EP115 Q&A Should I Kick Them Out?
Manage episode 479759119 series 2856917
Today we’re tackling one of the most painful questions parents face when their child is struggling with substance use - "Should I kick them out?"
You’ll hear why this question is far more complicated than it’s often made out to be and why it deserves careful thought, not quick advice based on outdated, stigmatized ideas like "tough love" or "rock bottom."
In this episode, Heather shares:
- Why the words we use when making hard decisions affect how we feel and show up
- What factors to consider before asking your child to leave, including safety, emotional health, and recovery capital
- How to recognize when fear, guilt, or pressure might be influencing your choices
- What it looks like to thoughtfully create a transition if your child can’t safely stay at home
- Why honoring your own values and your child's right to self-determination leads to decisions you can live with
If you’ve ever felt trapped between two terrible options, letting chaos continue in your home or kicking your child out into the unknown, this episode will help you decide what’s best for you and your family.
