Thank you immensely for sharing your story. Addictions are just plain horrible. I really broke down when you spoke of your son refusing to hug his Father because he knew what had happened. Our poor kids never asked to be put in a situation of seeing their parents at their lowest points and suffering from addictions. I know I put my drug addiction above the importance of some aspects of how it would affect the lives of my children at times and it’s very difficult to think back of that selfishness. Like you said at the end of the episode, I’m sure Dan is looking down upon you and proud of the Mama you are.
I wish you and your children all the happiness that life can offer.

:purple_heart: I’m a bit speechless because it is a very sad experience. You are so right about beauty can come from the darkest places.

The way you speak about Daniel I can feel the love you have for him. You spoke so well about addiction and how it affected both of you.
Your strong and beautiful inside and out and I hope you can see yourself.A wonderful mum, a wonderful human being who is trying to brake the stigma and sharing the deepest pain with people to try to help them.
You are amazing :people_hugging: :people_hugging:
