Surviving and Thriving During the Holidays with an Addicted Child
Surviving and Thriving During the Holidays with an Addicted Child
I have to admit that my heart is really not into the holidays this year. It all just seems like so much effort and so much work when there is such an important part of my life that is not in order. The addictions and behaviors that plague our daughter’s life are in full swing — how can I enjoy myself, have fun, or dare to think of anything other than her, when her life is so out of control right now?
I will tell you how. I have three other children, a wonderful husband, an elderly mother, siblings, and friends and last but certainly not least, myself, to consider. I have a big family for whom life goes on. They deserve to have their full share of their mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend. And I deserve to savor every moment with those I love.
