HOW DRUGS AFFECT FAMILIES
If someone feels really bad, they might try to make it better by abusing drugs. Unfortunately, that doesn't usually work for very long. Instead they may become addicted to drugs, and then feel even worse than before. Drug abuse not only affects the abusers and their life, but also the lives of family members.Fathers, mothers, single parents, couples straight or gay, regardless of ethnicity or social group, rich or poor….drug abuse can destroy relationships. When a person has a drug problem, they have a disease that can hurt the family. Drug abuse puts a lot of stress on parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents—anyone who is part of the home.
When family members take drugs:
You can't count on them to do what they say they will do.
They may forget or get distracted because their focus is on getting and taking drugs.
They might lie or steal money to buy drugs.
They might get fired from their jobs.
They might not come home at night.
They may conflict with their partner, their children and conflict over money.
They may become violent with their family including slapping,hitting, smashing or throwing objects.
They may do bad things they would never do if they weren't abusing drugs.
Family members might fight a lot because of the problems the drug abuse is causing. The drug user might do and say things that upset neighbors and friends, and make the family ashamed. Some people who are addicted don't believe that they are sick and out of control, so they don't look for treatment. They don't see the problems they are causing themselves and those around them. They often blame others when things go wrong. The drug user gets so much attention that others are neglected. Rows and bad language upset the peace. If peace and love are the oxygen of life, then the whole family is gasping for breath.
