When children grow up with a parent who abuses substances, they can develop problems that follow them into adulthood. They’re at greater risk for depression and anxiety and often they lack the skills that lead to success and fulfillment. They’re more likely than other children to develop substance abuse problems themselves. By listening and talking, a caring adult can help a child learn that their parent’s drug use isn’t their fault. Also, they can also remind the child that he or she cannot cure their parent’s addiction or make it better. As a child, that is not their responsibility. They can make different, better choices for themselves about substance use, though. Adults who help a child of a parent with a substance abuse problem offer a lifeline that can last a lifetime.
