Are your other children silently suffering while all your attention goes to the one struggling with addiction?

When a child is battling substance use, siblings often take on hidden emotional burdens that go unnoticed—leaving them feeling invisible, anxious, or responsible for the chaos at home. This episode unpacks how addiction affects the entire family, especially the children who suffer in silence while trying to hold everything together.

  • Discover the three secret roles siblings often adopt—like the "perfect child" or the "family clown"—and what those roles are really hiding.
  • Learn to identify subtle warning signs that your other children may be struggling too.
  • Gain practical tools to support all your children emotionally and prevent long-term trauma.

Listen now to uncover the emotional reality behind your family dynamic and start supporting every child in your home with empathy and clarity.
