How to deal with parents suffering from addictions
In today’s society, numerous families deal with many issues. Whether its financial problems, divorce, troubled teens or simply struggling to get by. But there is one major issue that many people choose to ignore.
Addictions, Over 23 million people in the United States are addicted to drugs or alcohol, and over 75% are men and women who have children. It’s a serious matter & this article is going to focus on how to deal with parents who have an addiction.
No matter how much a parent loves their child, or how good of a parent they are, when they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they turn into a completely different person. Besides the fact that they are setting the wrong example for their children, they’re incapable of being responsible, & making the right decisions and that causes the child involved to be the “adult”. Whether it be making their own dinner, or taking care of younger siblings, or making sure their parents are safe. Parents may say hurtful things when they’re under the influence, & act like they don’t love their children. Then when they’re sober, they act like nothing ever happened.
No matter what is said when their influenced, make sure you don’t believe any of it. A lot of people say the truth comes out when you’re drunk, but that’s not always true. Many teens tend to blame themselves for their parents problem, thinking that maybe it’s something they did or said to cause their parents to turn to such harmful behavior. This is not true either. It may be your parent’s way of dealing with their life issues. A lot of children think “well if my mom or dad really loved me, they wouldn’t put me through this”. You can’t think that way. What many teens don’t understand is that when somebody has an addiction, that addiction overcomes everything. Whether it’s family, friends or their jobs.
They stop caring about a lot of things, because the only thing that makes them happy is drugs or alcohol. If it is really serious, then wait until your mom or dads is completely sober, & tell them how you feel. Tell them how you worry about them, how it makes you feel, how you blame yourself, how you don’t like the person they become, simply tell them that they need to get help.
You have to be careful with how you approach an addict, because in most cases, addicts don’t believe they have a problem, so they will feel as though you’re attacking them.
Let them know that you don’t approve of what they’re doing, & it’s ruining your relationship with them. Make sure you let them know that you love them unconditionally, & all you want is for them to be happy and healthy.
That won’t always work because you can’t help somebody that doesn’t want to help themselves. So if you’re in a situation where you’re parent refuses to get help. Just let it go. Always keep in mind that you did the best you could, & you tried your hardest. Remember that you can’t force somebody to change, & always think of how much your parents really love you.
Surround yourself with supportive friends, find a new hobby, and get involved with anything to help keep your mind off the situation. Try not to be around them when they are under the influence, and if you absolutely have to be around them, just think of how strong this will make you in the future.

Unconditional Love – The Manual For Life
Emotionaly Abusive People With The Love Ones
Many children all over the country may have experienced the horror of having to deal with a father who is abusive emotionally. Although this is probably the most commonly occurring form of emotional abuse, it is definitely not the only one. Hundreds and thousands of people have psychological scars caused by a parent, a friend, a sibling or even a spouse being abusive emotionally and these scars are not ones which are easy to heal. Many are hesitant to tell others about a loved one who is abusive emotionally mainly out of fear but also because they think about the stigma the loved one would have to undergo if their true nature is known to the public. Thus a huge number of cases concerning people who are abusive emotionally are not revealed and thus the problem continues to persist in the society.
Covering up or concealing an individual who is abusive emotionally does not provide an answer for the problem.In contrast the problem could steadily worsen and could lead to disastrous events like suicides or even murders. Often victims of emotional abuse, especially children may turn out to be individuals who are abusive emotionally themselves and so this vicious cycle would remain if no answer is found to the problem.
The most common solution to this issue is counseling and services including family counseling exist to treat individuals such as fathers who are abusive emotionally . Professional help is needed to assist an individual in overcoming an abusive personality and although the loved ones of the abusive individual could help him/her to some extent, it is highly improbable that amateur persons could help an individual who is abusive emotionally to successfully overcome his/her abusive nature. It is not at all a hard task to find guidance in dealing with such problems and there are many trained counselors and even organizations all over the country who are dedicated to helping those who are abusive emotionally.
It is not a very hard task to identify an individual who might be abusive emotionally. Generally, an emotionally abusive individual tries to control you, blames and puts you down for no sensible reason, displays physical violence by breaking or smashing things and warns you that he/she will leave you if you disregard their advice.
The influence of a person who is emotionally abusive could leave you with low self confidence, low enthusiasm and could even have a disastrous impact on your physical health and thus emotional abuse is a problem that is best dealt with at the earliest stage possible.

