This Episode is dedicated to my friend Lisa.

A walk with my friend this past weekend helped me realize how hard work through therapy and the 12 Step program has directly contributed to decreased Chaos in my life. Over a spectrum of several years, a consistent focus on developing healthy boundaries, and an increased awareness of personal traits born out of inter-generational trauma, has greatly contributed to a much calmer life for me personally.

The result has been a consistent ability to facilitate calm and positive engagements with my children and a prioritization of self-care. Yes, we still have disagreements and challenges. But the approach to the solution is no longer focused on Right verses Wrong, Control, or Chaos.

My son's entry into the world of Recovery has truly resulted in a better me, which no doubt contributes to a better 'we' within the Family System.
