i don't have a story to tell about being addicted to this horrible drug, but i have the story of how it ruined my life by my parents abuse. my life will never go back to the way it was before. my parents would lock them selves in the bathroom and shoot. i was a younger kid, and didn't really understand what was going on, but i knew it wasn't normal or good. soon this started happening everyday. my dad started hitting on my mom my little brother and i. my mom soon lost her job and they were depending on my grandparents for money. my brother and i would go a while with out eating proper meals. mainly junk food. and i never came to school, and when i did it wasn't on time. i started arguing with my mom a whole lot and got tired of it all and moved in with my grandparents. shortly after defax came and took my brother away. and sent him to my aunt and uncle who have now adopted my little brother and i nor my mom or our side of the family have anything to do with him. when i was in fourth grade my mom came and went from my grandparents home. whenever she was trying to get clean. i used to cry at night missing my mom. and finally when i was in fifth grade she became clean. i'm so proud of her! (: and so happy to have her in my life. my dad however is still struggling with his addiction. my parents are divorced now. and i never want anything to do with my father ever again. this drug turned my mommy's life into hell. she will never get to mother her only son. and she has perminet scars on her chest and a bad criminal record. but she is doing great and have been for maybe over three years now. im so proud of her. and for any kids that are in the situation i was: stay strong i know its hard, but try your best to get out of the situation. to people whom have not been affected by the horrible drug: never ever try it. and for people who have been clean: that's awesome! and keep up the good work (: and for people whom are addicted: i pray for you every single night. and have faith you can be clean. and for people that are in the process of becoming clean: keep up the good work. i pray for you also. just have faith in Jesus Christ, he will help you and be there for you at your lowest points.
