Question
A parent to a young child uses amphetamines on a weekend basis. she loves her son, looks after him very well, gives him everything he needs and never neglects him. my question is could she lose her son because she uses this substance?
Answer
Hello Charly,
It is very difficult to predict what the ultimate outcome is when a person uses drugs to function normally. Her need for drugs may be a sign that she is suffering from a underlying biochemical disorder, that interferes with the production of feel good neurotransmitters. In other words, it points to an ill-health that may or may not ultimately affects her role as a parent.
If she is motivated she should be able to overcome her addiction by understanding the underlying biochemistry of addiction.
