home with you because they could harm themself and even though they feel the best they have ever felt, the low will be unbearably low. My sister has been to several after a traumatic loss in our family. She is doing better, but big changes are difficult. It is stupid to say, but journaling really helps her remain linked with reality and painting relaxes her. I know there will be many trials and tribulations, but at least you guys have a connection that many wish to understand in loved ones pain. I am not pleased you know the pain, I’m sorry, but I do feel it helps knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel for your daughter and makes her feel less isolated in her pain. I wish you health and prosperity because you both deserve the world! Much love!
Thank you for sharing this part of your family's story. We wish you health and prosperity as well.
@@TheSkinDeep Thank you for what you do, it is nice and fulfilling to hear people in all sorts of relationships share what is often buried deep below the surface.
This journey they took together was a difficult and hard one. What I'm happy to see is that they are surviving it. I wish them continued success.
" no one knows but thank you"
something in that hit me
You moved me to tears.
I feel you.
This was so beautiful to watch. I love how much compassion, understanding, no judgement and love was shared. My heart was being tugged at the entire time while tears were rolling down my face.
This conversation was touching, profound, and insightful-but I’m sorry I could not stop laughing at 1:31 when she was listing all of her mental health issues. It’s so damn relatable 😂
They're both so beautiful and gracious. ❤
Thank you skin deep☝️
Thank you ladies for sharing 🙏
Wow there's so much u can take from this one video
I've never looked at parent control like that. The having to literally take control of u when you're a baby and having to grow out of the with age
Ahw they are both so beautiful! They seem like such amazing and caring people...
Thank you for sharing this with us, I'm wishing you the very best!
Also, I'm almost 23 and I've have been addicted as well. In the beginning it was hard, but now and because of everything that has happenend, I honor myself to much to ever put substances into my body again, no matter what. My last time was 2,5 years ago. Just to say that it's possible. I hope that you'll get that feeling too. 🙏🏽 Good luck with everything! ❤️
Congratulations to you on your achievement, and thank you for sharing that. We're glad you chose to offer this perspective and advice/hope to our community.
@@TheSkinDeep Thank you so much! 🙏🏽 And you're welcome! ❤️
I love the skin deep... I think I've watch every single one lol
Beautiful video 💕
It’s so good for the world to see and start to understand some of these things. It is incredibly brave to have these conversations. I’ve had similar talks with my mom too. ❤️
My one year, my graduation, going off to college...and having a roommate who steals my socks.
Thank you for posting this honest interview.
