Addiction, Judgment, and Blame
-
Narrated by:

By:
When Presley Gerber died at a rehab facility, the headlines quickly found someone to blame. His parents.
Beth and I know that blame well. My mother-in-law blamed me for my husband's addiction. Strangers have asked us, "Couldn't you have done something?" That kind of judgment never helps. It isolates families. It silences the truth about addiction. And it piles guilt on people who are already carrying more than they can hold.
In this episode, we unpack why people judge, why it reveals their fear more than your failure, and how to protect yourself when it lands.
You'll hear:
- Why judgment is really a form of self-protection
- The Three Cs: You didn't cause it. You can't control it. You can't cure it.
- How to shift from anger to empathy in the moment
- How to support a family in grief
- Why blaming parents keeps us from solving the real problem
If you love an addict, you already carry enough. You do not need to carry anyone else's judgment.
