Heather Ross is a solo mom of a child who struggles with addiction. She also coaches moms on how to deal with addiction in themselves and their children.

She reminds us that:

• addiction affects the whole family
• it doesn't only involve drugs or alcohol
• it's easy to miss the signs
• addiction is a family problem
• your reaction to your child's addiction could be because of your own personal experience

If you or your child is struggling with addiction, please reach out to someone who can help. Also, Heather can be reached at Heather Ross Coaching

Don't Parent in Silence

Hello Solo Moms. As a solo mom of three adult sons, I understand the challenges you face on a daily basis. As a mentor, my mission is to help you shift your mindset and empower you to take control of your life, to see yourself as God sees you. I know that unresolved trauma can be a heavy burden to carry and parenting alone can be a lonely journey, but it doesn't have to be that way. I want you to know that you are not alone. You have the strength and resilience to overcome your challenges and create the life you desire.
