A few weeks ago, my son, Jake and I were interviewed about Video Gaming Addiction by journalist, Brandie Weikle for her podcast series, The New Family. This morning that podcast was released, and even though I know the story intimately, I am still learning from my son. I listened again today, and felt so proud for his willingness to share. In this interview, Jake is raw, articulate, and relatable. I have an even better understanding of his journey, once again. And I think in his willingness to share, it will help shed more light on what goes on inside the head of a compulsive gamer through both addiction and recovery for front line workers, parents, teachers, and those who are struggling with this addiction now.
