Parents Are Cutting Off Their Opioid-Addicted Kids — and It's the Toughest Decision of Their Lives
Some of you will likely ask why an article about addiction is posted in financial planning. Simple. Addiction can devastate a family financially. I know first hand.
My wife and I are two of the four sets of parents interviewed for this Money Magazine article. Everyone reading likely knows somebody dealing with an addicted family member, close relative or friend. It's a disease that affects the whole family, not just the addict.
We tell our stories to offer education and support to others in the throes of the addiction; to help them avoid the mistakes that many of us made.
The article also offers resources to help parents and other family members get the support they need. If this helps one family avoid financial hardship due to addiction, it's well worth it to us.
