What do you say to your children when their dad is struggling with alcohol?
How much do they need to know?
And how can you protect them—without damaging their relationship with him?

In this episode, we’re tackling one of the hardest parts of being the wife of an alcoholic with children: setting healthy, loving boundaries that keep your kids safe, informed, and emotionally supported.

You’ll learn:

• Why boundaries are essential for kids living in a home with addiction

• How to talk about Dad’s drinking in an age-appropriate, grace-filled way

• Three practical ways to teach emotional boundaries without making kids feel responsible

Whether your kids are tiny or teens, this episode offers guidance, language, and perspective to help you lead with love while protecting their hearts.

💛 Bonus Mention: Inside the Secret Sisters Circle, you’ll find deeper coaching and resources specific to each age group—designed to help your children navigate this situation with truth, grace, and emotional safety.
