Life and death of an addict

Drugs.

This is a huge topic that I cannot elaborate much. But I will tell you a story that happened that involved drug abuse.

************************************

They met when they were still teenagers. Married at a young age. They had 5 children. It was 4 boys and 1 girl. At first, they enjoyed living together. They were a happy family. The kids were growing fast.

Then, they begin to struggle. They cannot provide properly for their children. The father was a part time drummer in a band. The mother was a housewife. The father rarely have gigs to go to and the wife always asks money from her mom who works abroad.

As time goes, the mother thought they can't live with what the father is bringing to the table. She needs to do something too to be able to provide for the children and their future. She don't have any choice but to work abroad too.

The eldest was 9 year old that time and the youngest was 4. She left the kids with the father. The father stop working and stayed at home. But still, he was drinking until morning and invites a lot of friends coming in and out of the house. The mother found out from a friend that the father was also doing drugs. It all started with a small abused particle. He was not as a pusher but a user.

Later on, she learnt that the father was bringing a girl home and she knew it was the start of her broken family. She came home to get the kids settled somewhere far from the father. She was worried because she knew that drugs can alter a persons physiological and mental health.

Few years later, the only daughter complained something. Aparrently, she was sexually abused by the father. This was the time when the father became a drug addict. The daughter has a mild mental retardation and at first the people around her cannot believe that what she is saying is true. She was brought to the police station to have a statement and she was medically examined. She was found out that something happened to her indeed.

A case was filed. The father was imprisoned for more than 2 years. Was it enough thought? He was acquitted because of lack of evidence. The daughter did not stand on the witness stand because of her illness.

The father lived alone. Still continues to drink and do drugs. He cannot communicate properly with people because his mind is already altered because of drugs.

Today, at 10 o'clock in the morning someone came to the house to tell the mother that the father was rushed to the hospital because of pain in the stomach. The mother hated him but there's no one to look after him. She went to the hospital and bought the medicine.

After 3 hours, the doctor in charge is already performing CPR on him because he is having difficuty in breathing. At 2:20 pm he expired. The children cried. Their eyes are swollen and red. Their hearts are broken. They hated their father but they are their father.

Drugs abuse does not give any benefits. It only break families. It has physiological and mental effects to people who abused it. And affects their families. It brings pain and death.
