✨⭐️💫This is the power of love✨⭐️💫

My 18 year old grandson lived a trauma filled life. By the time he was 12 he was given up by his mother, sent to another province to live with no family or friends close by and ended up in child protective services. From there, he was gang initiated in Edmonton and that’s where his life of drug addiction started.

We got him back home when he was almost 17. We showered him with love and belief and gave him the one thing he wanted the most. To belong. Now he has reached out for help. He is getting off hard drugs and working through trauma. Needless to say I cried until I had no more tears when I see this picture. He drew it of how he now see himself ❤️🙌🏻

Let’s focus on what we can control. We are here to support you!

Sometimes young people blame themselves for pressures they are feeling, rather than seeing that they are caused by external forces. If your child is putting a lot of pressure on themselves, try talking to them about focussing on things they can control.

I love this because we worry too often about how other people think we’re going to handle our problem which only makes the problem worse. You get double wammied.

It costs you nothing but could mean everything to someone else. 💛
