What happens when your instinct to confront your child about substance use only pushes them further away?
If you're a parent grappling with fear, frustration, and confusion while your child struggles with addiction, you're not alone—and your first response might not be helping. This episode offers a raw, relatable look into why traditional confrontational tactics often fail and how a simple shift in communication can start rebuilding trust.
- Hear a realistic father-son role play that reveals how fear-fueled reactions escalate conflict.
- Discover what a support call with a counselor sounds like as they unpack how fear affects parenting responses.
- Learn how connection-focused communication can transform tension into trust—even when things seem broken beyond repair.
Tune in to hear how a struggling father learns to replace fear with empathy—and see what happens when he tries again with a calmer, connection-first approach.
