Description
"Turn your back and run," they told her. But how does a mother turn her back on her son? The advice was always the same, "Don't do it!" She did it anyway. Early October 2019, Stephanie Hammond received the call she'd dreaded for years. Her son, Charlie, had been arrested. He had been addicted to one substance or another since he was 14-years-old. It became his response to emotional trauma, and Charlie had had an extraordinary share of trauma.
When his habit escalated into dealing, her worst nightmare became a reality: prison visits, bail, parole, and much, much more. An Addict in the Family is an intimate memoir of a mother's love as she endeavours to reconnect with her son and navigate the maze of justice and drug rehabilitation services. In this heart-breaking example of how addiction affects not just the addict but also their families, there is a reminder that you are not alone, and you can find peace again.