Mother Love: Female Abusers
“A Social Problem Does Not Exist For A Society Until It Is Recognized By That Society To Exist”
The following is the first of a three-part series beginning with what many regard as the most sensational taboo, “Mother-Son Incest”
Growing up I learned about something called the Oedipus Complex. This complex is defined as “a boy’s unresolved desire for sexual gratification through the parent of the opposite sex, especially the desire of a son for his mother”. When I was in college I saw a classic French film entitled “Murmur of the Heart” which took the Oedipal theme and played it out in a contemporary middle class setting. I viewed it as a clever film about the adored, sensitive son of a beautiful, tempestuous Italian mother who is ushered into manhood by her as he recovers from a heart murmur at a countryside sanitarium. The film had me believe that although mother and son both realized that they had crossed a forbidden line, neither was scarred by the experience, and that in fact the son was now able to go on and become a “real” man. At the time, I never questioned the implications of this theme.
Mothers have been idealized for thousands of years. So the notion that the most trusted figure in our lives – the Madonna – could betray and abuse us sexually is particularly hard to fathom. I would contend that that is the primary reason that this particular form of abuse has not been properly identified and addressed in our culture.
Some statistics set the record straight: A July 2000 Justice Department report found that “woman account for 4 percent of those who sexually abuse children under 18 years of age, and about 12 percent of those who molest children younger than six years of age.” And these types of studies do not even address more subtle but still damaging behaviors such as mothers sleeping with children, bathing and fondling them, dressing and undressing in front of them and making them touch them in inappropriate ways (i.e. fondling, sucking). Furthermore, it is believed that abuse by mothers is so grossly under-reported and under-identified that these statistics only reveal a fraction of the problem.
Why is abuse by mothers so much more underreported than abuse by fathers?
Because of the very nature of the relationship. Mothers are more trusted figures than fathers by professionals and even by the children themselves. Furthermore, a mother’s actions can be more confusing because of her traditional role as the primary physical caretaker and nurturer. And even if there was suspicion of abuse, there is likely not to be any physical evidence. More significantly,”in many cases, the child’s family includes only the mother. She may be the only one available to the child for love and support. What child will risk losing his/her only family?”
Society views sexual abuse as something violent or coercive and aggressive – and something that usually involves intercourse. But whether coercion is used or not, “if a child is introduced to a sexually stimulating behavior- which is inappropriate to his (or her) psychosexual and psychosocial developmental maturity – by a parent, it is incest and it is abusive”.
For male victims the situation becomes even more complicated. Boys are less likely to feel victimized and/or to report sexual abuse, especially mother-son incest, because they either see the abuse as something positive (mother love) or they believe that it is either consensual or they are to blame. While boys are more likely to internalize and not tell – in fact disclosure during childhood was the only sexual abuse variable that differentiated the genders in a study by Roesler & McKenzie (1994) – 31% vs. 61% – the long term symptomological response to childhood abuse among adult male and adult female victims was similar – in other words – abuse has profound negative long term effects for both sexes. This shatters another myth – that boys can handle it and may even welcome it as a right of passage.
The psychological consequences of mother/son incest are significant.
Because boys don’t tell, they experience a greater degree of shame, stigma and self-blame than girls. Especially in our current environment, where girls are encouraged to speak up, boys are left to hide something that cuts to the very core of their male hood. In his study on the Psychological Impact of Male Sexual Abuse, David Lisak says one of the most crucial aspects of the experience of male sexual abuse is “a fundamental loss of control: over one’s physical being, one’s sense of self, one’s sense of agency and self-efficacy, and one’s fate”. And yet, as one boy put it, “the thought of losing her was more frightening than her abuse of me.” Lisak refers to the helplessness, isolation and alienation boys experience as they grow up hiding their secret and “seeding the potential for a lifelong struggle with alienation from other people.”
In order to compensate for the feelings of victimization and helplessness that permeated their childhood, adult males abused as boys deal with their masculinity in one of two ways, they either become hyper-masculine and exhibit a lot of anger, especially in relationships with women, or they become passive caretaker types putting everyone else’s needs before their own and exhibiting little or no male ego. Either way they are fighting deeply ingrained feelings of masculine inadequacy. But possibly the most destructive long-term consequence of the abuse is the victim’s inability to trust and therefore to connect with other people. If you have been betrayed by the first and most important figure in your life, how can you ever trust anyone else?

