ouch!!! what kind of person would that be? - i don't live with someone who smokes crack or did heroin - i have custody of two small nephews - 2 & 4 years old - the lived with them (my sister and her bf) because they didn't have much choice - i'm more accepting because i know one thing - the more i learn the less i know...

these kids will hopefully live with their parents again, and their parents will find freedom from addiction - doctors are pretty hopeful they have found specific parts of the brain and the brain chemistry that addiction will be able to be cured like cancer - they are learning new things everyday - i would like to think we all could - if we tried - and you know that saying *there but for the grace of god go i* - i hope if you do encounter something like this you find someone to listen to you that isn't quite as close minded...

just my opinion...

love,
