Opiate and Crystal Meth Addict-Crash

[@islabee94]

I thought the same. Its almost like he's stuck in constant purgatory and you can tell all he really wants is what he was denied- a family and true connection.

[@AnneLien1987]

Sounds like extreme childhood trauma his memory repressed to cope.

[@hellraisincraisin]

He is an extremely aware individual. When he said he was cognizant of everything that’s happened in his life, I believe him. I hate the hand he was dealt. But, he’s extremely intelligent and has been able to cope despite all of the hardships. I’m hopeful that one day he can find peace so that he doesn’t have to live in a constant state of fight or flight. Keep pushing man, stay strong. One day at a time. Sending a lot of love your way.

@@btnhl Look up the statistics. The outlook for foster kids is grim. Sure, some make it out just fine, but it's not the norm. Many end up homeless, on drugs, or in jail. I did graduate high school by the skin of my teeth (I'm book smart but didn't do my homework.). I aged out of the system without any life skills. I didn't know how to cook, do laundry, or be financially savvy. I couch surfed, ended up in a handful of bad relationships, drank a lot to numb my feelings. I'm 44 now and my life has improved greatly, but I'm still struggling. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. I'm struggling to save money for job training (phlebotomy) and driving lessons so I can finally get my driver's license. If I hadn't been taken away from my parents, I'd for sure be worse off in life. I'd probably be dead. I apologize for the novel. Sometimes it just all comes out.

Crash, you speak so eloquently. Your use of the english language is beautiful. You know how to paint a picture of how you feel and that is rare. I think you should start to write about your life. Writing could also be an outlet to process those hard to handle feelings. I wish you didn't have to feel like an outsider in your mind. I see an articulate and principal person that wants the best for his children. If someone has called you 'weird', I would question THEIR values! Maybe the life that you have lived has made you turn inside. Made you you want to hide what you have inside you. But I tell you Crash, what I see is a good man that was delt a bad hand. But you have grown to be a man that your children could look up to. You have NOTHING to be embarrassed. Embarrassment is a “self-conscious emotion". For myself it took a long time not to give too much emphasis on what others say. Especially people that have fucking no value to your life. I hope you can find a way to deal with your emotions in an other way than drugs. I know you have it in you! It wouldn't be easy, but I wish you know that there a a lot of people here that hope you can get your life on track. You deserve it! greetings from Finland

I pray that in God's will that those who deserve the most will one day get their just due... you can tell this man has a huge heart, and he's suppressing it just to traverse this planet and the sad state of affairs that people are in... just a cut throat society... truly... people get to the top and than just spit down at those below.. the whole game and system is flawed and rigged in the worst way.

You are being sustained here for a reason and a purpose. It is always darkest before the sweetest morning. Right before I felt in life that I was just existing in survival mode, pain, anxiety constantly on and elevated, I almost destroyed myself completely...I believe if you focus on humility, opening your heart to the idea of a personal relationship with your Maker, you'll be surprised what will come to you! After an insane set of events in my life, it finally broke, so I could be rebuilt...its sounding a lot like you're close to being done with the things that keep you from what you truly are inside. It's been my experience that if you press forward with those steps in place, you'll find that in any situation, you'll see abundance of love and understanding...Discernment and strength. Crash, I think you are so close, man. Don't stop before the good part ♥️ These are tailored trials you're facing and their biggest weapon on you right now is the perception that you are stuck, it's never going to get better...Don't allow the lies of that fear dictate the outcome of your story!

I hope and pray you find God because He is our true peace. Much love to you hon. God bless you, I myself have had run in’s with both them drugs and it’s pure hell. Please get away from them for your life’s sake. God didn’t allow you to die because you have purpose, you have Kid’s and you have you, please love you and give Him and chance while you’re still alive because once we’re dead it’s too late. God bless you brother.

Crash, I’m sorry about what you went through as a kid. I believe that shapes who we are. We are responsible for our own actions, but when a kid starts their life with no fighting chance like you did, I see the consequences. You’re articulate and soft spoken, and I hope you’re able some day to work things out and get clean. Your kids need a dad like you didn’t have. Beautiful tattoo. Thanks Mark for a great interview.

