Show Notes

On today’s Special Parent Series, Joanna talks to Stephanie Fierman about what it was like to parent her son Michael through his addiction. While Stephanie and her husband both had ongoing involvement with recovery support groups, they still were not prepared when their own son Michael began reaching for drugs as a teenager. With the gift of hindsight, Stephanie shares what warning signs they missed, and discusses the isolation and shame the family felt during that time. Tune in to hear how Michael eventually found lasting sobriety and what advice Stephanie has for parents who are walking the same road.
