Hi @appiepearl
My name is Gail and my daughter is an addict, I am raising her son, my grandson and what I have found is that addiction doesn't discriminate. It will grab you and steal everything you ever thought you had. Just when you think its done and the nightmare is over, it will laugh in your ear like a Stephen King made Tiny Tim and whisper "more please"! That statement is actually from my blog @gails-word-syrup that I write about how addiction has effected our family. Addiction hurts family, its healing for me to get it out. I never lose hope I hold onto my daughters humanity. I love the addict and hate the addiction and the collateral damage that comes from it, because of it. Thank you for sharing your story.
Beautifully said, Gail. You, your daughter and your family are in my thoughts.
