For parents, the consequences can be severe
Cofield expanded on how parents with addictions can cause long-term issues for children. “Relationships with children are often significantly impacted due to the neglect and behaviors associated with the addiction. It’s very common for parents who struggle with drug addictions to be abusive,” he says. “Children, depending on their age, may not understand what their parents are going through and may feel like they do not love them or care more about their addiction than they care about them. This could also lead to the children acting out for attention.”
