Don'T Let Your Kids Kill You: A Guide for Parents of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children - Softcover
This is a self-help recovery guide for parents in the devastating situation of realizing that they are powerless to stop their children from self-destruction through drug and/or alcohol abuse. It is dedicated to letting parents know when it is time to start saving themselves from being dragged along to destruction as well, and to providing skills that prevent it. The book relies on spiritual but practical teachings and the message is for parents to attain a healthy balance in their lives through the letting go process. While showing parents how to safely distance themselves from the child's destructive patterns, it also shows how to recognize and support healthy requests for real help, if and when they come. It includes anecdotes and quotes from parents who have had to cope with kids on drugs and/or alcohol.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. DON'T LET YOUR KIDS KILL YOU is not written by a psychologist or a therapist. It is written by an ordinary parent who watched in horror as his two children were swept away by the insidious and powerful tide of drug abuse. As any parent who has an alcholic or drug addicted teenager knows, the overwhelming feeling of helplessness can drive you to despair. This book clearly defines both your parental responsibility and your limits. It teaches you to "let go and let God" - one of the basic tenets of such support groups as Al-anon and Tough Love. If you are frightened and confused by the self-destructive behaviour of one of your children, if you do not know where to turn for help, read this book. It just may be the first step back to a sane life in which you reassert your right to a happy and fulfilling existence even if your child continues to pursue the road to hell. Now updated and revised, Rubins landmark guide for parents of drug and alcohol-addicted children shows parents how to regain health and happiness, and how to give up the idea that their childs addiction is their fault.
