Don't Let Your Kids Kill You: A Guide for Parents of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children

Description

This is the first and only book on the market that focuses solely on the hurting parent and not the errant child. It is strictly for parents, and written by a parent who has gone through the heartbreak of two children on drugs and has survived to write about it. With a common sense approach, Rubin shows parents how to regain a footing in their own lives, and how to regain those elusive values called health and happiness. It also encourages a parent to give up the erroneous idea that the child's addiction is the parent's fault: the average parent is not, regardless of public opinion, the architect of the raging addict her or his child has become. Includes: * actions parents can take when loyalty to their children becomes their own downfall * how parents who are sacrificial lambs thwart positive outcomes * how the recovery of the parent can inspire the recovery of the child * how to evaluate your mental, physical, emotional and financial health * how to set boundaries * how to deal with relatives who condemn you for your Tough Love methods * how to find the support groups * how to transform insane situations into sane ones One reading and the healing begins, because this book accompanies the parent every step of the way toward liberation.
