Hello Gen X Parents,

I’m writing this letter to you because I want to help you as much as I can with a touchy sensitive subject that greatly affected my life and I pray that it doesn’t affect yours. “That moment we found out our son was on drugs“, is the name of my podcast that launched this week. This episode is our sons journey through his eyes, which a lot of the actual details, I actually was hearing for the first time. Listen, I know that we are doing our best with what we have to raise our children. This is a no judgement zone, but we do have to take a moment, stop chasing the lifestyle and pay attention to what is happening with our children. Even if you don’t think it is a big deal, take note of any changes with your children. It may or may not be, “just typical teenager” behaviour. Use that God-given gift called intuition.  

I found this article, which I think has great information, titled “5 Tips for Parents of Those Struggling with Addiction” that you should check out if you even suspect that your child is an addict. The article talks about strengthening the relation, as well as creating and reinforcing consistent guidelines. Click the article’s title to read.
