Many grandparents that are raising grandchildren are also dealing with the bio parent who is in active addiction. I will share my experience with this along with what the 2 sides of that coin really look like and if there are ever any winners! Caution: there may be triggers associated with this episode.

In this episode, I share my experience with behavioral issues that seem absolutely impossible. I will share what I did to redirect behaviors and start to get to the root of the emotions that cause what is deemed bad behavior. For children with trauma induced PTSD, it can seem like walking through a mine field. It is important to understand the whole picture and have an open mind!
