“…In children and families social work, concerns about parental misuse of drugs or alcohol are associated with poor outcomes for children [8], and the issues arising can be complex [9].

“…Early in Beth's story, whilst recounting her experiences of living with her drug‐addicted mother, it is possible to unravel how the familial interpersonal relationships she established affected her conceptualization of responsibility. A direct consequence of Beth's mother's addiction to heroin was her inability to effectively care for her children (as reflected in the work of McKeganey et al, ; Kroll & Taylor, ; Holland et al, ), which in turn impinged on Beth's sense of responsibility to care for her younger siblings (Barnard, ; Klee et al, ). Throughout the discourse, Beth displays an inevitable and natural instinct to be a motherly figure to her younger siblings but also how she considered it an obligation,

Beth reflected how she would provide for the more dependent people in the household, extending to her mother.…”

“…Many researchers have identified a correlation between problem drug use and neglect towards children (Forrester, ; Holland, Forrester, Williams, & Copello, ; Kroll & Taylor, ; McKeganey, Barnard, & McIntosh, ; O'Connor, Forrester, Holland, & Williams, ), with babies and young children most likely to face this form of maltreatment (Harwin & Forrester, ). Due to parents' potential inability to care effectively for their children, children can experience a “loss of childhood” (Laybourne, Brown, & Hill, ; Velleman & Orford, ), as they often adopt the parental role in the family circle (Barnard, ; Klee, Wright, & Rothwell, ), and therefore, their ability to experience a “true” childhood is restricted.…”

“…Such challenges can also take a toll on parents' mental health and further impair their parenting abilities. Research suggests that parents living under socioeconomic stress may be at greater risk of experiencing various psychological issues, including depression and substance use, and that such issues could lead to substandard parenting practices and child maltreatment (Holland, Forrester, Williams, & Copello, 2014; Mistry, Vandewater, Huston, & McLoyd, 2002; Newland, Crnic, Cox, & Mills‐Koonce, 2013).…”
