Raising a Child in a Toxic Society

By S.C. Albright

This is a three part book. Part one is autobiographical, recalling the author's growing up years in the 1950s and 1960s, and then having and raising a child from the mid 1980s on. Her child's youth was riddled by ADD, mild learning disabilities, exposure to alcohol and social drugs, and his self medicationg behavior until young adulthood as his parents struggled to prevent his self destruction. Part two, "What Went Right, What Went Wrong", is a decade by decade analysis of American society from the 1950s through 2000, particularly pertaining to societal evolution and its effect on behavioral norms. Pat three, "Where Do We Go From Here", is the author's analysis of what we, as a nation, need to do to reclaim our values and rescue our children from the negative influences of society.
