The anxiety a woman can feel when she is faced with drug addiction and being a mother is off the scale… so we stay where we are, struggling through as best we can. Hoping we don’t lose our children. This creates so much stress which adds to the vicious cycle of addiction… the head work is unbearable, the lying and hiding never ends, the hoops we jump through are many and the addiction progresses….
Let’s help the women to get the help they need and help their children, let’s stop running them into the ground with our ideas of how a society should be and let’s ask THEM what they need!
Supporting the mother protects the child. 💜
For many women, the fear of losing their children stops them from asking for help.
Our research shows that the trauma of separation often leads to a cycle of despair rather than recovery.
We believe that mums deserve support that offers hope and dignity, not judgment. We need systems that acknowledge this complex grief and offer connection.
