The proposed research aims to explore and describe the experiences, challenges and
coping strategies of fathers, parenting children, abusing illegal substances. The use and
abuse of illegal substances became national and global dilemmas. The impact and damage
caused when drugs are widely used over time is irreversible, as it influences the lives of
users and those of their families, their communities, and the country. This research
provides an opportunity for fathers, parenting children, abusing illegal substances to share
their experiences and challenges. Data are collected by conducting in-depth and face-toface
interviews with the participants. The collected data are analysed by following the eight
steps of Tesch in Creswell (2009:186). Data are analysed using Lincoln and Guba’s model
of trustworthiness of qualitative research for validation. The study endeavours to obtain an
understanding of the experiences and challenges encountered by fathers, parenting
children, abusing illegal substances and how social workers could assist in addressing this
dilemma. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Work)
