For Teenagers Living with a Parent Who Abuses Alcohol/Drugs

Just the thing my niece needed when dealing with her alcohol abusing mother. It has all the answers to the problem the child faced. I recommend it highly.

For Teenagers Living With A Parent Who Abuses Alcohol/Drugs by Edith Lynn Hornik-Beer is a very straightforward book written especially for young people, and offering direct answers to basic questions such as "What causes alcoholism?"; "What do I do about the abuse?"; "Where can I get help?"; and "Should I stay at home?". With information about Alateen and other helpful programs, sound and critical insights, and a down-to-earth style of narration that candidly presents much-needed facts and information, For Teenagers Living With a Parent Who Abuses Alcohol/Drugs deserves the highest recommendation and would be an invaluable addition to any school or community library collection.

This book answers those questions which teenagers in this situation have to know. Where can I get help? How can I stay in touch with a parent who is in prison? Is addiction hereditary? Why do some people get hooked and others don't? Every library, every self-help organization should have this book. And, every teenager who has come across such problems needs to know that the book is out there.

This book is a godsend for teenagers dealing with a parent who abuses alcohol or drugs. Edith Lynn Hornik-Beer provides tangible real-world solutions to specific questions and situations, and she does it with empathy as well as expertise. I highly recommend it.

Edith Beer gives all the answers in clear writing. Help is here for the teenager and for parents concerned about friends' children. This is a caring book with lots of practical help. Beer has authored other books about substance abuse and knows her subject well.
