I disagree that it's not the parents fault. All parents are imperfect, and I've found that most parents parenting issues are worse than they ever realized. Both my sons have been addicts for years, mostly because of MY extreme dramatic issues, very type A personality, addicted to work, productivity, raising my sons in a high chair while I'm working and not connecting with them. They weren't heard or seen, among many other neglect issues. Now that I've learned this, thru Gabor Mate, my sons know of my repentance and they've seen my l the change in me. But they need healing, a lot of it, and the drugs have ruined their young life. Parents need to recognize where kid's addictions come from. IT'S FROM THEIR DYSFUNCTIONAL UPBRINGING. We absolutely need not have guilt, no one is perfect, I know I did the best I could, I literally didn't know any different. But now I do, and it's helped me sons get on the healing road.
Yes, this is true, but not all parents are the fault. I was, but I know a few who were not. Since I have made amends, both my children and different and love the Lord.
I had the best parents ever dad was military an mom stayed home an raised 5 kids 4 drug addicts. Oldest is dead murderd cause of drugs I'm clean now but hell I'm 65 yrs old
@Timmy Normand I know you think your parents were about perfect, but Gabor Mate has had many like you go up on the stage to challenge him about it, thinking their parents weren't any issue with their addictions. And every time after talking to them a few minutes he brought out serious issues that were never recognized by them. Things that would seriously cause a child issues, but were seen as acceptable and normal, because that's all the kids knew... was their own upbringing. I'm not arguing I'm just sharing what I've seen and learned. On top of all this, each person reacts to pain differently. What's painful to one person may not be painful to another person. I have a close friend who swears her parents were and are great growing up. Yet I see the dysfunction in them, and especially that the dad was extremely religious when she was growing up. Anything unbalanced causes serious issues. She used to sneak out and could never get enough "fun". Shes had fibromayalgia and lymes for many make years. She's closed to God pretty bad. Her brother is gay and sister has severe depression among lots of other problems. Her extremely passive mother stayed at home when they were kids. But she swears there were no issues growing up. Now I'm not saying people don't have free wills, that all their problems are from their upbringing. But I'm fully convinced addictions are from upbringing wounds/trauma.
And what about prodigals that have cut off all contact because what you stand for is currently everything they say they are against?
That is a common issue that can happen with parents of prodigals. You can watch this TH-cam video here where I address this heartbreaking issue:
