It's about the guilt she carries and the low self worth that she thinks she wouldn't be good enough for them. Samantha, if you ever read this, I am a Mom. Had my kids around the same time as you. Have gone through some things similar, very tough, situations and, TRUST ME, you can get through this and can be a good Mom but it's all up to you. It's all within you.

If you know how they hijack the brain, you'd know that an addict needs to go through AT LEAST 90 days sober before neuroplasticity begins to take place in the addicted brain. This means that neural pathways are rewired and reformed, but it takes a long time of sobriety and therapy before even becoming "normal" again. It's one step at a time.

Drug addiction is a mental issue in which the addicts have no control. They need to be committed to psychiatric wards. Mental health and drug addiction is the #1 issue in America. Crime, government spending, broken families, etc. all lead to this issue.
@Dictatortot-n3d11 ай бұрын
Its a problem is getting worse. All of it stems from trauma that could have been resolved early on, playing catch up is no way to solve issues like addiction and mental health.
