As many of you know, if you read my previous articles, my parents were heavily into drug use. They chose their poison over their own child, but as I got older I accepted this. So, this weekend when an Ohio Police Department released this photo:

I was more then just furious, I was disgusted, and I wanted so desperately to be there for that child because I knew the fear he was feeling.

Many of you, I'm sure by now, are aware that these two individuals pictured above overdosed with their child in the car, but if you haven't read the story you can read it here.

Now, I forgave my parents, but what they did left an everlasting mark etched into my brain.

This child was not only put at risk but so was every individual on the road that day. This child will have to live the rest of his life with the trauma of this day, but also with the trauma that came every day before this.

Drug use is becoming all too common, especially in users who have children.

Firstly, you don't deserve to be parents if you decide to do something like what is pictured above. You obviously don't care about losing your life, so why would you care about losing your child's? Secondly, you're leaving your child in danger every second you're high on heroin, prescription pills, meth, etc. You're leaving your child scared for their lives, with no ability to get help at such a young age, you're leaving your child to sit with your corpses while your body rots and your child goes hungry. Thirdly, if you love drugs more than you love the human being that you gave life to, you should be more than ashamed. You should do everything in your power to get help.

There are plenty of people I know that are trying to conceive, but can't due to numerous issues. Meanwhile, drug users, who aren't looking to get clean are reproducing without a care in the world, especially without a care for that child.

Do you know the number of newborns, born per year, that are addicted to drugs because their "mother" couldn't bare to stop while she was pregnant? According to the Daily Mail, a child is born every nineteen minutes with an opioid addiction. An addiction a newborn could not reject, something they did not ask for. Yet, we still have women who think they have every right to destroy their bodies and the new life that they have growing inside of them. Babies born on drug dependency shake inconsolably, experience hardcore withdrawals, and have difficulty breathing, these symptoms alone do not describe the pain their feeling justice. These babies have to experience withdrawals because their "mothers" couldn't handle her own withdrawals. If you ever consider doing drugs, especially while pregnant, I suggest you watch this horrific video to see the pain experienced by a newborn child addicted to opioids.

Drug addiction is a common choice made, but it can be prevented. If you choose to do drugs after viewing horrific footage like this, then you don't deserve to bring another life into this world. These are meant to scare you because I was scared. I was scared being around my parents, that little boy was scared watching his parents slowly kill themselves, and that little baby was scared because he/she couldn't breathe. We didn't ask to have parents who chose their addiction despite risking our lives, but we can only hope to forgive over time, and urge others, to think of their child before they think of themselves.
