Ok so I have the question of give 5 examples of abuse/neglect that may eventuate with children who are brought up on an environment where drugs and alcohol are taken freely.
My answers
Domestic violence, emotion abuse, sexual abuse, neglect and environmental.
Is this answering it properly or have I completely missed the mark??

Children raised in homes where parents are regularly taking drugs are more likely to have problems with brain development and learning, and difficulties with emotional control, behaviour and social adjustment.

Yeah, your answers make sense for what kids might go through in those situations. Growing up around addiction can definitely lead to a lot of issues, stuff like being left alone, not having their needs met, or just being exposed to scary situations all the time. I've seen close friends struggle with this in their own families, and a lot of the time the hardest part to spot is the emotional neglect because it's not always obvious from the outside. If families ever reach out for help, I actually had a decent experience with Abbeycare when someone I know needed support with addiction recovery. They really helped keep everyone involved and supported through the process.
