Parenting Through Your Adult Child's Addiction: Making Sense of Treatment, Aftercare, and Recovery Recommendations, Paperback

If only you could control the outcome...
No parent imagines their tiny infant growing up to have an addiction. Your once precious child now makes frightening choices and takes terrifying risks. You are worried your son or daughter's use of drugs or alcohol has reached a sufficient level of concern that you are exploring or have already admitted your adult child to treatment.
You are hard-wired as a parent to love, provide, protect, nurture, and rescue your young, just like every other mammal. You've ranted and punished, cried and pleaded, and it may have felt like nothing seemed to matter. Yet here you are, trying to learn what you can do to support your loved one without revealing the resentments, doubts, fears, and expectations you harbor.
Must it get even worse before it gets better?
