Some stories… are whispered in the dark.💔
If you’ve ever loved someone fighting addiction, you know this truth:
It’s not just their battle.
It’s yours too.
It’s the sleepless nights.
The unanswered calls.
The ache of watching someone you love disappear into a world you can’t pull them out of.
This isn’t a story people like to talk about. It’s messy. Painful. And brutally real.
But I wrote this book because too many parents, mothers, fathers, and families are quietly drowning in that pain.
📘 “When Loving Them Hurts: A Parent’s Guide to Surviving an Addicted Adult Child” is not about fixing them.
It’s about saving yourself.
It’s about learning how to love without losing your soul.
It’s about setting boundaries, healing your heart, and realizing you are allowed to keep living.
I’ll be at South Texas Author Con on February 14, 2026 at the Mission Event Center from 10 A.M. – 2 P.M.
I won’t just be signing books — I’ll be speaking the truth out loud.
The kind of truth that cracks the silence wide open.
If this story is yours—or someone you love’s—come see me.
You don’t have to carry this pain alone anymore. 💔🕊️
