Our instincts as parents are to care for and protect our children, and that is a good thing. But sometimes, this instinct can become a destructive force. It can consume us mentally and emotionally and it can cloud our judgment. It can hurt us as parents, damage relationships and ultimately it can hurt the children we are trying to help.
This is an educational video for parents that will cover codependency as an addiction with Tree House Recovery’s own Karen Willock who runs Tree House Recovery's National Family Progam and Vechi Mutum.

00:22 - and Background of Speakers
00:57 - What Is Codependency
02:00 - Similarities to Addiction
02:35 - Symptoms Of Codependency
03:00 - Listening Skills
03:55 - Conditioning of Codependency
04:21 - Triggers to Regression
04:46 - What's happening in the Body and Brain,
05:00 - How to stop trigger to regression
06:30 - Early stage of recovery, What to watch out for
07:40 - Couples with Codependency
09:00 - How to Began Healing
10:03 - Origins of Codependency
11:12 - Developing Boundaries with Child
11:58 - Women - Addressing Shame
12:30 - Men - Addressing Shame

Our goal is to help you understand what codependency is and the damage it can cause you and your child. This will help you know whether or not you may be codependent and give you strategies you can use to begin healing so you can begin rebuilding healthy relationships and ultimately live a better life.

Only a mother which gone through this can explain it like this woman can. I'm going through this. Nothing has been more painful than letting your adult addict go. Letting go snd letting God is not to be taken lightly.

How much parents love their children and children love their parents? Have you watched the film “Lorenzo’s oil” starring Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon as the parents of a child sick with a rare incurable brain disease who research and work incessantly to find a cure to save their son’s life? That never happened with addiction, the so called “family disease”. Not only parents and children of addicts, likewise psychologists, psychiatrists and rest of humanity, didn’t research the affliction, when just reading the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous (which the mainstream of addiction recovery programs are based on) and being honest to want to understand is enough to understand that addiction is the psychology of a liar, but silence the truth that would save their so called “loved ones”. Are you queuing in the crowded comforting lies or alone in the unpleasant truths? Do you believe addiction is an incurable brain disease that affects young healthy criminals that has never been found or detected by any biological or other means? The only common denominator between all addicts from any social background or distinction is that they are notorious liars. Humanity are dying deceived deceiving living a lie because parents don’t teach their children to be honest because are not honest themselves. The truth is addiction is the tormented psychology of an unforgiving liar, drugs don’t cause addiction and only liars get hooked and only honesty gets freedom. The tragedy of addiction is children who revenge a childhood hurt, or trauma, against their parents learning from example becoming victims of themselves so as to conceal the hatred to hurt others, advertising themselves as victims stealing attention. In life like in psychology events and behaviours happen for a reason. Addiction runs in families because psychologies, behaviours, beliefs and else are transmitted from parents to children, like father like son, because humanity don’t think for oneself, otherwise there would be agreement on the truth. Hate, lie, hurt, ignorance comes from hate, lie, hurt, ignorance and addiction appears in bad families of parents who hurt their children. I am a recovering addict, a fool who knows that is a fool, a wise man. I don’t know much but i know what i know. The truth is stagnated among liars and when the unpublishable truth is published mortality rates would collapse provoking humanity’s addiction recovery, a burst of psychology, guilt, shame that was bottled up, desensitised, ignored in active addiction. The war, nightmare of living a lie would end because would be proven that you are like i impossibility possible miracle God.

True, I want my 27 year old daughter to come clean of her alcohol abuse and drug abuse. It’s heartbreaking to see her spiralling down year after year. Tried the open communication route, tough love route, only to learn the games she plays, lies etc. my question is, how long do I wait for her to recognise there is a problem before it’s too late. It’s unbearable.

