A person that you know that is normally outgoing and very responsible gets addicted to drugs is just breaks my heart. My aunt four kids and had it all together until she met this man, and he took over her life with drugs. She abandoned the kids and left with the man because she was so addicted to drugs. She started prostituted herself just so she could get a hit. She was robbing people even her own family. Well. all the kids were split up with different relative. My aunt finally got caught and she was sentenced to jail. While she was in jail they were suppose to help her clean up her act. When she got out the first thing she did was go look for drugs, jail had did nothing for her. She was the same junk she was before she went, but she was just ten time worse. When a person has a problem with addiction jail is not the solution. These people need real help that will have them function in everyday society. A person going to jail for an addiction that will not be corrected there is wasting the taxpayers money that could be going towards educated our children. The prison that rehabilitate anyone it makes them worse.

I feel for you and your family, but most of all, for the children who suffer for their mother's addiction. While many people find it easy to place blame on the addict, we must also realize that once the ember is lit, there is potential for a full inferno. I agree that sticking a person in jail does nothing for them because they are addicted. It is like a disease that grows and metastasizes out of control. Treatment and therapy facilities within the state jail system would be more beneficial than just taking the person out of the environment. If anything, one can hope that this experience will lead her children to triumph instead of following in her footsteps. I will keep your family in my prayers.

I agree, going to jail is not the solution. Sorry to hear about your family member, because the kids are the one that is suffering from all of this. All addicts think of is getting high or the next fix of drugs, despite the fact they have kids. It's so sad for the children to have been seperated because their mother chose drugs over them.In my eyes drug addicts will do whatever they have to do to get the drugs, I believe that each person has heard of or known of that is addicted to drugs. Jails are not designed to help a person that's addicted to derugs, it actually makes them worse, because it's almost as if they are going through withdrawl and that is where the rehab steps in and makes a huge change. I wish your family the best and maybe soon your family member will wake up and realize it's time to stop!
