Loving a child struggling with addiction means making heartbreaking choices that defy instinct and logic
What would you do to save your child from self-destruction? It’s a question parents of addicts ask themselves every day, and it’s the question at the heart of Four Good Days. The film tells the story of a mother and daughter locked in the relentless cycle of addiction and recovery, where every decision feels like the wrong one.
Deb, the mother, loves her daughter Molly fiercely. But after years of lies, manipulation, and broken promises, her love is no longer simple. She’s learned the hard way that her natural instincts as a mother—to nurture, protect, and forgive—might be doing more harm than good. This is the torment of parenting an addict: love becomes a double-edged sword, forcing parents to choose between following their gut and taking actions that go against every fiber of their being.
