Drug Addiction and Alcoholism is not just a one person problem. Drug
Addiction and Alcoholism causes Pain in Families and effects everyone. When any individual is
addicted to drugs or alcohol the effects are far reaching for the family
and friends. The story below is just one example of thousands of people
effected every day by the Pain and Suffering of Families involved with Drug
Addiction and
Alcoholism.
I have a son-in-law who is married to my daughter for 7
years and they have been together for 10 years . They have 2 beautiful
kids a son 8 and a daughter 4 and he had a problem with drugs that she
helped him with when they first met and his only thing he continued with
is smoking pot. all of a sudden he changed when his brother and
sister-in-law split up and he moved closer to them. he started staying
away from home, they live with my husband and I so they could save money
and that never happened . As of December 2003 he moved out and told his
mother his wife threw him out so she would take him in, which was far from
the truth, and my daughter told her so too. they have a good relationship
and she now sees for herself that he is into doing cocaine and alcohol and
does not care what it is doing to his family. My
daughter and him see each other so its not like they are totally separated
but she has tried everything to show him what he's doing to the kids as
well as her and is finally had all she can take and has given him an
ultimatum and if he chooses not to be with them then she will cut him out
of there lives for good and her mother-in-law agrees with her because she
does not do any form of drugs herself nor does she smoke and she feels she
can't stand by and watch him destroy himself. We really think he would
refuse any help because of his brother and friends that all have the same
addiction and he won't give in because it would make him less of a man in
there eyes. He is only 28 and he is a follower and that too is bad. I
don't know what will happen but at least I feel somewhat better having
told my story |
