When Your Child's Addiction Becomes Your Own.

By Elaine Altman-Eller



Three major reasons for this are:



1) Believing you have the power to change or control the person/addiction.
Feeling powerless, you strive for ways to gain a sense of control – life centers around fixing the problem and dealing with the addiction’s consequences.

Attempts to gain control are:
 Becoming a “perfect” parent, supporter, nurturer
Being careful about everything you say and do
 Peacekeeping
Taking care of the child’s needs over your own




Tomorrow Reason 2



To Your Family,
