"intuition and imagination and intelligence"
Addicts need to focus on themselves when recovering and I've met addicts who gave up their kids for the better of all concern. That is truly heroic. And touching.
Indeed as is the sacrifice of any parent willing to give up a child for adoption in hopes of a better life.
I saw a documentary on crystal meth that featured a rehab that allowed parents to bring their kids with them to treatment. The idea being that seeing their kids would motivate them to get with the program. I thought that was a HORRIBLE idea. Like these kids haven't dealt with enough you openly place their parent's sobriety on their shoulders. Not to mention being locked in with a group of detoxing meth heads
I agree on the program being harmful. Fuckin' adults need to stop being victims.
