Have you ever felt judged, shamed, or hopeless because of your child’s addiction? When my son was in active addiction, I felt like I was going to die from the pain of my broken heart. Addiction forces families into crisis mode, facing overdoses, legal issues, and impossible decisions. I’m Donna Marston, founder of Sharing Without Shame, CRSW, and Family Recovery Strategist. Through my podcast, coaching, workshops, and books, you'll learn about boundaries, coping skills, and why self-care isn’t selfish. If you're ready to move past your pain, join me and start your healing journey today!
