Introduction -- Growing up in a "dysfunctional" family -- Mothers' little helpers -- Daddy's little girl: feeling rejected, abandoned, and unloved -- Looking for love in all the wrong places -- Doing drugs: the good, the bad, and the ugly -- Parents' attempts to intervene on behalf of drug-using daughters -- Property of the state: locked up, locked out, and in need of treatment -- Moving beyond the individual toward programmatic, systemic, and policy solutions.
Complicated Lives focuses on the lives of sixty-five drug-using girls in the juvenile justice system who grew up in families characterized by parental drug use, violence, and child maltreatment. Vera Lopez's work examines how these relationships with their parents contribute to the girls' future drug use and involvement in the justice system.
