Episode 7: Alice
This episode is hard. We talk about Alice’s son’s mental illness, drug addiction, police involvement, his homelessness… but it’s also hopeful and encouraging.

Show Notes
When my mother passed away recently, an acquaintance asked my husband if her name was Alice. That’s because Alice is my surrogate mom. I’ve known, loved, and been loved by Alice for 15 years. Ironically, I met Alice when 4-year-old Will went to her house (next door to ours) when we were moving in because he was bored. I knew some of her story as a mom of a struggling child but I learned a lot more when we sat down to talk about it.
