Soft Is the Heart of a Child
Description
Alcoholism is known as a family disease. An alcoholic can totally disrupt family life and cause harmful effects that can last a lifetime. Family members are usually the first to detect the drinking problem and try to find ways to solve it. Each member of the family may be affected differently. According to research, one in four children is exposed to family alcohol abuse or alcoholism. Children of alcoholic parents are often beaten and abused, causing them to feel neglected and unwanted. This award-winning drama explores a classic alcoholic family situation: a father who drinks too much; a mother plagued by frustration, guilt, and denial; and three children whose suffering takes different forms.
