This Will Be the Last Time: Jessica and Kayden on Rebuilding a Mother-Son Bond After Addiction

When Kayden was 13, he stood outside a church and told his mom this would be the last time. Nine years later, he's a 23-year-old homeowner and mail carrier, and Jessica is a family peer mentor pouring everything she learned back into her community. In this honest conversation, the two share what it took to rebuild their relationship after years of addiction, prison, and living apart, including the grandma who held space for them both, the husband who refused to give up, and the daily work of hard conversations, healthy boundaries, and showing up again and again.Learn more about the Public Children Services Association of Ohio and the work Mike & Ashley are doing at https://www.pcsao.org.Jessica and Keyden gave us their full permission to share their story in this format.
