Christian fell into drugs at a very young age. At first, his family didn't realize it, but soon the problem became so obvious that they could no longer ignore it. Recognizing that a child has an addiction is a painful and complicated challenge. Even today, the stigma surrounding addictions remains strong, and knowing how to react is crucial to not making the situation worse. In episode number twenty-two of 'Addictions Uncovered', I talk to Ana, Christian's mother, a former marijuana addict. Ana shares her experience about what it means to be the mother of an addict, the difficult decisions she had to make, and how she learned to support him without losing herself in the process.
