The TRUTH about METH
I am the mother of a 23-year-old meth addict. My son began using meth about 3 years ago, before meth it was pills, pot, and alcohol. I tried everything to change him and correct this problem. I took him to a counselor, put him in a private school, quit my job to chase him around and made sure he did not use, I also divorced my husband because I thought he was part of the problem. There is really nothing else for me to do, I have done it all and seen it all. Of all the drugs my son has used meth is has been the most devasting. The things that meth users do are unbelievable. I do not share my story with many people because you would have to live around this craziness to really believe these things actually happen. The first time I was around his meth use was when he was in my home and he started telling me people were after him and that they kept riding by our home. I had never heard of such foolishness. He opened all the curtains in the house and he kept looking out the windows. The next thing he started telling me was our phone was tapped and he needed to work on the phone downstairs to correct this problem. I did not understand what was going on but it kept getting crazier. My daughter and I got scared and decided we should call the police from my cell phone. My son was still downstairs working on the phone and did not know we had called the police. I was watching for the police to arrive and went outside as soon as I saw their cars pull onto my driveway. They started screaming at me to get my hands up. The police asked me where my son was and I told them he was downstairs. They stormed my home through the front door and back door, I could not get back into the home during this time. My son did not know what was going on and he came up from downstairs with a screwdriver in his hand. A police officer threw him up against the wall and knocked a huge hole in the wall. One officer pulled his gun out and was screaming drop it. I didn't know what was going on, I was still trapped outside due to all of the officers that responded. They said he turned the screw driver on them. Needless to say, they searched my home and found pipes, and a baggie with pot seeds. My son was arrested and taken to jail on his first felony charge. Even a trace amount of meth in a pipe is a felony. This wild ride is still on and off. He is either in jail or rehab about 8-9 months out of a year. We have been in the emergency room, several times. Once he was rushed to the emergency room and when I arrived at the emergency room they told me he was not there. That is the new confidentaliy law. They do not give out information on a drug overdose or attempted suicide. You can lay in the emergency room and die unless you sign a relese of information form, which is hard to do when you're unconscious. I have gone thorught the arrests, near death emergencies, facing prison time, having my home burgalized, having checks stolen and cashed, having my TV and other items stolen and pawned. My son went into a half-house in another state to get away from meth and low and behold drug dealers seemed to pop out of the woodwork. He was kicked out for coming home high and calling me because he was on the street with no where to go. The moral of this story is you can always find what you are looking for if you look hard and long enough. It is a heartbreaking path that my son has chosen to take. I do not and can not understand it but I am sure you other users will have a better understanding. My son's father was an alcoholic and committed suicide at 24 years old. I thought going through the suicide of my husband would be the worse thing I ever faced in my life, boy was I wrong. Watching my son destroy his life over the past 6-7 years has been much worse than that experience. Meth use is a slow death, and if you want to know the damage it does to your body do a little research. It destroys your mind, muscles, etc. I was stunned to see someone whose mind was totally gone, they will need to be taken care of for the rest of their life. This is not a joke, it is for real. My son is now serving 6 months in a probation detention center for not following is probation orders. He missed Christmas with the family and will be locked up on his birthday. I do love and care about him, but I know he is in a much better place than he was on the streets. I pray that each person reading this story will realize where they are in life and seek to get the help they need. Do not be in deniel, face the truth and do what you must do to be safe and happy. Everyone deserves that! Here is an informative website I found: www.mamasite.net (Mothers Against Meth), check it out. Let's not hide the ugliness of meth use, let's bring it to the forefront and expose it for what it is!
