Parents and relatives of people who are using alcohol or other drugs often feel as if they are riding on an emotional roller coaster. Significant and severe stress can be experienced over an extended period of time. Family members may feel isolated, powerless, angry, confused, ashamed and can become stressed and at risk of their own health problems. Often parents are the sole carers of their grandchildren and they are also feeling the lasting effects.
