That’s almost every hardcore drug addict on this series. They will do anything and everything to catch that next high. Robbing old ladies, knocking out an old man to take a couple dollars. Stealing from little kids. A lot of these stories are sad but I don’t have any sympathy. We ALL have problems and the majority of us just deal with them. Like adults are supposed to do. Right now there’s a woman watching this that was molested as a child but she didn’t use it as an excuse. She picked herself up and now she helps talk to other girls that went through similar things. I do feel for some of these people but I don’t feel sorry for them

[@jamesandrews568]

[@Dalester1979]

My middle nephew that we've adopted has ODD and it is extremely trying, to say the least, to deal with. He does irritating things all the time for negative attention and only because he KNOWS we don't want him to be doing them. He's careless and a slob. Very self-centered, but at the same time has a heart of gold and cares for others when no one else does. His newest ailment that he plays is a "cough". A "cough" that only happens when it's time to settle down and watch cartoons before bedtime. Before the cough it was sniffling, to where we'd tell him to blow his nose. Then it was clearing his throat and playing with his hair. The reason why I know it's for attention is that if I threaten to send him to bed early, miraculously the cough, sniffling, etc; stops. All three of my nephews that we've adopted have ADHD severely and having three at once has been very trying at times. Their mother did uppers and downers for street drugs during all of her pregnancies, including her eldest son that is 21 that was adopted out as an infant. They were 6,7, and 11 when we got them home with us. They have come so far. So very proud of them. Cannot wait to see what they do with their lives and how they blossom and help make this world a better place.

Then they get their drugs and yeah... It can be exhausting trying to keep up. But I've seen her without the drugs many many times thru my life, and unfortunately even then, she/they ramble, are "quirky" and don't know how to compose themselves within societal "norms". The ADHD mind from how she explained it, craves the speed/caffeine/Adderall/meth because it actually helps soothe their brain. But... Then some people overdo and abuse the stimulants that once helped them, and then that's when we see them awake for days on end, not eating or drinking, without even knowing it most of the time, until they either find another drug to knock themselves out or sometimes psychosis kicks in, and eventually they pass out or get hurt and taken to the ER or jail to finally come down and then sleep it off for the next few days.

He got out himself and blames the girlfriend for not grabbing the little baby. He didn't even say that he tried. Fair enough might have been impossible but to show no remorse or guilt for what happened his child ( whether he is at fault or not) is very worrying. Regardless of the circumstances a natural emotion for surving a situation like that would be guilt for those who didn't survive. Hopefully it's the drugs that have him so devoid of such feelings and its not his default.

Drug addiction is not an excuse for his lack of accountability and guilt. And by the sounds of it his behaviour and lack of empathy was there long before he started taking drugs. Hate to be so negative but ...I work with children with ADHD and ODD , some medicated some not, I'm trained how to best support them in their daily lives, how to give them them the opportunity to reach their full potential and how to teach them strategies on how to regulate their behaviours and emotions.

I was really surprised he didn't mention it when he was asked about regrets in life. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt until that point. I thought maybe he didn't realize there was a gas leak. Or he thought the mother was with their baby and would bring their baby outside. Maybe the house blew up right as he realized this, and he didn't have time to go back and get their baby. But in any of the scenarios I thought of, I still find it shocking that there would be no mention of not saving their child when asked about regrets. Maybe he was that detached. Maybe he's that cold. Maybe drug abuse messed with his head so much during and after that time, that he was incapable of really feeling the sense of loss that hurts so deeply.

This is a dangerous dude. Willing to do anything to get high with little remorse. U can tell hes been in a lot of fights. This may be an unpopular opinion, but i wonder how much medicating children for being "different" ie - not able to conform to sitting for hours in an educational institution, paves the way for later drug use and life in the fringes. I mean, he even says, he was already medicated on a daily basis w adderal....

As Tyrone addressed in his last SWU interview "Are you ready to die?" there's a spiritual hole or void present. To Tyrone's credit, he acknowledges his particular emptiness which addicts chose to fill with drugs. Once someone has turned their life over to serious drug addiction, there is a progressive lack of control within the addict's psyche. It's a Catch 22 situation wherein the drug of choice, especially meth & crystal, gives the user a sense of power & control. The drug addict then is in a state of constant craving & a desire to constantly fill the hole within them. Oftentimes they become callous & view other people as just objects to feed off of & use to their advantage as the drug user sinks farther & farther into their dark hole.

Some of his life mottos are good. Never give up and work hard regardless of what's in your way are really good and useful. Most of the things he says are very very stupid and inaccurate though. His way of thinking is very deluded, uneducated, and incorrect. It's interesting how he throws in some useful tidbits that make sense for successful people, while usually thinking like a complete failure for the most part. I hope he gets off drugs and tries to change himself into a more successful and better person. He's bound to be homeless forever if he doesn't change,and likely won't live very long at all.
