Even though I'm not an addict, 2 of my 3 adult kids are. I was a child-parent and made some epic mistakes. Maya Angelou said "When you know better you do better"
Most blame us. Thank God for you and Alanon.
Thank you Karen I just lost my spouse and it hurts. Your voice brings comfort
It's almost 4 am in the morning and I'm remembering every thing that could lead to my kid's addiction....Thank you for this video!
This is God sent! My son is a heroin addict. I missed so many clues, or didn't want to see it. I've spent so many nights wondering what I could of done differently. It's excruciating. On paper my son had the best start. 2 parents, no divorce, no addiction, middle class, private school ect. I'm wracking my brain to make sense of it. This morning I packed his stuff, and told him if he wants help we will do all we can, but we will not help him destroy himself. He's on suboxone and seems just as bad as ever. And we've found all kinds of other drugs on him. We are just done.
A difficult but good first step. Stay strong. Let us know if we can help 855) 274-1040
I'm going through this now... Kicked my 21 yr old daughter out a week ago. She went directly to her mom's house...mom and step-dad are addicts that introduced drugs to my daughter at 17. Killing me looking back and not doing things differently.
This message is very important.
Love this. Thanks Karen. Us Moms need a clear voice. You are a guiding light for me.
Many thanks how to look at the world
Thank you for this message! I have an adult son who doesn't want to quit no matter what I say or do or not do! It's a very difficult situation.
Are you looking for resources?
Great video
I feel like we need so many more Karen videos! So direct. So true. So clear on how to work the steps. As a woman in al anon for years you have such a clear way of explaining to people who are struggling and new to these concepts. Bravo!
Yes and the fact that she has gone through it herself. She understands being mother of addict. She knows the pain etc.
Powerful message! Thank you Karen and the Tree House team. The 'Blame' creeps in making me doubt myself/my actions. Practicing rerouting my thoughts to the 3 C's -didn't Cause it, can't Cure it, and can't Control it.
God I love this woman! She makes so much sense! Thank you Karen!
Well done Karen. This is a terrific beginning.
Thank you...thank you so much...this is a battle I never thought I'd face
Thank you so much!!
You are so right ❤
Karen
Thankyou so so much x
Thank you ❤
Thank you! Our daughter is in need of help. Is this treatment center for men only? 🙂
My son needs medical attention however, refuses to go to the hospital. Any suggestions. Thank you
If you email me I can give you some resources and they will work with your son to try and get him in. Sometimes outside folks can do more than close family. I hope he's actually made some progress.
I also have 3 sons.
Somtimes the Parents are the only one to blame a lot of crappy parents out there , if you got divorced it's your fault your childs an addict . Sorry parents time to take BLAME FOR YOUR FAILED CREATION.
Absolutely there's a lot of mistakes that are made by wounded people. And unfortunately what regardless of what happened to me growing up I am now responsible for growing and changing it's the same whether it's my parents I hate or it's myself I hate.
