ALL TYPES OF ABUSE
Have you ever actually sat down and thought about all the types
of abuse there are in the world . The most obvious would be the
drug\alcohol abuse ,sexual, physical ,mental, verbal and also you
can have some minor ones like food, sweets and those types of things .
The reason I had this on my mind today is I discovered a cousin of mine
is back in jail. And is charged with domestic assault now I am not totally sure
what that means except there must have been a mark left on the other
person. He has had a troubled life mainly with the drug abuse but I never
thought he would be the type to be charged with domestic assault , he was
always a easy going person in his younger days and would do anything to
help you out . But as he got older he got involved with the wrong crowd and
turned to drugs, and made several other bad choices . Now he is grown
and 38 years old and has a very long police record and no family left to
do anything to help him . So my main question is what makes a person
become a drug abuser or an alcoholic ? Does anyone think there is
a chance that somehow it is all in the genes ? Personally I belive you can
inherit a gene to make you more likely to become a drug user or alcoholic .
I personally lived with an alcoholic ,actually married him not knowing just how bad of a problem he had, but after several attempts I made the wise choice to
leave the situation not before finding out that his father also used to have a drinking problem . So that is one reason I think you can inherit a drinking problem if you are not careful . Mainly from my past experiences . So now
I will step down off my soap box and basically say this. If you have a problem the main thing if for you to admit there is a problem and ask for help . Then once you are willing to accept the help there will be someone out to willing to
step up to the plate to help . And I also learned that you can't force help on
anyone.
