The holidays can bring a lot of pressure for parents and caregivers, especially when you’re supporting someone in recovery.
Many well-intentioned comments are meant to encourage ease or normalcy, but can sometimes land as pressure instead. ❤️🩹
Here’s what we want you to hear:
🫱🏼🫲🏼 You don’t have to say everything perfectly.
🫱🏼🫲🏼 You don’t have to manage the experience.
🫱🏼🫲🏼 You don’t have to prevent every hard moment.
Support isn’t about finding the right script, it’s about offering steadiness, presence, and permission.
Simple phrases that communicate “you’re not alone” often do more than reassurance or encouragement ever could.
If you’re trying your best and leading with care, that already matters more than you think.
🤍 Share this with someone who wants to support well this season.
