I will let you know, Caroline. I wish I had known better how to help my brother that struggled with addiction before he passed away 💔😢. I tried to support him as much as I could but have learned so much more since his death
Really good points about rescuing/enabling. I remember someone asking me if their mother could be "forced" to enter rehab. The answer that was uncomfortable for the person to hear from me was "No, You can't force them". I think people get desperate and don't understand that even a using family member still can't be forced to get clean with some tough love. When they are ready, they are ready.

I just upgraded. I find your recording very informational. I’m an author, writing about Complex PTSD. Would love to connect with you.
Thanks so much for the support. I'd love to learn more about you and your work. I'm also digging into C-PTSD as well because I have much to learn!
I LOVE that you are having these conversations! What a gift! Thank you for your important work!
Thanks, friend. I'm so hopeful that one conversation at a time we can shine a light on the recovery journey for and with families and loved ones.

It is such a tough conversation to have, but one we need to keep having. How can we support our loved ones?
