Drug Addiction Within family…..Need Help?
Question by Sara L: Drug Addiction Within family…..Need Help?
So i have a cousin of mine that well i consider my first one but he is my mom’s. The problem is that he is on drugs constantly and he does all the hard ones from what he has told me this Saturday when i first met him in 15 years. He seemed to be sober at the time, but everyone tells me just wait and see how he does. I just want to see him after i graduate high school and before i leave for college that would mean the world to me. I just wish there was a way to cope with the fact that i can’t help him not do drugs and alcohol. He probably wouldn’t listen to me but all of this came to me in a little bit of time leading up to me actually seeing him face to face. I love him cause he’s family i just wish i could tell him before he gets himself into trouble and goes back to jail for drugs. Help please?

Children need to trust the adults in their lives and to believe that they will support them. Children living with alcohol or drug abuse in the family can benefit from participating in educational support groups in their school student assistance programs.
