Advice from Annie Lane.
: I am also a parent of a child who lost his battle with addiction in 2022. There are so many of us with difficult stories to share.
I have come to view those years with my son as a time where I examined the fragility of life and the undeniable love I had for another person. I miss my son every day, but I wouldn’t take one bit of my time away from him, even though many of those times were bleak. I see the world much differently now and am a better person for that.
I’m 60 years old. What that “need” got me was years of therapy for the way I was treated, and I’ll probably be in therapy for the rest of my life.
