[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 764541, member: 23742"] Newstart, I am so very sorry that we both share the loss of a son. Thank you so much for your words of comfort. And how sad it is that your friends have recently had losses of children as well, and to drug overdoses. I can’t tell you how many people have shared with my husband and me that their child had used drugs or is currently struggling with drug abuse—it is truly an epidemic and just breaks my heart. If I was younger and had more energy, I might consider talking to school kids about specifically, meth and how destructive it is. All drugs have their potential lethal consequences, I guess, but I have never in my life seen such a horrible transformation of a person after what started out as ”casual” usage of a drug as I saw in my son. There really is no casual with meth. One time is all it takes for some people to be affected mentally, as well as physically of course, but it was particularly hard on my son’s mental state which was fragile to begin with. Thank you for “listening.” The support here is so uplifting and I am very grateful. Love, Nandina [/QUOTE]
