Knowing what we know now, and looking back at all these years, all the signs were on the wall. We saw what was going on with her, had the "gut feelings", but didn't do anything about it. We could have intervened earlier in her life but didn't. And we're devastated by it.
In this episode, we chat more with Gabbie about some of the warning signs that we as parents ought to more pay attention to. These are some of the very things that led up to her eating disorder and mental health issues.

Just like Heather and I, every other parent wants nothing more than to enjoy a healthy and thriving family. From the beginning, their goal is to raise kids who are healthy, respectful, and most of all, loving. They want nothing more than to have a family who loves each other and supports each other throughout their entire lives, hoping to avoid any major issues or pitfalls throughout their lives.
But what happens when everything seems fine on the surface, but under the covers, there's so much more that's happening that's gone undetected for weeks, months or even years?
In this episode, we chat with a very special guest about their long battle with mental health disorders and how they decided to start their journey of healing.

FAMILY FRIDAY EPISODE
Do you dread the holidays? As in, Thanksgiving isn't until 5 more days and you are already sweating with stress and anxiety? Yeah, us too.
Don't get us wrong, we love the holidays. The food, the fun and especially the family. But then there's also the family. Not that we don't enjoy being with our family, but sometimes it can get quite hairy scary! Especially if one, and in our case a few of our kids, struggle with ADHD and other mental disorders.
This conversation is centered around some of our past experiences in dealing with the holidays prior to understanding the ramifications of these disorders, but then we also go into a few tips and tricks that we've learned along the way in hopes that someone else may benefit from our long journey.

MARRIAGE MONDAY EPISODE
"I can't take this anymore?" Have you ever asked yourself that question? No? How about any of these questions?
When will I decide that enough is enough?
How much abuse can I really take?
At what point will I call it quits?
We've been there before. Right where you are. A time and place where you are questioning yourself, "what went wrong in my marriage?" We know the pain staking agony that you are feeling day in and day out. Where you just want it to end. All the lies, the deceit and the abuse. We have felt all of that. And it SUCKS!
How would you like to know when it will end? We have a great conversation about a time in our marriage when it all fell apart and the end was near. Our hopes is that after listening to this episode, it will provide some clarity and hopefully some relief in your current situation.

NEW FAMILY FRIDAY EPISODE: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting both children and adults around the world.
And with October being ADHD Awareness Month, we are going to be dedicating the next 5 Family Friday Editions focusing and bringing attention to ADHD with hopes that we can shed a bit of light onto the disorder with our journey with it, and in some ways, attempting to normalize it in order to help you not feel alone with your struggles as well.
In this episode, Heather and I (Dale) had a good chat discussing how I have struggled with ADHD for most of my life, why I decided to finally get tested for it, and what has happened ever since.
Have you struggled with ADHD? Or maybe you think you have it, but aren't really sure you do. This episode just may answers some questions you may have about it.
We hope you find this episode helpful and that you tag and share it with 3 people who may benefit from it as well.
