THE
CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS FOUNDATION -Children
of substance abusers need help making sense of addiction and why
their family has been affected. They need assistance understanding
their parents behavior, which may include abuse and neglect.
They need support as they cope with broken promises, confusion,
anger, loss and bereavement. And they need special help understanding
their own special risk for drug and alcohol abuse.In
the face of these realities, our mantra remains the same: children
of alcoholics and other substance abusers are at risk. But with
help and support, they can be taught to cope with their parents
problems, and break the intergenerational cycle of this disease.
