- An Investigation on the Challenges Faced by Parents Living with Children who Abuse Drugs. Case Study of Chitungwiza Zimbabwe
- Abstract
- Substance abuse in children has a huge impact not only on the children but the family as a whole and particularly the parents. This study looked at the challenges which parents face as a result of their children’s use of drugs. The research design used is descriptive. The researcher used an in-depth interview to gather data. Thematic analysis was also implored in the study, and it yielded topics and subtopics. The study found that parents had trouble to find solutions to this problem and ended up turning to spirituality for comfort. Some of the challenges which parents reported include shame, guilty and humiliation because of their children’s continuous use of drugs
