I saw an ad for a new film starring Julia Roberts as the parent of an addicted young adult who is returning home for Xmas. The movie is called "Ben Is Back" and I believe it opens on Friday.
I don't think W and I will be seeing it, even though drug addiction isn't really our trigger (that would be suicide). Despite the fact that both DS and YS are using marijuana, and we do know their usage has been heavy at times, we haven't really seen the impact of their drug use on every day life, since we are totally shut out of their lives at present.
I know many of us here on this forum are dealing with this very issue and the film may be relevant/triggering for some, so I thought I'd start a thread.
Reviews I've seen aren't the best but that is sometimes the case even for movies I like, so I don't know how seriously to take those.
