Alcoholic
Parents
Hello, this is IGL and this post is
about alcoholic parents. Many families have children with adult parents that
are addicted to drinking alcohol. This may cause many family issues and
problems, and tear many relationships apart. Alcohol controls the mind and
body. It changes people’s moods and instead fuel aggressiveness, causing
dramatic mood swings, when people have too much. This is called being drunk. Even
though it leads to such bad effects, the person has to have it because they’re
addicted.
Alcohol, leading to unwanted
incidents, can bring harm and emotional pain to others. Parents may argue over
something small and they can eventually stop cooperation in becoming fatherly
or motherly. Drunken people can physically harm children through their aggressive
and nonsensical actions. Persisting alcoholism can lead to divorce, tearing the
child apart. Keep in mind, this is the alcohol’s doing, not the parent’s for
the most part.
Many times, children may blame
themselves for the alcoholic doings. A parent’s alcoholism is never the
child’s fault. Reasons such as money and business may drive a parent to wine or
beer, but the child/children are never the cause of such actions. If you are someone
just as I described above, it may be hard for you to believe me, but you should
never take the blame for an alcoholic parent.
The Center on Addiction and Family is
a part of the Phoenix House organized for helping families with alcoholic
issues and professional information to recover. They teach these dysfunctional
families on health and positive influences and strength. To spread their cause,
they write articles which can be easily read on their website.
There are many ways to help. You could:
1.
Tell someone about
alcoholism in families
2.
Write an article for the
newspaper or post a flyer
3.
If you are a victim of
alcoholic parents, tell someone and get professional, therapeutic help
4.
Tell yourself and others
that it is not their fault for an alcoholic parent
5.

Addiction and Family organization
Make a
change for alcoholic parents!
