The Lived Experience of Being the Mother of a Drug-Addicted Young Adult: A Heuristic Study
2017
Overview
The numbers of young adults addicted to drugs is on the rise in society. In turn, the numbers of mothers of drug addicted young adults is escalating. Many mothers become more involved in the lives of their children as their children’s drug abuse increases. As they become more involved in the lives of their drug addicted children, the mothers begin to experience confusing thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Currently, heuristic research on the experiences of mothers of drug addicted young adults is lacking in the literature. To help fill the gap in the literature, the present heuristic study focused on the lived experiences of eight mothers of drug addicted young adults. The research question was, “what is the lived experience of being the mother of a drug-addicted young adult?” Data analysis, conducted according to the heuristic methodology of Clark Moustakas, revealed four themes of loss of self, awareness of losses, transitions, and reclaiming the self. The themes represent the qualities inherent in the mothers’ experiences.
