[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 81600, member: 1967"] My difficult child called me this morning to tell me that she had heard that the 22-year-old son of one of our neighbors had been found dead in his bed this morning. He had a history of heroin and meth use but had gotten his act together lately and gone back to school. When we drove by his house a little while ago there must have been 20 cars in front. I thought about another set of parents in anguish because drugs had stolen yet another young life. I'm not particularly close to this family anymore now that our children are grown but did things with the mom and kids when they were little. I remember the boy when he was so young and innocent riding the Pink Pig (a ride that used to be an Atlanta Christmas tradition) at the annual Atlanta Festival of the Trees. What made him and so many others turn to drugs? His younger sister is also a total difficult child with a history of drug use. Yet, they came from a home where the parents did everything according to the book ~ married for 25+ years, church going family, beautiful home in the suburbs. And now this. It's not fair. I HATE drugs. Why do these things happen? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