Mother Love / Female Abusers – Part Ii
“There is no other closeness in human life like the closeness between a mother and her child. Chronologically, physically and spiritually, they are just a few heartbeats away from being the same person” *
This is the darkest secret of them all. It challenges societal expectations and myths more than any other form of sexual abuse. It infers sex between a mother and a daughter as well as homosexuality. It is the most difficult type of abuse to identify from the outside and the most under-reported. We are a society in denial. It happens much more than anyone would believe. And while it can be very subtle, most of the time it is not subtle at all, it co-occurs with physical abuse. It challenges our notions of how you define sexual abuse. But to the victim, it is very clear that something terribly wrong is occurring and that there is nowhere to turn for help.
In her seminal book, “Mother-Daughter Incest”, Beverly Ogilvie eloquently describes the societal view of the mother-daughter relationship:
“The mother–child bond has been called the essential human connection, one that teaches us how to love and without which we cannot be whole human beings. A mother’s love provides basic security, stability, nurturing admiration, cuddling, holding and kissing, caring, and acceptance. We receive courage, sense of self, the ability to believe we have value as human beings, and the ability to love others as well as ourselves, from the strength of our mother’s love for us when we are infants. As our first mirror of life, mother functions as protector, guide and interpreter.
A unique tie exists between a mother and daughter in our society, which is encouraged and supported through societal values. A young girl’s identification with her mother continues throughout life, thereby maintaining the mother-daughter relationship while establishing her identity. As women, society encourages us to carry our mothers with us in every breath, every decision, every success, and every failure. Our sense of self as a daughter is entwined with a sense of mother. We look to our mothers in terms of how we define ourselves, in terms of what it is to be a woman and what it is to be a daughter. In essence, there is a shared social role, a shared prescription for life, and shared philosophy. The inevitable modeling relationship between mother and daughter forges her image of herself as a woman, with a sense of basic trust that her mother gave her.”
One cannot, therefore, overstress the significance of the mother-daughter bond and how its betrayal decimates the victim.
Mother-daughter incest is the least understood of all types of sexual abuse. The mother-daughter relationship is characterized by boundaries that are less clearly defined than for mothers and sons and certainly than for fathers and daughters and fathers and sons. A mother’s physical and emotional control over her daughter is viewed tolerantly in our society; and displays of physical intimacy and emotional acting out are so acceptable, that it makes the identification of mother-daughter sexual abuse that much harder. But for those girls living through it, the devastation is unequivocal.
Since mothers usually are the primary caretakers and source of nurturance for their children -and especially their daughters – mixing these functions with sexual abuse leaves the survivor sickened, confused, full of self-loathing and with no sense of her own identity. While boys may have a male figure to turn to, these girls become fused with their mothers in a dark secret that turns their world upside down. In these abusive situations the focus of the relationship is the mother’s needs, including her sexual needs, with no consideration for the daughter as anything more than an extension of herself. The sex isn’t necessarily about sex; more often it is a generational handing down of abusive/incestuous relationships. But contrary to common belief that only mentally insane women are predators; just like with men, some of the most “respectable” appearing women (to the outside world) are preying on their children behind closed doors.
And with daughters it goes deeper than with sons. From birth a daughter models herself after her mother, and so she may not be allowed to discover where her mother ends and she begins. To be so enmeshed with ones perpetrator can be annihilating. For the mother daughter incest survivor, her core relational self, her self-structure has been denied because there is no safe, loving other to model. Essentially, the daughter has experienced the most extreme disconnection and violation because she has been physically, emotionally and sexually violated by the one person in her world who was supposed to protect, nurture and guide her. This is representative of a most severe form of psychological trauma, and in many cases it causes disassociation, detachment and freezing of emotions in the survivor.
