Should I Use Tough Love?

Should I Use Tough Love With My Child Who Is Using Substances? Using “tough love” is one of the most commonly-suggested ways to deal with a son or daughter’s substance use. But often, if your child is struggling with drugs or alcohol, that’s the time that he or she is at their most vulnerable. It might be when a parent’s love, support and understanding could be of the most benefit. It’s not an easy task, to help and try to not intensify a conversation when you’re a parent in this position. But there are ways to show your son or daughter that you’ll be there when they’re ready to get help.

Good company, Bad company - May 2019 Newsletter

May 2019 Newsletter  Abe S.  Good company, Bad company       "It wasn't long before I knew I was in trouble." Hi, My name is Abraham Stegall, and I have a long history of substance abuse and addiction. When I was young my parents were missionaries. I spent several years growing up in the field on the island of Cyprus. These were hard years for me. We were almost completely immersed in the culture. At school I would soon discover that I was a target, and in order to protect myself I fell in with a rough crowd. I began to smoke and drink at a very young age and brought these habits home with me when we returned to the States in 1995.      This was the beginning of a cycle that would last from the time I was twelve years old until I came to His Mansion on September 17, 2017.      Read more Servant Leaders     Are you or someone you know a young adult (18-35) who desires to SERVE THE BROKEN and wounded while being CHALLENGED TO GROW?
