When Your Addict Is Out of Control | The Real Dope

Holidays can take addiction to another level—and when your addict is out of control, it’s not just exhausting… it can be dangerous. In this episode of The Real Dope, sisters Meridith Elliott Powell and Beth Brand get painfully practical about what to do when an addict starts targeting the most vulnerable person in the family—especially an elderly parent. This conversation was sparked by a real-life call from a friend: an adult sibling, actively using, stealing money and manipulating an aging parent—and the family scrambling to stop the financial bleeding while the parent fights them every step of the way. Meridith and Beth share what they learned the hard way with their own family: boundaries matter, but there are moments when you must intervene—quietly, strategically, and with a paper trail. In this episode, you’ll learn: What “out of control” really looks like (and why addicts often target the “weakest link”) How to protect an elderly parent from financial exploitation and gaslighting Why you may need to “separate the person from the addiction” to act clearly The hard truth: when you cut off pipelines, violence and retaliation can be a risk The emotional reality you need to expect: the addict won’t thank you—and the parent you’re protecting may fight you, too This is the episode you listen to when you’re thinking: “I’ve set boundaries… but now someone’s getting hurt.” ----------------------------- In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, thriving in uncertainty isn’t just an option — it's a necessity.
