This story... It really touched me. The media often portrays it as something that happens after huge trauma or relates it to criminality. But it's can happen so close to home, to people who you'd never suspect it to happen to.
Thank you for sharing this story. It's an important one t share. I loved the pictures in it, especially the ones where he seems to be happy and healthy and seeing him walk side-by-side your proud grandmother <3
Thank you! They both look so happy that day, didn't they? He was out of rehab for the very last time just a few days before my wedding. We didn't know at the time that it was his last but it was so amazing to see him look healthy for the first time in nearly 10 years.
I can imagine! They look amazingly happy indeed. It must have been so hard helping him through all of this. I'm so glad you persisted and 'got him back'. Must feel like a second life for him.
He's been clean for a little over 10 years now. So in some ways the past feels like somebody else's life now...we've sort of moved on and tried our best to block it out. It was a very difficult time. Particularly watching what it did to my mom and grandma. But everyone is happy now :)
