Helping parents deal with hard truths during their kid's recovery.

1. Hard Truths
Steps On The Road To (Their)
Recovery
Victoria Kamm Wildly Passionate Parent Advocate

2. My Child Is Not Against Me
We take everything personally. The fact is
our kids are simply for themselves.

3. Control
Success
The more control I seek the less successful I
will be. It only causes my kid to be less
controlled.

4. I Am Not A Victim
So many of us have been victimized by our
children. Shame on them. Being a victim is
something we do to ourselves. Shame on
us.

5. My Dreams Aren’t My Child’s Dreams
Even when they sound alike. The last thing
your kids need to hear is they aren’t fulfilling
your dreams.

6. Nothing Is A Guarantee
When you’re looking for a silver bullet
anything will do: Treatment, therapy, a
specialized court program, tough love. It
leaves out the buy-in from your kids.

7. That’s How I Was Raised
Raise your kids like you were raised? Ain’t
nobody got time for that! Our kids are raised
in a vastly different world. You may not like it
but you will have to deal with it.

8. Feeling Defensive?
If any of these hard truths make you feel
defensive pay close attention. They are the
ones you most need to work on.
