Motherhood With A Meth Addiction 

I’ve heard this story a million times. “I stopped using drugs when I found out I was pregnant”. Ya fookin right lady. Your daughter doesn’t believe you and neither do I. You should be in jail for reproducing 3 times while on drugs. That’s BS shame on you.

I wish the best for the young man in the purple shirt, you can tell he faces many internal struggles , the pain of his childhood is real. Sweet guy.

P.S. And for those of you with only negative comments, if you had watched the video all the way through and truly listened to the words of this family then you would know that the mom not only went through with recovery, but she also now educates and that truly takes the road to recovery to a whole other level ☺🖒.

So I personally want to thank grandma for raising those beautiful kids who turned out to be awesome! Thank u TOO-TOO! UR Are A GREAT AMAZING PERSON. GOD BLESS

This lady is brave and beautiful, as are her family. I wish them all the best.

Such an amazing family, each individual has been brave and loving. No one can judge the journey of another. Thank you for this story.❤

All I'm really interested in was the kids interview because what they're saying is what matters. I think it's great that she's not on drugs anymore however, knowing how it's affecting the children is the most important.

Well raised children for such a hard life.

her daughter is an angel. she has a cuteness i cant even describe. she will have a good life.

Thank you for sharing this video, it gives me hope for my daughter, who has a serious meth addiction.

What an amazing beautiful family, they're story touched my heart!! And each an every one of them are very strong and triumphant for all they've been through, they're in my prayers!!!!

This was a great documentary. It hit home for me. 13 years sobriety for myself coming up in July. There are ones of us that hit the “so called” bottom, and come up and live again and to teach the generations upcoming about this “devils drug”. My children are now 22, 16, and 14. All but my oldest, doesn’t remember the actual bad times so to speak, but the attachment issues do go along with it when all is brought back together. I have learned that “TIME HEALS” God Bless

thank you for sharing it takes a lot to tell your story ...thank you

I have been watching this video for, what, over 5 years now, and it's at times immensely problematic for me and frustrating to watch, but something about this family and their story, the sons and the extremely affable and intelligent daughter, who really is the star narrator here,especially her connection to the University of Hawaii at Hilo, my Alma mater, as well, draws me back to watch it again and ruminate on all of it. It's (this video) is an ultimately rewarding journey to embark, particularly for those of us who have and or are struggling heavy with addiction, and were raised by, and, in my case, sadly, also physically and emotionally abused by a parent addict (I have forgiven my mother in my adult years, as she has been sober for nearly 15 years now, and the twist now is her reaching out longing to help me overcome my adult struggle with the very same substances she abused me on while her addictions spun out of control during my preteen through late teenage years. So this video is intense for me at times but has played a part in helping me come to terms with my mother and I's torrid history and addressing and working to heal wounds of my childhood trauma. So, thank you to Civil Beat for this work and keeping it archived and still accessible many years after the fact . Anyway... now to my decidedly less positive takeaway from the sit-down. Regarding some of the statements of this woman in her recollection and reflection of her past behaviors: I, for lack of a more polite turn of phrase, lose my shit every time and have to fight the urge to turn it off when she turns to face her dear long suffering mother, poor tutu, and goes, "...But you weren't there to help raise my children," or whatever, and gives her this stern look of disapproval, as if

No one is perfect in this world. We are all humans and we all do mistakes in our lives. At least, this children are lucky to have grandma to raised them as best as she could while their mother get her life together and finally they get together and I find this very beautiful and happy ending. All I can pray for this family, is to have good journey and raise their kids in the future us they wish and teach them how good and bad decisions can make the different. God bless them and all the people in this world who never do intentionally to harm their love ones

The kids at the start look so sad! :(

God Please continue to bless& strengthen this beautiful family, & every other families battling addiction! Please give us all the strength and courage to resist satins snares!⭐ 💜🙏🌞

Congrats it's such a hard life to come back from. Love those kids and never give up.

My mother was a meth user and actually did a phenomenal job of raising me. She gave me more attention than a lot of sober parents give their kids.

I know this took a lot to sit there with her beautiful family and tell her story. Much love to you.
