A child was born. A child was raised in an environment where he had to do for himself. He had to wake up for school, come home, wash his own clothes, cook his own food and figure out how to do it day in and day out because the parent was either always drunk or passed out from drugs.
Now I was always taught to be considerate to others, and as I grew older I was told addiction is a disease, not a choice. My own personal opinion, it's a choice. No one makes you drink alcohol or abuse drugs daily. God didn't make any mistakes putting us on this planet, if you are here then the good lord has a plan for you.
That child was so lost and confused that one day he went to school, he got jumped by some bullies because he wasn't the best dressed or the richest kid in school, but he was one of the smartest kids in school. That same kid grew up and made something of himself, He became a police officer who now helps other kids go through what he went through when he was alone and afraid.
If you or anyone you know is fighting any addiction from drinking or drugs please, please contact your local AAA or drug rehab centers, they will help. If you run into any child that might need help, please contact your local Child Protective Services. God doesn't make mistakes, you're here for a reason.

My, what a beautiful post you have @empowernetwork!!!
The little boy made something out of himself, and that's an uplifting storyline!
Excellent!
I feel a lot of kids today could use this as a example, how hard life is and everyone could use a helping hand.
@empowernetwork,
I know a lot of people... including my mom, that get upset when I repeat the phrase...
"Good and bad... everything happens for a reason. There are no accidents in life. Everything happens in it's own time and place. It's not the situation... it's how you handle it"
It's good to see your words again; this is a truly powerful and "thoughtful" post. Thank you for sharing this with us. Now, more than ever. We need these positive examples in our lives.
Chat soon...
Love and light ✨

My kids are lucky and I work hard to provide a stable and secure family environment but I also se and know of situations that aren’t good and healthy unfortunately
Happy Friday
So glad he grew up to be someone who can help others in life, not many have the luxury to do so. Struggling with addiction is a terrible, first in some cases such as drugs, it started as a choice then becomes a disease, but in other cases, it might not be a choice rather it might be forced on the victims.
I will always say that children are the future and as adults our duty is to provide them with a good quality of life and the best conditions in every way so that they can grow up in a healthy way and know how to distinguish between good and bad.
