Synopsis

When kids turn to substance abuse, parents also become victims as they watch their children transform into irrational and antisocial individuals. This harrowing scenario finds parents buckling beneath the stress, often with catastrophic consequences: divorce, career upsets, breakdowns . . . and worse.

Don't Let Your Kids Kill You is a landmark work that dares to focus on the plight of the confused, distressed parent and not the erring child. It sets aside any preconceived ideas that parents are to blame for what is essentially a full-blown global crisis. Drawing on interviews with parents who have survived the heartbreak of kids on drugs, combined with his own experience, Charles Rubin provides practical advice on how parents can help themselves and their families by first attending to their own needs.

I heard about this book in a group counseling session. The person sharing it's value claims she has to buy it repeatedly because she ends up giving them away to others. I ordered it immediately.

Goodreads review by Jeffery on August 25, 2018

This is a useful book for those parents or grandparents of adult children who are addicts. Rubin is straightforward about his experience as a father of two drug addicts, and all the pain, drama, manipulations and false hopes that such a life involves. He has counseled with many others in the same po......more

VERY HELPFUL This was the most helpful and real information I could find. When you are dealing with your child on drugs, you feel helpless and have no clue on what you should do.
