“I feel the parents on these meetings can relate better than any other interpersonal interaction I have.”
“These meetings are life changing, in terms of how I view myself, my relationships and the world.”
“Having others share their experience deepens my own…as a result of these meetings my relationship with my son has changed.”
“I must admit I am not sure I would be where I am in this journey without these meetings. I cannot say enough…about what it has done for me.”
“In these meetings I also learned more about myself and found a contentment that was allusive for so many years..”
“OPLM groups bring me a sense of connection and help normalize my situation, bolstering my approach to my daily life.”
Stories
Our stories are the real deal — raw, painful and, sometimes, funny… but they’re always insightful and healing. Read and watch stories of other parents like you. And when you’re ready, submit your own.
Blogs
Gratitude is a gift I give myself. Even in the darkest of times, it is waiting there for me to open it and explore what’s right in front of me so that I can appreciate life’s beauty.
I am not always okay and that is hard to say out loud. For years, I disassociated from my life due to trauma. This came in many forms and at often inconvenient times. I didn’t even know how to be present when my life was going well. I found a way to numb my feelings, any feelings, by not seeing it or acknowledging it.
There is a litany of loss for what substance misuse has taken from our family. Finding other parents who understand these losses has been an immeasurable comfort.
