OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Parenting The Addict Child is dedicated to bringing the disease of addiction and alcoholism from the back alleys and gutters of public perception by giving voice to those who suffer silently in darkness. Our societal presence radiates a beacon of light for encumbered parents and families to be free from stigma, shame, self-blame and the imprisonment of perfection; thereby opening the doors to begin healing our deepest soul anguish.

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

About me:
Parenting the Addicted Child
Leyla Fatima is a writer whose columns on addiction, “Parenting From The Foxhole” have been featured in the Orange County Register. Her youngest son is currently in a long-term treatment facility and the eldest is a mandatory participant in a drug court program. Leyla addresses the complex and painful issues that parents face, from the parent’s perspective. Her family’s often grim circumstances along with their triumphs forge the path of her mission in changing public policies and perception on alcoholism and addiction.
"Courage is standing often on my knees, in the presence of toxic silence, rage and hostility; my truth sees the fragile spirit of a child needing consistency of love without shame or judgment."--Leyla Fatima
For every dark moment, there have been those of an equal joy as the mother of two gifted young men, my sons. I came to understand some time ago that my path was not meant to be a private journey. It is not mine to keep and what my eyes have seen must be shared for those who find themselves at various crossroads when parenting a child that lives with addiction and alcoholism. As parents we may be powerless over this demon that hijacks our beloved children. Lest Not! we make the mistake of confusing powerlessness over this disease, with helplessness. Nothing is further from the truth.
