Is your loved one’s relapse making you believe they don’t want recovery?

If you’re a parent or family member watching your child relapse again and again, it can feel like they don’t want help, leaving you exhausted, fearful, and ready to walk away. This episode breaks down why repeated relapse isn’t proof of hopelessness, but often part of recovery—and how staying connected can become the bridge your loved one needs toward stability.

• You will learn why relapse does not mean your loved one is beyond help, even if it happens over and over.
• You will understand the research-backed truth that recovery is rarely a straight line, reducing the shame and fear you may carry.
• You will discover how staying connected with healthy boundaries can increase your child’s chance of finding stability, while preserving your own wellbeing in the process.

Listen now to discover how your love, presence, and belief can become the lifeline your child needs to recover, even when relapse happens.
