Summary
No one ever said parenting was an easy job. There's a lot of work that goes into helping kids grow into functioning, stable adults, and as referenced in this week's highlighted story from Tana Amen's new book, sometimes even unconditional love isn't enough. Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen draw on one of the most dramatic stories from "The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child" to illustrate how hard a child's life can be when addiction is present in the household, as well as what happened when the Amens were unexpectedly thrown into parent/caretaker roles for someone else's children.
