Polish-speaking publications.
Substance abuse is a destructive behavior that affects the life of
the chemically dependent individual and his/her family. Past
research has focused on the effectiveness of involving family
members in therapy as to engage the substance abuser in treatment,
on risk factors and predictors for childrens future drug use, and
the externalizing behaviors exhibited by children of chemically
dependent parents. No research so far has focused on the meanings
children give to parental substance abuse. The purpose of this
study was to understand the experiences and meanings that the
children of chemically dependent parents give to the addiction, and
how the addiction affects the attachment bond. A qualitative
methodological approach, namely the tradition of phenomenology, was
used.Nine children between the ages of 9 and 16 took part in the
study. Several themes emerged from the childrens responses, such as
drug use of self and parent, childs feelings towards the parent and
their own feeling of loss, emotional and physical chaos, sources of
help, and their life in recovery.
