From the Eyes of An Addicts Mother-Reflecting On the Birth of My Child

On July 10th my son had born to him a bouncing baby boy. However the baby was early and quickly developed some complications not due to the fault of anyone... just one of those things.

My son, who has been through many trials in his oh so short life, with addictions and the like was overcome with immediate love for this little human he brought into the world.

I was thinking back about my sons birth and how much love I felt for him the second he was born. He had no problems at birth... his developed later on. My son has said to me many times over the course of the last few days since the baby was born that "He totally understands why I would get so crazy upset with him when he was doing crazy things". I guess it just takes some growing up.

The baby recovered....thanks to the grace of God and went home yesterday....my son is as well recovering thanks to the grace of God.

From the Eyes of An Addicts Mother

In my time on the net, providing information about addictions that I have learned through my own experience with an addicted child, I have found that there really are not many places for parents of addicted children to truly express their real feelings on the subject without fear of being judged or put down. This goes for not just parents, but anyone who cares about or has an addict in their life.


So... The Addicts Attic, me, will be providing a new addition to the site. I will be sharing some of my personal experience and my TRUE feelings that manifested and are still coming up in some related situations today about the trials of addiction. If it turns out that I am jugged harshly by some... I guess that’s unavoidable...


But I truly believe it's time for people to have a place where they can vent their HONEST feelings and do it in a place where others can truly understand where they are coming from. A place to truly share hurts, sorrows, regrets, triumphs or to just complain and get it all out.


Please join me in sharing your personal experience by leaving comments on the posts from this series:
