About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"Offers parents the means to attain a healthy balance in their lives despite their children's choices." ( Publishers Weekly)

As someone who is as described in the book ie Pale, looking half dead, so ill through stress and anxiety and depression that some days I feel like I'm going to die or want to die or don't have the energy to even walk, all brought on by the horrific life a parent of an addict leads day after day trapped in the most nightmarish life that they can find no way to escape it , I had come to the end of my tether purely because I felt like I was at deaths door....This book has just given me the lift I needed to pursue the strong desire for this nightmare to stop. I wanted it to stop but didn't know how. How can I walk away? How can I live with the guilt of waking away. I listened to this book in one go. I couldn't stop because I was desperate to know how. I now have some armor and tools to be able to start the journey of detachment. To start my own journey. To let go of something I have no control over no matter how hard I try and I have tried everything. I'm worth a life too. Drugs ruined my life and I hadn't even touched any... Thank you so so so much to the author of this book for changing everything I thought I knew into something different and inspiring.. God bless you...
