Today has been a day that helped me see that some people become addicted to drugs to cover the pain of a terrible childhood. I talked to a girl that is in rehab and she started having stomach aches and anxiety from the time she was six years old. Her dad was very abusive to her and her Mom. By the time she was six years old her dad would hold a gun to her head and torment her and her Mom, He would drive wreckless and scare them. She would hide in closets to keep him from betting her. Her anxiety grew to an alarming rate, she went to doctors for her stomach ache and they treated her with medications. Her anxiety grew and the doctors treated her with anti-anxiety meds. By the time she was eleven years old she was taking medication that cancer paitents take when they get sick for taking treatments. She was on all kinds of antidepressants. Why didn't the medical professionals treat her for the trama from the abuse that her dad did to her, all they did was medicate an abused child. She became a full blown addict when her dad shot and killed her step-mom!!!
