If your child's behaviour is taking you down a road that is unfamiliar and terrifying, you are being invited to go on a hero's journey. The hero's journey begins when ordinary parenting challenges are a thing of the past, and you find yourself in a world of extra difficult trials and tribulations. These may include your child failing out of school, skirmishes with the law, running away, severe emotional dysregulation, cutting, suicide attempts, eating disorders, promiscuity and pregnancy, hospitalizations, homelessness and addiction. ​

 

WHEREVER YOU ARE ON THIS JOURNEY, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

 

I also have a son who struggles, so I know from lived experience that the journey of the heroic parent is also an ambiguous grief process. In order for the journey to be successful we need the right tools and wise travelling companions. The Heroic Parent Club is a safe space where we can share our stories—and our hard earned wisdom—with each other, thus moving us through our mourning to the final stage of grief: acceptance.
