Millions of young people and children suffer every day from their parents who are alcoholic or addicted to drugs. If your parents have this habit, you may be embarrassed, frustrated or angry with them.
So,why did they become like this?
First of all it is important that you understand the root of the problem. It will help you if you know the reasons why they are addicted to alcohol and drugs and why it happens.
An alcoholic is not just a person who gets drunk from time to time. Instead, it is a kind of long-term problem about drinking alcohol. He has no other thinking but alcohol and he can no longer control his drinking. That can cause harm. in health, family and employment.And sometimes there are some people who are easily addicted to alcohol because their body is looking for it.
But most people know that drinking alcohol and taking drugs can only aggravate problems, thoughts, and emotions.
Sometimes these problems come to the limit and others get to understand and be patient with what is happening to their parents. But other people are no longer dependent on their parents' change, especially if it has affected their thinking. and emotions. But also remember that as long as there is a visible change in your parent you can also do something to help them.
Here are some suggestions,advised and steps on how to deal with it...
Your parent and no one else is responsible for his or her addiction. So you have no obligation to fix his or her life or cover up their wrongdoing.
Maybe your parent's problem is that they need to admits they have a problem. Talk to them and those around you about what he or she can do to avoid bad habits.
You can avoid your parents if they become violent when addicted to drugs and alcohol. Go to a safe place with a family member and wait for everyone to calm down.
Some young people feel guilty because of the condition of their parents who are addicted to bad habits. This is especially normal and most people feel that they are not able to help them in such a situation. But think that there are more people who can help your parents control emotions and have the right knowledge of this type of person.
Asking for help from friends, experts and relatives of older people around you. Do not be afraid or shy to approach them for help about your parent's condition.
"Even if you do not control the situation in your home, you can control your reaction to it. Instead of controlling your parents, you can control yourself. Have a positive outlook on life about who can help and how to stop bad habits of your parents."
Just a basic tips for a member of the family,as i mention, experts have the right to handle this kind of issue and problem.
just a suggestion...it's not your role to convince them to get help. an individual must ask for help on their own will, or relapses are highly likely. it's a subtle difference.
