[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 633887"] [url]http://www.jsonline.com/news/a-son-succumbs-to-heroin-a-father-struggles-to-understand-b99337686z1-273345531.html?ipad=y[/url] My metro newspaper ran this in 2-parts- and it's really poignant. The subtitle is "a battle to emerge from heroin's hell" It's a detailed look inside look at a good family - a kid with two loving parents & many advantages - and how their lives got turned upside down by drug use. It tells their story from both the dad and son's perspective. When I read the title "succumbs" - I assumed that is was a sad ending- but it isn't. The son is now clean - after a long road to recovery - but he still has struggles. In fact, he is 24 but often has the maturity if a 16 year old. We've talked so much about that in this forum- how our kids can get stuck at the maturity age they were when they started using. Their story is like so many of our own in many ways- regardless of our difficult child's substance if choice. It's a good read [/QUOTE]
