About my journey…

Hi, I’m Kellee and I have been loving my 24 year old daughter who suffers from an addiction for 6 years, and it’s been a hell journey of loneliness, self-blame, shame and so many other bullshit emotions that I never honestly knew existed until now. I am a mother of two, my daughter being the eldest, and a younger son of 19. When I first found out my daughter was using it was just the simple drugs and nothing that was to out of hand, then it got more frequent, more experiences, more of me seeing my daughter’s behaviours changing, grades dropping, and turning into this bloody horrible person.  

My journey went through so many emotions to help my daughter, to understand what was going on and how to deal with them; to bribe, hope, talk, cry, get angry, tuff love, education, turning myself inside out with worry, having a panic attack each time the phone rang, sleepless nights, becoming a queen of making up excuses and explaining how and why my daughter is this way - it was time for me to STOP.

I trawled through the internet googling until you couldn't google any more trying to find the answers, crying out for something to pop out at me at which point I realised that I was becoming an addict in trying to save my daughter, it was killing me, killing my son and my relationships, killing so many areas in my life. 

My rollercoaster journey of over six years led me higher education to help others in a similar situation. I have a CHC51015 Diploma in Counselling and a CHC62015 Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management.

I have searched for like-minded Mumma’s that have had to walk this road of destruction for a long time without finding anything that could measure up to what my emotions and soul desperately needed. Yes, there were a few good sites and online forums that you can chat on, leave comments and read peoples experiences but nothing that was live, interactive and face-to-face - so through the wonders of technology I have developed just that.

Join me on my 10 week course or one-on-one counselling.
