They've been living this way for a decade, and it takes like three or four years to get back on track.
And I wish I could say there's some way to do it in six months, but that's just sort of what I've seen.
And so for the parents who are in a really dire situation, I think instead of focusing on really where you want to go, just try to take a couple steps forward.
And that's really when the momentum can really start to change.
Remember, there's a difference between acceleration and velocity.
And sometimes parents who are really far behind, they want to move really fast.
But the real question is, what's the direction you're going in?
And I've worked with people who have been, you know, addicted to substances since they were 15.
They're now like in their mid 30s and they're getting sober for the first time in their life.
And it takes time.
And the one thing that I would say to parents who are really feeling like this is an unsolvable situation, one is it's a good idea sometimes to get professional mental health support.
The second is that your child, generally speaking, is probably still relatively young.
And I've seen people put together their lives at 35, at 38.
I kind of did it around 28.
You know, I finished school at 35.
And so it's kind of strange, but just move in the right direction.
Don't give up hope.
It may take time.
I certainly hope so, because that's what I'm doing with my kids.
So I have a six year old and an eight year old.
