"Who do I save?" Protecting all your kids when one struggles with addiction (with Kathleen Cochran)

When one child is struggling with addiction, the fear and focus can consume everything — but what happens to the other kids in the house, the siblings who are angry, the ones who seem fine but aren't?In this episode, Kathleen Cochran, a mother and founder of Moms For All Paths to Recovery talks about one of the hardest and least-discussed realities of family addiction: how do you show up for all of your children when one of them is in crisis?Kathleen speaks honestly about the impossible triage of parenting under pressure — protecting one child while not losing another, supporting the siblings who are angry, grieving, or quietly holding everything together, and recognizing the weight carried by the child who always seemed fine. She also opens up about the guilt that comes with realizing you unintentionally forced your other children to grow up too soon and carry the burden of being the parentified child. This episode is for parents in the thick of trying to save their child but realize their other children need their support too, and parents who are ready to rebuild their relationship with their kids.📘 Download our FREE, sibling e-book: 6 actions to help navigate a sibling’s substance use journey🤝Join our FREE and PRIVATE sibling-focused community: Siblings For Love of Recovery📲Connect with FLOR: Instagram and TikTok🎙Guest speaker: Kathleen Cochran, founder of "Moms for All Paths to Recovery" Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/momsforallpaths/ Join our live discussion on July 1st at 4pm EST / 7pm PST Learn about how Narcan (Naloxone) saves lives: https://www.cdc.gov/opioids/naloxone.html
