When kids use drug abuse, parents also become victims as they watch their kids transform into irrational and antisocial individuals. This harrowing situation finds parents buckling under the stress, often with catastrophic effects: divorce, profession upsets, breakdowns . and worse.

Don’t Let YOUR CHILDREN Kill You is normally a landmark work that dares to focus on the plight of the puzzled, distressed parent rather than the erring child. It sets apart any preconceived ideas that parents are to be blamed for what’s essentially a full-blown global turmoil. Sketching on interviews with parents who’ve survived the heartbreak of children on drugs, combined with his own experience, Charles Rubin provides practical advice on how parents might help themselves and their own families by first attending to their own needs.
