How Much of a Role Does Drug & Alcohol Abuse by Parents Play in Developing Addiction in Children?
Question by Shawn: How much of a role does drug & alcohol abuse by parents play in developing addiction in children?
F.e – If both of your parents were heavily into drugs and alcohol ( mother smoked and did cocaine while pregnant) how does this affect their offspring in developing addictions (whether it be drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. Also, on the fathers side – his father was heavily addicted to alcohol at one point. As well as the mother on his mothers side being addicted to alcohol. Deep down I know the answer but I guess I am looking for someone to put this into perspective a bit. I also don’t know exactly how much more likely this would be (marginally or exponentially) Thanks

Spending time with drug-users will make you a drug-user being in a drug-using family means more time with drug-users. Being the fetus in a drug-using pregnancy is still doing drugs. It may be morally different for the fetus but aside from that it’s identical.
Anyone in a situation like this needs help. Three sources of help spring to mind: Alcoholics Anonymous, Child Protective Services, and God. Each of them has their own ways of helping and each has their own strengths. I recommend reaching out to each of them.
