KEY TAKEAWAYS:

 

• Families often struggle because the concept of “self-care” is foreign to the parents. Yet, a healthy family is dependent upon the wellness of the adults. Understanding that there is no perfect parent relieves some parents' guilt.
• When you learn that you are not alone in the difficulty you are experiencing, healing and self-care begin.
• Changes made in small, incremental amounts are likely the changes that will become a part of your story.