“Many daughters possess aspects of their mother’s personalities, physical appearance, or interests. Some sexually abused daughters, however, may feel that their mothers have poisoned their potential to become healthy women. They may feel that parts of their mothers now live within them. Just as the daughters may come to loathe and mistrust their mothers, they come to loathe and mistrust anything in themselves that they believe comes from their mothers. These feelings can be profoundly disturbing. A daughter may feel that just as her mother was abusive to her from outside, the mother can now be abusive and destructive from inside her as well.” **
We need to bring this form of abuse out of the shadows. It is long overdue. We have to recognize that a problem exists, give it a face and find an avenue for these young girls to be able to reach out for help. The abuse itself takes many forms – from inappropriate touching or licking to masturbation to sodomy to enemas to pornography and/or making a daughter perform or watch others (i.e. her mother) perform sex with a third party. The list goes on. Dr. David Finkelhor, a noted researcher conceived of the following criteria to define child sexual abuse: it includes traumatic sexualization – premature and inappropriate sexual learning; betrayal – a violation of trust and dependency through activities and events; powerlessness – coerced by force, threats or deceit to submit to boundary violations and stigma – the secrecy causes the child to fear blame for the adult’s actions.
Because this type of abuse has been so minimized and marginalized, there is a dearth of reliable statistical research. But when surveys have been conducted, the results always point in the same direction. In 1996, the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect investigated more than two million reports alleging maltreatment of more than three million children. More than one million of these children were identified as victims of abuse. Of these one million, 12% were sexually abused and of those sexually abused, mothers constituted 25% (approx. 36,000 children) of the perpetrators of the sexually abused victims. Furthermore, this statistic was considered to be underestimated due to the tendency of non-disclosure by victims.
We need to get past our preconceived notions of motherhood and recognize the full spectrum of female sexuality, behavior and emotions. We need to reach out and give the young victims as well as adult survivors of mother/daughter incest a clear voice and a way back to healing.

Teen Decorating – How To Create A Bedroom You Both Will Love!
When it comes to teen decorating there is much to consider as far as their bedroom is concerned. The reason for this is because before your bundle of joy grew into a teenager, the room they occupied was primarily designed to allow for safe playing and romping.
But now those days are about gone and your child thinks that he or she “is practically a grown up”, and their bedroom is no longer a sandbox. It’s their personal sanctuary.
As you well know, teens crave privacy, and they will spend large amounts of time buried in their room. So, it’s important that you give them furnishings that will provide comfort. And they should be granted a certain degree of freedom to makeover their room as they see fit (of course, with your approval of their teen decorating choices).
The big difference between teen decorating and decorating for younger children is that teens are very self-conscious about how their bedrooms look. As such, they will want you to have as little involvement in their bedroom decorating choices as possible.
I know, I know?.it’ll take you a little while to get used to this role, but it is important that you give your teen a good bit of freedom to make their own choices and grow.
Now, there’s something else you should know. Most teen decorating themes are chosen for how they make the teen feel, rather than how it looks. Strange, but true.
Teenagers make a great effort to confound logic and order, and are at that stage where they are striving to be recognized as individuals. In decorating, they will do this by using what most interests them to express themselves. And they will turn to these things when they need sanctuary, and wish to hibernate.
Therefore, while you may not completely understand or agree with their teen decorating selections, it’s a good idea to just let them mature and grow in an environment that gives them solace and makes them feel comfortable.
Possible teen decorating ideas that your teen may enjoy include the following:
- Vibrant paint colours for the walls
- Fuzzy chairs
- Area rugs
- Daybeds
- Beds with Trundles
- Whacky shaped objects (lamps, clocks ect.)
- Posters
- Pictures of family and friends
- Bookshelves
- Mirrors
It’s also quite common for teen decorating to include certain themes. Some of the most popular teen decorating themes tend to be:
- Nature ? wildlife, trees, plants, etc.
- Entertainment ? music, movies, etc.
- Sports ? baseball, football, hockey, etc.
Another thing you’ll want to take into account when considering teen decorating is that studying will play a much bigger role in their lives. That being the case, if your teen does not have a computer in his or her room, you may want to seriously consider purchasing them one, because the vast majority of teens prefer studying and doing homework in their room compared to anywhere else.
Now, I shouldn’t have to say it, but be very careful when it comes to the computer and your teen. You’ve probably heard horror stories about child predators lurking on the Internet. So, pay attention to what your teen does with their computer. Just because they think they are “practically adults”, it doesn’t mean they are mentally ready to make all adult decisions and handle the consequences.
In addition to the above, multi-function furniture such as stackable crates and bins are a great and inexpensive way for your teen to neatly store all of their items.
Although teen decorating may cause you moments of frustration and cringing, it is something that your child will enjoy, and is important to them. So, just bear with them. After all, it won’t be long before they are off to college.
How Do You Know If The One You Love Will Ever Get Over His Addictions?
