You're spot on as usual. I prided myself on being a good mother, doing everything I could for my kids to have a better life. And there's no question about my love for them. I wasn't perfect, but I tried and my boys will all tell you the same.

And you know what, it didn't stop one of my boys from becoming an alcoholic. It's an illness that runs of both sides of the family. He also had trauma in his childhood. Addiction knows no income bracket, social status, etc.

Honestly, Hunter's addiction and resulting guilty verdict makes me like Joe Biden more. I'm not American, but if I was, I'd want a real person who's been through some real shit, down and dirty, nitty gritty shit as my leader, someone who understands how dark life can get and how vital support is.
