Solid turn around bro! I can relate to your story and feel it, it's a trip the suffering we put on ours loves, most of it from a point of not dealing with our thoughts and hiding in shame. Glad you made it out, the world's better off with this side of you shining through.

I’m so blessed I made it out of that life and on to the other side. I’m happy I was able to write an article you could somewhat relate to hopefully you didn’t relate to much. I don’t wish that shit on anyone!
I was on the "as a child of a heroin junkie" side of things. Can't really decide if that's the good or worse side of things, but I saw what it did first hand for years and grew from it, choosing not to be like they were. It hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows.... I've definitely hit some lows without jumping into the darker substances,... Somewhere along the way I picked up that psychedelics and weed are more then enough to cope and adjust mindsets. Granted it's a medicine and the goal should be to not use when the mindset has shifted, but I feel I've definitely also wallowed in those spaces longer then needed, I guess it's really about mindfulness and appreciation lessons learned and skills acquired along the way. Life is shit and shit happens, but those are just hurdles to overcome, sidequest bad guys. LoL. And the journey is always best when enjoyed, not just celebrated at the end, part of why I'm not strictly on the side of participation awards... I could go on all day on depression,.. it's fun one. But I enjoy doing the dishes, so.....
Damn being a kid thrown into that mess sounds horrible man. Im sorry you had to go through that.
"Somewhere along the way I picked up that psychedelics and weed are more then enough to cope and adjust mindsets."
I wish I could have picked that up. Those where the good days of my partying followed by the darker ones.
Tho Im completely abstinent from all mind altering substances, I defiantly see the benefits of psychedelics and support anyone who uses them on their journeys responsibly.
Do you find they help with depression? going thr life sober Ive had to figure out some fun ways to deal with my depression. Im sure ill get into all that in some latter post.