I have left a bf because he is addicted to things that I am not. His addictions wreaked havoc onto our relationship. He even lied to cover them up and was mean and defensive when I told him he had to stop.
I’m not waiting for him to recover…my question is is there a chance he will? What are the statistics on rehab?
Are addicts just addicts or do they ever fully recover?
Please, mental health professionals out there? Answer anyone?
Codependency Vs. Tough Love in Teens
Codependency is about having a dysfunctional relationship with self. Co-dependency is a behavior that can be passed from one generation to another generation. Basically it is an emotional and behavioral condition. Due to this it affects the ability of healthy and mutually satisfying relationship. Codependency is an emotional and behavioral defense system, which our egos adapted, in early childhood to help us survive. We can define in other way means called as relationship addiction. Because codependency affected people unable to maintain the relationship, they are to be destructive.
The affects of codependency:
Due to codependency, spouse, parents, sibling friends, co-worker are much more affected by the affected person. At this phase the person or the teens are having low self-esteem, low self-confidence.
Characteristics of codependence teens:

How To Over Come A Broken Heart
To be sixteen and in love is a wonderful thing. There is that magical feeling in the air where an in-love couple does not have a worry in the world, just the love and wanting to be with each other. But what happens if this fairy tale of yours ends in a wretched, twisted manner when one day you find that your beloved has cheated on you with another boy or girl? What will you do? What can you do? The emotional connection that you felt is torn apart leaving in its wake scars that transcend time. For few, these scars may not become evident until a later time, but eventually no one can escape infidelity unscathed. What is important to realize and understand is that cheating can happen to almost anyone in a relationship. Being young and having an entire life ahead to discover the world one day at a time makes this experience all the more difficult to deal with. The innocence of adolescence, especially a first love can make this scar cut much deeper into the heart.
The pain of being cheated upon would be indescribably hurtful more so for a young heart. It might even give rise to suspicions regarding one’s self-respect, trust, ego and self worth by creating raw nerves of these emotions. But there are ways in which it is possible to slowly overcome the feelings of loneliness and depression. It is natural for a teenager who has been cheated on to cling to his or her betrayer. The real mentality that exists in this irony is that the person who has been cheated on becomes far too skeptical of being able to trust another person and therefore they rely on believing that their partner will change. You need to realize that you did nothing wrong; you are not to blame for what has happened. Try to gain a perspective with others and enlist the help and support of friends who you can turn to for help.
You might also try to justify the act that has been committed against you. You might blame yourself thinking ‘If I had done this then perhaps…’what you need to remember is that there can be many reasons why a person would cheat. Perhaps he or she simply did not care or it could be some general lacking empathy. There are a few who cheat because they are immature, selfish or sympathy seekers. Most cheaters get motivated by their own needs. In other words, they are driven by one familiar force, the force of self-satisfaction. They do not think of the consequences and pain their actions of infidelity will cause to you. What you need to do is remove any doubt from your mind as to what might have happened if you had done things differently. It does not matter what you did or what you could have done, as sooner or later a cheater would have cheated and taken advantage of your kindness.
To be able to overcome the entire heart-breaking episode, you need to have an open mind which will help you understand just what a relationship means. It can be a motivational factor if the cheated person ponders on it in a constructive manner. It can help you focus on certain areas of responsibility that will allow a relationship to survive infidelity. Remember that even the best novelists of romance novels and relationship self help books are victims of their literary experiences. Being the bigger person and looking at the bigger picture will help you gain a larger perspective of this big and complicated world we live in. If you are comfortable with it, try and talk to him/her and find out why he/she did it. Remember that for the cheater, the experience can also be an eye opener. Everyone realizes what they have lost only after they lose it. A cheater may enjoy his occasional bout or fling of cheating with another person, however deep down there is a conscience that questions his morality. A teen cheater will grow up realizing the mistake he has made and so he will value and understand what a relationship is in future.
In conclusion, if you are a victim of infidelity or you know someone who is, bear in mind that there are bound to be heart breaks. However, you should understand and realize that this experience is a part and parcel of growing up into the world and moving from one level to another. Eventually, you will get over this tragedy and through the support of friends and family you will move on. If you spend too much time pondering on something that might have been, you will miss out on all the wonderful things the journey of life continues to amaze us with. Love is one such emotion that surpasses all obstacles and will meticulously help transform everyone into an adult.
