Not all drug or alcohol users cause problems for other people. They are not necessarily bad parents, carers, friends, brothers or sisters. Sometimes other people's drug or alcohol use does affect others. If this is true for you click here.
Other people's drug and alcohol use can affect young people in lots of different ways. You are not alone in this experience; many young people have substance using parents, carers, grandparents or siblings (brothers & sisters).
You are an important person, you may not be able to solve all your family's problems but you have the right to look after yourself. Ask for help when you need it.
