It is difficult to determine how many youth live with a parent who is chronically or seriously ill. However, it has been estimated that as many as 5-15% of children and adolescents have parents who suffer from a significant medical condition.
Living with an ill parent can affect youth in a number of ways: ill parents may lack the emotional or physical energy to adequately parent their child, help with homework, or take youth to activities; adolescents may be expected to care for younger siblings, or care for the parent; and families may suffer financial crisis with the loss of wages of the ill parents, or increased medical bills.
Volume 12(4) of The Prevention Researcher takes a look at the lives of youth with ill parents. Articles examines the effects of living with a parent who has cancer, HIV/AIDS, or a non-terminal illness, and the effects of anticipating parental death.
