The second thing that you should know is that . .

This is NOT your fault

Did you know that 1 in 7 adults has an alcohol or drug problem
It's very common. Your parent may be one of these.

Yet it can be easy for young people to blame themselves for their parents' problem. Perhaps you've done this sometimes.

But hold on a minute Let's just check this out a moment . .

How can YOU make your mum or dad use alcohol or drugs?

Well? - Could you MAKE them eat ice cream every day? - Of course not.

You can't. They only abuse drugs or alcohol when THEY WANT TO!

This is not your fault It never was.
