Learn2Cope

I was just thinking on my lunch break about what makes LTC different. The difference being what worked for me. I have tried other programs.

Different from the other programs for families is the acknowledgment that as a parent, there is a multi-faceted affect on us when we are dealing with an addicted child. To learn only what we can do as far as detachment and enabling empowers us and helps us learn what we are doing that is contributing to the continued progression of active addiction-but as parents with sick children of any sort, we are compelled by nature to educate ourselves about what ails our children. We are compelled by nature to learn about cures and/or treatments for our sick children. We are compelled to care about other people’s children falling victim to such devastation.

We by nature, are not able to leave a sick child flailing without learning about where, how and if they can be treated. We may not be able to make them better, but we are compelled to learn how they might get better.

For me, recovery was still out of my grasp until I was treated as a whole parent.

We are persons - but we are parent persons and by nature, that makes us more complex than just one.

LTC acknowledges and addresses the whole parent.

This for me, was the MAJOR difference - the difference - that made the difference!
