Our speaker for this month's Free Q&A will be Athena - a hardworking, devoted mother who came to Solutions at one of the most terrifying moments of her life.
Her son Lio was in crisis — sleepless, dysregulated, and unreachable — and despite her fierce love and relentless effort to protect him from the world (and the world from him), nothing was working.
The parenting that had worked beautifully with her other child only seemed to hurt this one. She found herself doubting her instincts, her husband, and her ability to reach the boy she knew was still in there.
She told our team she was willing to do anything — even if it meant he'd hate her forever — as long as he would live.
Today, Lio calls her when he's frustrated. He calls her when he succeeds. He trusts her more when she apologizes — and she keeps getting better at both. The path was hard, and the work continues, but the transformation in their relationship is real. Athena joins us at this Solutions Circle to share her journey firsthand — because she knows what desperation feels like, and she knows what's possible on the other side of it.
