Being a parent in denial is a major factor in the drug abuse epidemic that is happening with our children. Just two years ago, the National Institute of Drug Abuse reported that half of all high school seniors in America have experimented with illegal drugs, and about three-quarters of them have tried alcohol.
What is “denial?”.
Denial is an unconscious defense mechanism characterized by the refusal to acknowledge painful realities, thoughts, or feelings. I’m sure parents whom have already faced evidence staring them right in the face know first hand how easy it can be to reject the truth staring right back at them.
But denial can be deadly.
If you’re suspicious that your child might be using, look into the situation. There is nothing to lose and only our children’s lives and futures to gain.
