Family

How would your family be changed if a family member started abusing drugs or was addicted? How would your family deal with the individual?

A family tends point fingers and blame each other for every mistake made which is usually not the way to get past it. I expect that the family would want the member to get help and get them cured of the “disease” but sometimes, they might come off as too pushy or not understanding enough; this could cause the drug user to feel pressured, resulting in possible relapse. A family could easily be torn apart with a conflict like this. But my family would come closer together to help the addict recover fully.
