Living While Loving Your Child Through Addiction

EP79 From Grandparents to Parents, Navigating the Complexities of Relative Caregivers With Guest Catherine Becker


Listen Later

In this episode, Heather speaks with Catherine Becker, founder of the nonprofit group Joys and Challenges of Relative Caregivers, along with her daughter Katie, who shares her perspective as someone in recovery from substance use disorder and a mother whose children were adopted by her parents.

Catherine shares her experience of becoming a full-time parent to her grandchildren. She explains how she started her nonprofit group to provide

support and connection for relative caregivers, and how it has grown to provide financial assistance, programs for families, and a 24/7 online
interactive forum.

Katie shares her emotional experience of losing her children when her parents adopted them, how her mother's love and support helped her get into recovery, and how her recent recovery has brought her back into co-parenting with her mother. Catherine and Katie also discuss how this situation affects relationships with other family members and offer advice for other relative caregivers.
