Alcoholism has many negative factors into a home environment, which may include but are not limited to, lack of financial management, communication and attention towards the needs of the children.
Families affected by alcoholism report higher levels
of conflict than do families with no alcoholism.
Drinking is the primary factor in family disruption.
The environment of children of alcoholics has been
characterized by lack of parenting, poor home
management, and lack of family communication
skills, thereby effectively robbing children of alcoholic
parents of modeling or training on parenting
skills or family effectiveness.8
