A very Grateful thank you!
For the support. It's heartbreaking to see your child go through this, knowing you have demons that you never defeated but are able to keep at bay. Nobody ever defeats an addiction, they just learn to live each day without it or with it, knowing one false step, arrogance or a false sense of security can be the final downfall. Recognizing you have a problem is less difficult than actually doing something about it. I love fluff. What I meant about that is, revealing something this intimate when you are a very private person, is not easy. Thank you for the hugs, the love and support. Peace to all of you!

A Powerful Write
First of all, my heart goes out to you for the pain of watching your daughter battle addiction. This poem is one that almost anyone in any family can relate to, I think. You bite reality in the ass with it. Yeah, I'm ending with prepositions but, so what? If you can help her to get clean, as often as it takes, try, and keep trying, and never give up. Fluff, yeah, it may be easy, depends upon root of the motivation though. Often in the past people have misread me, and I don't mean on paper. Great write.

This made me so sad.
A very powerful poem written at a time in history when Western society appears to me to be in a dreadful mess.
What is the point in getting rid of Drug Lords if there is such a market for a product. My heart goes out to you and I send you hugs.
