Hopefully they have other strong influences in their lives. It might be other relatives, teacher, etc. They also have a very strong desire not to live like that or subject their children to it.

Take there morals from others.
Great Parents sometimes get necrophile murders for children.
Dad Smoked/drunk and unsuccessful, I’m an engineer with a Doctorate that’s sober/smokeless.
of course they pick up everything the parent does. then when they are older they can decide if that is who they want to be. then every time they do something that their parent would do, they can stop themselves and talk themselves out of it.
