Heather Bell, Josh Solem
You do NOT want to miss this episode! Every parent who suffers from the disease of addiction has guilt and shame surrounding their kids, but what do kids think? We have the absolute HONOR of having Josh's oldest son, Ben, on today. The episode will start with Josh describing his parenting before his use started, while he was using (and the 2 years he was completely absent), and now in recovery. He'll walk us through all of the emotions and how he often felt that his boys were better off without him. We will then hear it from Ben's perspective and how he, now 16, sees addiction as well as his dad. What does their relationship look like today?! You will hear what worked, what didn't, and other advice that will give parents, loved ones, and kids hope!
