Parental involvement in controlling drug addiction: My addict is a criminal
It is normal to feel hurt when someone tells you that your child is a criminal or is showing signs of being one. Honestly I won’t take that kindly but when it comes to drug abuse, before you get angry and dismiss in rage the whistle blower about the behavior of your son, investigate. Remember that symptoms of this disease include illegal behaviors and criminality is justified. But as many would become outrageous about such adjectives so will be the consequences of drug addiction. Substance abuse can cause your child to be incarcerated. Be warned and if you don’t heed the warnings, be ready to face up to it. If he has done things wrong under the influence of his addiction, you must be ready to pay the price to the society. It will do you no good to bad mouth the police, judges, prisons, advocates and so on. Remember that this people or institutions did not cause the problem neither did they put him there instead it is his actions that sent him there.
Parental involvement in controlling drug addiction: Others don’t want them around
Isolation is one element that people don’t want to be associated with. However acts of violence and hooliganism arising out of substance abuse often cause people to keep distance from the victims. Therefore if the society feels otherwise and they don’t want them (our addicted children), then they are justified because they have wronged the society and its people. I am in agreement with my fellow parents that we all ore our children that unconditional love, and for sure as an individual I love my children unconditionally, that is the undisputable truth and it will remain that way so long as am still alive. However it is not wrong in any way for friends, brothers, sisters, grandparents, relatives to have their own feelings and pain about this situation. We are all at liberty to make choices and if we make the wrong choices, there will be consequences.
