Marguerite Connelly's memoir,
Addicted to the Addicted: A Mother's Tale of
Going from Heartbreak to Hopeful,
vividly describes her desperation to save
her son from himself, eventually realizing she is addicted to him as much as
he is addicted to his substances. This book follows her journey from worry,
pain, grief, and trying to control everything to one of support, wisdom, and
mental health, while suffering through this terrible challenge.
