In his book, Let’s Face It, actor Kirk Douglas writes about learning that his 46 year old son, Eric, was found dead, the result of a drug overdose. Eric Douglas had struggled with addiction issues for decades.

The actor and his wife, Anne, were devastated by the unnecessary death of their son and looked inward to see what, if anything, they did wrong as parents. To help lift some of their feelings of guilt, one counselor asked them to factor into their grieving, three Cs concerning family addicts:

  1. You didn't cause it.

  2. You can't cure it.

  3. You can't control it.
