I had 3 sons. 1 died at 25 with kidney failure due to drugs. One other son ended up divorced and turned his back on me after I tried to talk to him about his drug use. I have tried to accept my youngest son's drug use so I don't lose contact with him. My husband was a heroin and every other drug addict after Vietnam. It didn't kill him till he was 55. He was abusive. I had to work full time to support my sons. I divorced him when they were young to keep us safe. He was never a dad, but they all turned to drugs. I never used drugs, or drank. I've been a broken person for many years, but I only show smiles to the world. I'm 71 now. I still work, but I'm so weary. Work does help to keep my mind off this tragedy, so I will keep on.

NEVER lose hope!!!! I’m 37 years old. I was heavily addicted to EVERYTHING from the time I was 15-34! I tried 9 rehabs, numerous jail stay, halfway houses- my mom kicked me out over and over.. I wanted to get clean it just never worked for me. It wasn’t until I was 34 years old and went to rehab once again and something clicked that time… I’ve been clean 4 years now. I finally had a baby, she will be a year on Saturday. I’ve accumulated so many things in these 4 short years that I thought I would NEVER have in my whole life. I just knew i was going to be homeless, in jail, or dead for the rest of my life.. Even if your sons slip up and relapse, don’t lose hope!!! I am most grateful that my mother is still alive and got to see me clean, and living a healthy, happy life. My prayers for you guys.

For 20 years I never found another mother like myself.. thank you for sharing. I have 3 sons, all with addiction. These are my only children. My sons are in their 30’s with not having typical joys of growing up, first dates, loving partners, or careers, nor any money to get by and be truly self supportive. All college educated, by addiction has stolen their future now for years and years. Their of Loss of self esteem, their own shame despite their parents unconditional love eats away at them and keeps them hooked into dependency and dysfunction. I’ve navigated the mental health system for 20 years… alone. A disjointed terrible system. I am so great full for Al-Anon. My heart breaks hardest when I close my eyes at night and feel their pain. A mothers a pain that only a mother can feel.

Our family has talked about this and if we could go back and do it again we would sell our house, buy an RV, homeschool while on the road, and keep the whole family together while seeing the country. Going to church together every Sunday and staying close to God by reading scriptures and praying together. Alcohol destroyed so much of the years we had and the future of my siblings. I’ve watched alcohol ruin virtually everything in their lives. This is why I hate alcohol & always will. We have only been able to maintain sanity because of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is our strength. God bless you all who are going through this. I know there is hope to all that truly want it.

Congratulations for your family! Don’t give the rehab too much credit because NO rehab is going to “work” if the user doesn’t WANT it to. Sounds like your son truly took it seriously this time and actually WANTS sobriety instead of YOU wanting it FOR him. I am proud of HIM and glad that you found a rehab he was comfortable in. I admire your patience and attitude in standing by and helping them instead of just throwing them to the wolves! ALL of your children have awesome parents! Good luck.

Omg I cried as I heard your story, realizing what an answer to prayer it was. I have no friends or family members in my life who are not in complete denial about their own issues, whether or not substances are part of the equation. I have cried out to the Lord for Him to bring people into my life who are not living in denial, who are emotionally self-aware, who are fearlessly facing their pain. I realized as I listened to this video that He has answered that prayer, not by sending real flesh-and-blood people but by leading me to the people in this series of videos. Thank God for you and your courage to make this video and tell your story with complete transparency!

We have done that and he was worse on the streets. I rescued him from the streets and death in 2020. We moved to the other side of the country and it didnt help he found drugs here as well.

So sad and heartbreaking.....with these boys experiencing such a drug at a young age........it seems it made it harder for these kids. That child that gave the drug to your son.......should have been spoken to along with his parents. God bless this family.

I hope you don't blame yourself for any action or non-action you may have taken. There's no way to predict what impact any choice on your side would have had. You are an amazing mom.

This Mam is truely a loving Mam. I think many parents lose their pride in their children and want to restore the family as quickly as possible but this is impossible as addiction can take many many years to master the addiction. It is sad to see the ugly drugs take over young peoples lives. I am glad that she and her husband believe in God and that they haven't lost their belief in education and learning. I recently met a man at the train station. He told of his life as a homeless drug addict. He now after ten years has a fultime job with people who have a drug addiction. He was happy again and thanked me for the talk.

That new rehab sounds very positive. 30 days isn’t enough time. Good point about not immediately kicking out if relapse. That’s when help most needed

My Dear Linda, My prayers are with you and your family. I too have a son lost to this horrible disease. The heartbreak we mothers/parents feel is immeasurable. But..GOD. He has the final say, and perfect timing. As long as they have breath, there is a absolute chance of recovery. Nothing is too big for Heavenly Father! We just have to have faith of a mustard seed, and lay our burdens down at His feet. Peace be with you. I know how hard it is. God bless everyone struggling with this ❤

I wonder how much attention, energy, etc. these sons’ addictions stole from their mom’s students? May God please bless the students who lost out as this teacher/mother coped/copes with so much addictive fall out. Her students matter too, imo.
