Abstract: Mental health is crucial to global well-being, evolving significantly throughout history. Chemical dependency is recognized as a mental health problem, with significant impacts on family dynamics. The research aims to identify stressors related to addiction and address the challenges faced by codependents, with the aim of reducing stigma and promoting a broader, more inclusive understanding. This study used a qualitative-descriptive method based on experience reports. This study explores the experiences of two women impacted by chemical dependency in their families. Data was collected and analyzed inductively, providing a deep understanding of the psychological phenomena experienced. The results of this study are based on the personal experiences of two authors, who share their experiences as family members of drug addicts at different periods of their lives. The reports highlight the presence of significant stressful factors, including disagreements, attempts to control substance use, family disorganization with a reversal of roles and functions, and the consequent family breakdown. Furthermore, they highlight elements that contribute to a cycle of stigma and social isolation, along with the challenges faced in combating addiction. Chemical dependency poses complex challenges for addicts and their families, profoundly influencing the family structure and social context, which triggers a series of obstacles in treatment and community acceptance, placing families in a position of constant struggle for resources and support.
