The News.
Hi friends. Just home from the road – in Denver teaching this week and then off into the Rockies for an intervention.
I’d just landed, back in New York when an email came in last evening from Nancy Grace asking me to come on the show last night to chat about drugs and the family. A “ripped from the headlines” situation where grandma was making meth while the kids played in the room.
Here’s a bit of transcript from the show. As out there as this story may seem, consider how many times we have seen our own friends or family members put themselves or kids at risk – driving drunk, etc. So while this headline grabs the attention and collective gasp (!) consider how someone you love struggles just the same.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying grandma shouldn’t end up in lock down. I’m just saying that if she’s addicted, long term treatment offers hope of the family breaking a generational cycle instead of celebrating a release from prison.
Change begins,
Brad
