I've had a busy time preparing and uploading material for the new website. I've been looking through content on our old 'substancemisuse.net' website, selecting what should be transfered to the new site.
I came across an old article given to me by Mike Blanche of Drug and Family Support (DAFS) based in Gwent. It was written by colleagues of Mike who asked if I would put it on our old website. I read the article and realised that it was as relevant today as it was when first written. There are many parents around the country experiencing the same problems today as were occurring five years ago.
As pointed out on my June 30th Blog, we are not devoting enough efforts towards helping family members who experience problems as a result of their loved one's substance use.
I leave you to read the article I have retrieved, called 'A Parents Story'.
