As a mother, I beg you to give our children another chance to heal. They are good people with a bad disease. They need help, not judgement.As a mother, I am aware of how distasteful and alien addiction is to most people. Addiction was the last thing I wanted for my child, and I did everything I could think of to provide stability and love to my children: homemade meals, story time, museum trips, tennis lessons, art classes, kayaking with Outward Bound, and unconditional love.
After a 28-day program, he was released. He looked shell-shocked, as if the world he stepped back into was reeling from an explosion, and as his father and I spoke words — “We love you. You look great! How are you?” — he just stared at us in muffled confusion. So, we kicked him out in 2018, and our son lived on the streets of Kensington where he was beaten with a hammer and shot. The hospital got him a taxi and sent him home to us. Fortunately, my sister, who is a nurse practitioner, cared for him and taught me how to clean his wounds.
And my son is alive today. My son is alive, and I get to go to lunch with him at Reading Terminal and swim in the ocean with him and laugh with him — all the things so many parents can’t do.