I feel for you, I have been walking in my son's addiction for 20 years. I hit rock bottom myself may years ago, my heath was not good, couldn't sleep, depressed you name it. What helped me was stopping the money and went to counseling on my own and also group counseling. You realize you are not alone, it really helped me. All the best, and take care of YOU.❤

This video is pure gold. I work in the field, and in my opinion, addiction is most certainly a family illness. The family needs to also look at and deal with their issues. Unfortunately, in many cases, there is a lot of ambivalence or denial around the family getting help. Nothing changes if nothing changes! Great video!

I am speaking from a spouse's point of view and I have experienced this "punishment" recently because I decided to say no. Mainly because my spouse is not even in a place where he can even cover any of my bills or help with rent at all. I had to let him know I don't have anymore money to be paying for beer. I have bills and rent to pay. Then I said that it feels like you're not satisfied with my company unless I am helping pay for beer to which of course there has been no response. Punishment is a very real way that they try to manipulate and it sickening!!!

Great video that explains the problems we have with our loved ones who misuse substances. I’m not fond of the term co dependency though as there’s too much stigma attached. The centre for motivation and change have incredible programs for family and friends of excessive substance users. We need to work on creating a strong connection with our loved ones with our boundaries firmly in place. I have found it is far better to focus on the behaviour not the substance use.

I followed your advice and went to see this video. Thank you. Even though there are many good explanantions, I feel stupid and guilty now, and unable to go on. It sounds a lot like motherblaming to me. Maybe I still have got a big unsolved problem with being blamed in general for everything. Many of us had traumas as littlel girls, went through abuse outsIde the family, which were never our fault/mistake or sin, we survived abuse and/or heavy bullying because of our own strengh (and maybe there was some luck or Gods will), than latter on, we had to fight through life suffering more stuff, like bad working conditions and in many other ways, being confronted with other bad people, and working a lot in order to provide,and we took care of our children, sacrifying sleep, hobbies thingd and so on. But now, I get the message that we esponsable for not having educated our children properly, not having given them skills to be normal survivers of their own traumas, so that they had to choose drugs. Now, I am told: You still have to work. You canno lean back finally and enjoy yourr life. You have to work throug codependency, spend years in groups, spend more money and time in therapy. I did a lot of work on me, when I was young, avoiding compeletly alcohol, drougs and partylife, stayed away from trouble and did almost never bother my parents, respected them, took care of them, paid for my own therapy. What about the addicted grown up son? Why does he not do what he has to do? Why does he not suffer through his traumas/bad stuff (which he does not name nor maybe know) as I did without taking stupied drougs and alcohol? Furthermore, I really beliefed that I showed him by my example that we have to take into consideration our family members too. That when we take decisiones we must avoid to be selfish and not harm our loving beings by makeing wrong decisions. To take drougs and drink massively is a wrong decision, that is known bey everybody and I told him often enough. My higher power, which is the Christian God clearly says: You shall honour your parents ... To honour your parents means not harming them, taking care of them when they get old and ill and. I am still confused about this idea of having to go on with more work and more work and cure my codependency ... I am so tired, and confused. Nevertehless, I will listen to this video, several times and hope to understand it better. Thanks for the work you do, and the treatment home/ project sounds good to me.

@@TreeHouseRecovery Thank you so much for your kind words. And they resonate with me. We live in Europe, so your treatment center is not a possible chooce for our son, unfortunatelly. I scan youtube and google for channels anf info like yours in the languages i know. We have AA, NA and AlAnon or similiar programs here also, thank God, and well, my son and I have to find each one our groups and treatments/places ... I hope my son will soon be willing to go to a treatment/detox, I know that he has to really want it himself. I am already going to a family group, but I want to try an AlAnon or similar group in addition. Many thanks again for answering and have a good weekend.

I sent this video to my mother, but she’s so depressed that she might not get through this. I feel I can’t help her understand 😢 shuts down, and is negative 🫤 thinks she’s well. Instead shes sad, anxious and depressed. I’m frustrated and sad to see the outcome.