[@shawnconnors596]

@@BEARHUGOUTDOORS as horrible as that is, I stand behind my comment. He is responsible for his actions, and the consequences those actions bring. Nobody was there when his child died except them. He knows in his heart what actually happened, and is maybe a reason he can’t get clean..he’s covering pain and shame. He served a lot of time for what happened and we are not here to judge because we don’t know facts. Also, I know that there are thousands of kids that had a shitty childhood that are thriving members of society. That’s wonderful, but trauma shapes us, and some just can’t get past it.

Everyone is very sympathetic to this man. If she died of “SIDS” that would be proven. He admitted he was not a good guy and his daughter had vomit and blood when she was found deceased. My thoughts are the parents were both High and pissed that this baby was screaming. But those are my thoughts. This man is high as hell on crystal. I love how in Marks interviews they love and want their kids……….but, they do nothing due to their addictions. I wish these people would not procreate. They do it for selfish reasons to get housing and a check til they are taken away. Good Luck Crash Man.

It never ceases to amaze me just how cogent and present some people come off/appear to be during the midst of their worst battles of their lives. Harder battles than most of us will ever even be able to comprehend. Opiate addiction is hard enough, but then to couple it with methamphetamine addiction I honestly find it difficult to even be able to grasp just how hard the fight is going on in this guy's head. It's seriously not easy to be able to understand what guys like this are going through. The darkest thoughts, the darkest times of people's lives, the things going through his head on a daily basis is enough to make most people want to be dead. I'm sure he himself feels like he would be better off dead sometimes. It's so hard to imagine man. The empathy I fee for total strangers going through the things he goes through is powerful enough to break me down every day. I feel his pain and his anguish and his troubles existence. Nobody deserves the mindset that people like this end up with after years or decades plus of drug abuse. if you saw me on the street or in the coffee shop or wherever, I might seem to be a normal person as far as first appearance goes, but man, you would never be able to know or see the pain I go through every day just to try and stay alive. It's not visible at first glance, and yet at the same time these are the hardest days of my adult life I've ever been through. You wouldnt know that looking at me, but it's the ultimate truth. I am struggling to make it to tomorrow every single day.

[@incantationsbykaryn]

@@vacheriedevacherie1959 As a recovering addict I agree with you. However, being severely addicted to drugs does not really allow for "good parenting" per say but it does not make it impossible. I personally did not have children because of this and some are sicker than others. I believe that some addicted people think that children will cure them, ease their pain and allow them to undo what was done to them because they are very sick and they don't understand the ramifications fully, even someone like himself who clearly is a victim of his environment and the abandonment and lack of parenting he experienced as a child. I knew not to have children because I knew I was not going to be a good mother and I never wanted to put a child through what I went through. Again, some people are sicker than others in their addiction and we're dealing with a lot of mental health issues and people who are lacking love, care and guidance and so in their twisted thought processes, most likely they are thinking that a brand new baby in the world would be an excellent way to receive unconditional love and provide a safe and warm environment ideally that they did not have. Unfortunately, addicts do not normally play the tape all the way through and so they lack the ability to see the picture clearly and the reality clearly and we all know what that is. Unfortunately in most cases they end up destroying another life and they delve further and further into their addictions due to overwhelming guilt, shame, remorse and unbearable pain. This is NOT an excuse, I just speak from experience and know how his feelings and low self-esteem and lack of any discipline or parental love or guidance have dictated every move he is made in his life most likely. A lot of kids like him never do recover at all and if that's the situation there will never be any peace and there will be no understanding and we will be stuck with our thumbs up our asses trying to figure out what to do with all these damaged individuals. This calls for at least a little compassion and probably an ability to see past your judgment. Everybody judges I get it, however, not everybody processes trauma and pain as well as the next guy and it just spirals from there. Once you are an adult you cannot make excuses the rest of your life for your screw UPS but you also cannot kick your own ass until the day you die over past transgressions or the cycle will never be broken and we will then find ourselves looking in the face of another damaged and mixed up individual most probably working on continuing the cycle until it goes on ad infinitum OR try a little understanding and a lot of work on yourself and hopefully break the cycle so that they're offspring does not end up the way he has.

@@incantationsbykaryn having a child to fill a void is a bad idea from the get go, as adults we know this. As adults, we also have the capacity to learn, see, seek help, read, see a therapist, etc. It’s hard enough for people to be decent parents without any drugs or alcohol, if you put those substances on too of it, you are doomed.

There are many variables in the middle, of course, but once an addict gets a taste of "easy" gratification", there are few that can turn away.
