As parents we all want what is best for our children. We often make sacrifices for them to make situations a little easier than we had when growing up. This is very natural and certainly commendable.

Should one of them get caught up in using alcohol/drugs to an excess, they become emotionally stunted and display child-like behavior. We become alarmed and start trying to fix the situation by punishment, i.e., “You are grounded. You may not take the car until you learn how to act responsibly.” When that doesn’t work, we try rewards. “If you show me you can act responsibly, I will buy you a car.” Often, we go into denial and pretend things are not as bad as we think. At times, we even think we might be imagining things that are not true.
