As parents, we want the best for our children. We want them to grow up to be confident, capable, and successful individuals. But sometimes, we may underestimate the power of our support and belief in our children. When we believe in our kids, it can have a tremendous impact on their development and overall well-being. Believing in your kid means having faith in their abilities, encouraging them to pursue their dreams, and being their biggest cheerleader. It means acknowledging their strengths and weaknesses and helping them develop the skills they need to succeed. When children feel like their parents believe in them, they are more likely to take risks, set goals, and work towards achieving them. It can have a lasting impact on their self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. Children who feel supported by their parents are more likely to take on challenges, set goals, and work towards achieving them. So, let your child know that you believe in them and that you are there to support them every step of the way.

The parents become as obsessed with them as they are with drugs and alcohol. The parents isolate from their friends, they ignore other relationships, they don't perform at work, and they become fixated on the addict. They act like an addict without ever using a substance. They allow their child's addiction to take charge of their own lives just as it has taken over their child's.There is a way out. It is possible for parents to start getting better even before their child does.
