When Your Child's Addiction Becomes Your Own.
By Elaine Altman-Eller
Continued from yesterday...
3) Believing the addiction means something about you.
Self-blaming causes guilt, anger, regret, and a sense of inadequacy as a parent. Identifying with your child’s addiction - either feeling responsible for fixing it or unable to face it. The key is not gaining control or changing the addiction. It is understanding you have no control over the addiction. You do, however, have power; the power to let go.
