OUTSIDE READING

I am still reading the book Beautiful Boy by David Sheff. I took a brake thought to read an article called My Beautiful Drug Addicted Boy. It was about David Sheff watching his son transform from a happy young boy into a meth addict. In the articlel he says that Nic (his son) would steel money for drugs from his 8 year old little brother. David had to intstall a burglar alarm to keep his son out of his house and to see when he was steeling from them. He mentioned how once Nic had been arrested in front of his little brohter and sister, and how he had overdosed and had to be revived in the emergency room. He says that the hardest time for his family was when Nic went to reahab and got clean, went back to school and then relapsed.
