Cool.

Right in Magnolia, Delaware.

We had a little single wide trailer.

There were five of us in that house.

And the main reason that I ended up in foster care was because my parents were

um addicts they had struggles with addiction both of them yeah um and it's it's kind of interesting because they had separate drugs of choice which is kind of unique i think but um my mom um she actually spiraled because she ended up getting diagnosed with um

cervical and ovarian cancer.

And she had like 11 surgeries in a 12 month time span.

And the results of that was a lot of pain.

So they just started throwing pain meds at her.

And at that time, Oxycontin was this big new thing that was supposed to save everyone and, you know, live life without pain.

And, um, so they prescribed her 160 milligram Oxycontin and that was only around for a couple of years before they literally outlawed that and discontinued it.

Okay.

Um,

Well, it was.

They still had her on like 80 milligram Oxycontins for a while.

But again, like you said, at some point, they took her off the medicine.

And once they took her off the medicine, she had to resort to alternative ways to fix that addiction.

And unfortunately, that led her to heroin use, crack cocaine.

But heroin and pain meds were her drug of choice.
