Don't let Your Kids Kill You
Defies the myth that parents must sacrific themselves. Instead, shows them how to reclaim their power, balance, happiness...and lives. 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 catastrophoric consequences: Divorce, career upsets, breakdowns and worse. "Don't Let Your Kids Kill You" is a landmark work that dares 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've 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. Liberation begins when you open this book.

Parents, Help Your Child Say No to Drugs
Books are like people, each one has its own story. My book is a story about teenagers with an addiction for drugs and the adverse effects these addictions have on their parents. My hope is that this book will present a picture of the many changes that can present themselves in the lives of young people and parents in their battle with mind-altering drugs. Many parents, unfortunately, are lost in the complexities of our everyday busy lives and their minds are clouded to the problems that are developing before them. Many of us are either oblivious to the problem of drugs or are too afraid to admit to ourselves that we do not know what to do if it happens in our families. Parents are sadly conv...

Children of Drug Abusers
Until now, no one has spoken out for the children of heroin and cocaine addicts. The addiction treatment field has never been family or child-centered; workers were wholly unprepared for the vast numbers of children of drug abusers, and child mental health workers were not trained to work with the wanted or unwanted children of several million addicts in America. This is the first book to speak out passionately for these neglected, abandoned, and maltreated children. Combining a complete review of the literature with their own clinical experience with adult drug abusers and their children, the authors describe pioneering efforts by child mental health, child welfare, and addiction treatment personnel to get children of drug abusers the help they urgently need. They offer clinical strategies for working directly with these children in family centered settings.
My Parents Have a Drug Problem
My Parents Have a Drug Problem was written as a children's book to be relatable to younger children who can't yet understand the effects their parent's addiction has on their lives. The book includes teachable moments that help guide the conversation and ask questions that otherwise might be overlooked or forgotten. The My Parents Have a Drug Problem accompanying guide, A Guide to Talking to Children About Drug Addiction takes a closer look at addiction and gives some tips on talking to children about addiction and what their parents may be experiencing.
The Confessions of a Drug Addicted Daughter
This is a true story of drug addition. If you are unaware of what can happen to a young person whose life was destroyed by becoming a drug addict, I hope you will read Susan’s life story. This book has great input from the addict, my daughter, on when she started, on how she started, and why she started using drugs. Her letters are insightful as are her confessions, never before told. If I can help even one child avoid the life my daughter has led, it will be worth the agony I have spent in reliving Susan’s life which has been destroyed by the use of drugs.
