“Although everyone’s journey with this is different, there are just some things every single parent of an addict can feel in their bones and relate to in your words. I felt like you were speaking to me and that you GOT ME. I felt understood and seen.”
“I am an expert in addiction, I have been cited and given awards many times. But I had no idea what to do when my own sons became addicted. I wish I had had your short stories and I hope that every parent reads this even before their kids develop a problem”
“When I read your stories I cried. I felt like I was in the process and on the journey with you and your family. It is a reflection of what I have been witnessing and experiencing with my own family. I love your conversational writing, I love the links to resources or where to find help. I love how real it is. It’s not full of scientific mumbo-jumbo that families cannot wrap their head around while they are in the midst of this crisis.”
“Thanks for sharing this with me. Incredibly powerful and valuable. Truly. You’ve captured so many realities and truths herein. It is likely to inform and empower parents/family members to make a difference and give them hope in tough times.”
