Special episode! Listen in as Alex and her dad, Fred, discuss her stepmom’s active addiction and the challenges he’s faced navigating the chaos. Fred also shares his relationship with alcohol while he and Alex discuss if it’s a healthy one for him. Most of all though, they weigh the all important question - how long do we wait? We love this conversation and hope the telling of his story helps you navigate yours.
