Drug Addiction and Rehab: What a difference a year can make

Last year at this time my oldest had come out of rehab, determined to clean himself up from the drugs he was addicted to. I had made the hardest choice of my life in throwing him out, and was left to wonder how did that happen? To my child. We had never done drugs and constantly warned them that we would not tolerate them using them. Bipolarism is nasty. When others use drugs for recreational purposes it is to get 'high', either to laugh or sleep or be different. For him it was to get normal, or as close to normal as he could be with bipolar.  Read more >

My name is Angel and I am the mother of a teenager with an addiction. Like many mom's I always said, 'not my kids, not my house, they know how we feel, we have never ever done them so they have never been exposed to them'. Oh how wrong I was.   Read more >

About Me: 

I am a SAHM to 3 wonderful and rambunctious boys. I have been married to my husband Gene for 14 years and we have been friends for 20+ years. I am a christian, however please don't think I am religious. I have found religion leaves a bad taste in my mouth, I prefer to follow the thing that Jesus told us to do. Love God above all else and Love others as ourselves. Judgment is not mine to dole out, I have enough sin in my own world to worry about yours. I have also learned that a relationship with Jesus is a life requirement for me, simply because without Him I would not be where I am. My life is filled with tears and laughter sometimes both at the same time. But life is funny that way...
