Braids by Cilla

At Tough as a Mother, we often talk about relationship green lights and red flags as it pertains to substance use. As we bring awareness to the co-occurence of substance use disorder and intimate relationship violence, we want you to also learn the red flags of abuse and share them with your community: https://bit.ly/3FpvfO3

We can survive and thrive beyond our circumstances!

Children experience domestic violence in many ways. They may hear one parent threaten or demean the other, or see a parent who is angry or afraid. They may see or hear one parent physically hurt the other and cause injuries or destroy property. Children may live with the fear that something will happen again. They may even be the targets of abuse. Most children who live with domestic violence can recover and heal from their experiences. One of the most important factors that help children do well after experiencing domestic violence is a strong relationship with a caring, nonviolent parent. As a caring parent, you can promote your children’s recovery by increasing safety in the family, helping your kids develop relationships with other supportive adults, and encouraging them in school or other activities that make them feel happy and proud.

This month, Tough as a Mother aims to bring awareness and information about the connection between relationship violence and substance misuse, specifically for parenting and pregnant women. Please keep an eye out this month for resources, and if you or someone you know is silently suffering from substance misuse and looking for a community of support, please check out www.toughasamother.org

For the most part I think I've done a good job with this part. My kids will communicate that they are not comfortable with certain things like being tickled or when someone is being hurtful to them. They stick up for themselves and I'm fu***ng proud of that! 👏

Hearing our children sat no to us can be triggering, but man o man is it important for them to practice. There are so many scenarios in life that need an empowered and confident NO response. Our job as attachment figures is to help our kids fine tune that skill and learn how to use it effectively. #attachment #secureattachment #secureparenting #no #parentingtips #parenting #parentingmindset #gentleparenting #consciousparenting #respectfulparenting #therapistthoughts #therapistadvice #childdevelopment #children #toddlers #kids #teens

Relationship violence can happen to anyone. You don’t have to feel ashamed or embarrassed. Discuss it with a friend, family member, or one of our Colorado-based professionals.
