Link – How to Help Teens Affected by Parents’ Substance Use

Ain’t this the truth –

“There are three rules kids grow up with if they live in a home where someone has a problem with alcohol and/or other substances: don’t talk, don’t trust, and don’t feel.”

The article has some really good ideas for helping teens navigate their parents substance abuse issues. The biggest thing for me from reading it was just recognizing that kids growing up like this need help navigating it. Without some help it can be really hard to deal with these issues later on.
