Someone who abuses drugs and is also a parent. They're usually a character's parent, but sometimes they're the main character themself. Unlike its sister trope the Alcoholic Parent, this is almost never Played for Laughs (and it's Black Comedy when it is). These types of parents are far more likely to be portrayed as Abusive Parents or neglectful parents than alcoholic parents are. Also, unlike Alcoholic Parent (which leans towards fathers), this trope is more unisex (with a lean towards mothers). Sister trope to Alcoholic Parent. Usually a subtrope of Struggling Single Mother, and often overlaps with Single Mom Stripper. See also Addled Addict. |

Worm: Brian's mother is a hopeless drug addict with whom he is fighting for custody of his younger sister Aisha. The latter's personal eccentricities are implied to be the result of her mother abusing drugs while pregnant with her (though the grossly incompetent upbringing such a parent could provide certainly won't have helped,) and one of the few times Aisha is completely serious is when she's worrying about whether her mother will get pregnant again and have a kid "even more retarded than [her]." | |

In You Don't Own Me, Kendra Bell insists that her inability to properly care for her children - or herself for that matter - was because of severe post-partum depression, but many people speculate that she was actually on drugs due to her often appearing confused, lethargic and "zombie-like". The nanny Caroline says that the Bells were the only family she'd ever worked for that included a stay-at-home parent, with Kendra being unable to handle childcare most of the time and spending a lot of time sleeping. Caroline admits that while she believes Kendra did have depression, there was something seriously off with her behaviour. Kendra also refused to take a drug test on the night Martin was killed. In media coverage of her husband Martin's death, Kendra was often referred to as "Stoner Mom". Laurie eventually deduces - with Kendra confirming - that she was addicted to painkillers, but she was also seriously depressed; Kendra's own husband got her hooked on the pills to treat her depression rather than get her actual treatment. Kendra managed to get clean after Martin died, but says that she tried to hide her past addiction out of shame and because she was afraid her parents-in-law would use it to remove her children from her custody. | |

In The Bernie Mac Show, Bernie and his wife, Wanda, gain custody of his sister's kids, Vanessa, Jordan, and Brianna, because their mother was forced into rehab due to her severe drug addiction, which was so bad that Vanessa, the eldest sibling who was thirteen at the beginning of the series, was essentially running their household before Bernie was given custody. In one episode the family goes back to Chicago for a visit, and when they went to the rehab, Bernie's sister broke out and wasn't found until after the family went back to Los Angeles. | |

Twin Peaks: A minor character in Season 3 is a young boy whose mother is addicted to heroin. He lives next door to where Dougie meets with Jade and is a witness to several acts of violence, such as the explosion of Dougie's car. James Hurley's mother is never shown on-screen, but James mentions that she uses drugs; consequently, his relationship with her is poor. James is basically raised by his Parental Substitute and uncle Big Ed, although he doesn't live at his house. All of this aids in James' characterization as the Troubled, but Cute guy from the wrong side of the tracks. |

Wicked: Elphaba's deceased mother Melena was a blue blood who left her riches to marry a preacher who she thought would be successful, only to end up living in the middle of nowhere. This led to a very bland life, made worse by her husband often being away. Melena was prone to chewing leaves that left her in a drugged state and often made her pass out. She also liked wine. | |

Rivers of London: Peter's father is a former junkie, enabled by his fame as a jazz legend. However, Peter isn't the most introspective of protagonists, so this really only gets spotlighted when he visits his parents — Peter's mother effectively cared for both of them through Peter's childhood. | |
