Description
Trying to parent with someone in Active Alcoholism is nearly impossible! Ask me! I did it for years and even the best mama can get so overwhelmed by….. Gaslighting. Minimization. Confusion. Frustration. Anger.

In this episode, we’ll explore the heartbreak of unilateral parenting with an alcoholic husband.
