I Can Fix This – And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves, with Kristina Kuzmič

Ep. 244 | Kristina Kuzmič had harbored some denial about her oldest son’s depression, anxiety and substance use. “Lots of kids have problems. Maybe everything will work itself out,” she thought. That denial ended abruptly the night she had to call the police. Neighbors she hadn’t even met yet stared from their driveways as her son was pushed into a police car, swearing loudly at her. Her three-word response to the shame and guilt she felt that night may just help change the way you view the world. Kristina went on to write the book “I Can Fix This: And Other Lies I’ve Told Myself While Parenting My Struggling Child”. Her son, now in recovery, encouraged her to write every gritty detail of the family’s struggles — and wrote the final chapter himself. In this interview, Kristina brings the charm and humor that won Oprah’s reality TV show to crucial issues facing parents with kids who are struggling. We discuss the power of shared experience in support groups, why she danced the night away as her son was in the psych ward, why the “good kids” in families often suffer in silence, and how parents can connect to them despite their sibling’s struggles.
