Publisher's Summary

When kids turn to substance abuse, parents also become victims as they watch their children transform into irrational and antisocial individuals. This harrowing scenario finds parents buckling beneath the stress, often with catastrophic consequences: divorce, career upsets, breakdowns, and worse.

Don't Let Your Kids Kill You is a landmark work that dares to focus on the plight of the confused, distressed parent and not the erring child. It sets aside any preconceived ideas that parents are to blame for what is essentially a full-blown global crisis. Drawing on interviews with parents who have survived the heartbreak of kids on drugs, combined with his own experience, Charles Rubin provides practical advice on how parents can help themselves and their families by first attending to their own needs.

Wonderful Book

This book is a gift of knowledge and empowerment covering all aspects of the excruciatingly grief ridden path of the parent to the chemically dependent child. Heartbreaking and heartfelt it changed my judgemental perceptions of others and forced me to look at myself and my addiction to my addicted child. It has also helped me in my work as a counsellor. Beautifully read by Tom Zingarelli who had the perfect voice for the content. If you or anyone you know has this issue or if you work with the afflicted I highly recommend this as a life saving resource. Thank you Charles Rubin for writing it.

Excellent book

Wonderful book that is needed to be read/heard by all parents of drug addicted children. It’s honest and helpful, relatable and there is no fluff. It’s just information that needs to be heard so parents can let go and learn to live their own lives. Excellent!
