Today was a very interesting day. We had a presentation about addictions. There were 3 guest speakers (2 man and 1 woman) who had been addicted. One of them had almost killed himselve 2 times by using drugs.The other man was addicted to alcohol and the woman had been sexualy abused as a child by her parent(s). To make her live easier she started using drugs. When she turned 16 she got married so she could leave her house, and than her husband raped her. Now she has a son who is in prison because of the use of drugs and alcohol..... Pfff

While reading/writing this I wonder why some people have so muck bad luck all their live... being abused by your own parents is bad enough.... I feel so sorry for this woman, and all the people who have to live in so much pain and negative energie while so young you should be tought love and respect by your parents instead of anger and pain!
