This is a journey I have painfully been on for 6 years when my eldest child started dabbling in drugs with your typical ‘pathway drug’ marijuana at 15/16 years old. You never in a million years when looking at your beautiful children think that this is the turmoil your family would be exposed to.
The stereotypical attitude that this only happens to certain families…..how wrong people are. My son had the best of everything from top private school education, a family that loves him and prospect for his future. A talented soccer player and musician, but now it all is forgotten. There is a stranger in our family tearing us apart. Maybe he had it to easy, maybe he had to much freedom, maybe he had to much love….maybe maybe maybe! He chose this path and to drag us all with him, slowly having family members drop off where I’m the only one left not giving up on my son.
Fast forward 6 years, he has moved to Melbourne where he has been in jail for the last four months for stealing, graffiti, and breaking & entering all when he was completely high on drugs or alcohol, probably both….the most common being ICE. I have now relocated States to move to try one last time to help him get his life together, the biggest challenge and safety risk of my life……
