How do you know when typical teenage behavior has become something much more serious?

In Part 1 of this three-part conversation, Hollywood director Mark Rosman (Keep Coming Back, A Cinderella Story, Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens) shares the deeply personal story of discovering his daughter's addiction—and the warning signs he and his family almost missed.

Mark opens up about the denial, fear, and uncertainty that so many parents experience when addiction enters the family. He also explains how years of successful filmmaking ultimately led him to create Keep Coming Back, a feature film inspired by his family's recovery journey.

The early warning signs of addiction that many parents overlook
Why denial is such a common response
