About this episode
Ali shares her story of growing up with a parent who struggles with addiction and behaviors associated with it. Ali candidly talks about how she learned to cope and how difficult it was for her to come to terms with some of her mother's behaviors. We discuss the unique and powerful bond from child to mother and how we can compartmentalize to protect our own sanity. Ali describes one of her coping skills as controlling food. She shares her story of programs did not help as much as they could have. Erika also discloses some of her own history with disordered eating.
