520 $a This qualitative study explored the experiences of five men and one woman who were parents, substance dependent, and receiving treatment. Data collected by observation and in-depth interviewing were analyzed using constant comparison method and thematic analysis. Findings grouped into three categories:
520 $a "Surviving my childhood and becoming an adult," describes the traumatic family environments in which the participants spent their childhood turning to drugs as a means of escape. At a young age, they each assumed adult worker, spouse, and parent roles.
520 $a "The struggles of trying to be a parent," describes how they attempted to cope with adult stressors by continuing to use drugs. Initially, they believed they could maintain separate yet, compatible identities as drug addict and parent. Eventually, addiction became more powerful. Participants felt their parental roles were important in their lives and parental responsibility was one of the motivating factors to seek treatment.
520 $a "The roles of spouses and extended family members," describe how participants adapted their lives when they were unable to care for their children. Parenting responsibilities fell to spouses or other family members, giving rise to many conflicts. Power struggles emerged when the participants were in recovery and attempted to reenter their children's lives.
520 $a An overarching metathematic category, "The destructive path and powerful appeal of addiction" describes why the participants reported feeling most comfortable in the role of drug addict. Recovery was a painful process that required a change of lifestyle. While participants loved their children and expressed strong desires to be positive parental figures, they did not have many opportunities or role models to learn from. Further, treatment programs viewed parenting issues as peripheral to the recovery process. As parents, they have similar hopes and fears about their children as parents without addiction. These parents loved their children and wanted to be good role models. They, however, did not know how to parent. They did not have opportunities to observe positive family relationships in their lives. They are more familiar with the role as a drug addict and found order in the chaos that an addictive lifestyle brings. Although painful, they also found addictive lifestyle exciting and purposeful.
