Last year, my husband lost his job and we were bankrupt after few months. Since then it has become very difficult for us to sustain ourselves. This bankruptcy has leaded us to no bank loans and no credit cards. The situation was miserable at home.
Phil and I were strong and we knew that this bad period of lives will pass away till the day we discovered that our son has become a troubled teen. It was difficult for us face an other worry to the old ones. One day Johnston got back home completely out of his senses and this is how we came to know that our son is a drug addict.
We had an insurance so we got him admitted in a hospital for two months. This cure was to short and there was not enough therapy to really take him out of it. Once he got back home, he was again on drugs. We did not know what to do and how to help him. He would not listen to us at any cost. It was impossible for us to stop him and we could see our son ruining his life in front of us.
We looked around for help but we had no money. Therapies for drug addicted teens and troubled teens schools were so expensive that we could not go for any. The situation was growing worst day by day.
One day, we found a charitable booth camps for troubled teens. It was not specifically for drug addicted teens. Johnston participated to it. He came back a little changed then thanks to this some organization we could send him for a booth camp for drug addicted troubled teens.
Johnston came back completely changed. We shifted to some other end of the city and got him a new school. His life changed into a new one. We all were glad and we all started up a new life.
