Recovery is Relative: Kassie Perkins, Miss for America 2020

 For anyone who has experienced the trauma of a parent with an addiction, it can cause a lot of pain, anguish, and distrust within the entire family. And as a child, it’s extremely hard to understand why a parent won’t stop using drugs or alcohol.

Even after a parent has gotten sober, the resentment and anger can easily become lifelong baggage and negatively influence your own life and relationships for years down the road.

Kassie recently partnered with American Addiction Centers for a special series – Recovery is Relative. In the series, she shares insight from her family’s journey from addiction to recovery.
