If your parent:

– Made you feel responsible for their addiction
– Blamed your other parent for the circumstances leading to their substance abuse
– Physically, verbally, or emotionally abused you or someone else in your family while high or intoxicated
– Used drugs or alcohol instead of meeting your physical or emotional needs
– Withheld love or affection from you

These are all understandable reasons to feel angry about your parent’s addiction. But you can cope and heal.
