Someone Who’s Been There, and Found a Way Through

Hi, I’m Donna Marston

I’m a wife, mother of two adult sons, and a parent who knows the heartbreak of loving a child through addiction. I spent years trying to rescue, control, and protect my son — and I learned the hard way that love alone isn’t enough.

I Learned a Healthier Way to Show Up
When I hit my “enough,” I learned to set boundaries, stop unhealthy helping, and take responsibility for my own choices, without guilt or shame. This shift allowed me to reclaim my life while still loving my son.

Sharing Without Shame—Support for Parents Facing a Child’s Addiction

I guide parents who are overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure if their love is helping or hurting. Through workshops, courses, private sessions, and the Sharing Without Shame podcast, I teach parents how to stop unhealthy helping, create family agreements, and regain balance; even if their child isn’t ready to change.
