Just read this rather disturbing piece on the Guardian about a woman who buys herion for her son.

 

http://society.guardian.co.uk/drugsandalcohol/story/0,,2059067,00.html

 

"Anna Wright is a university lecturer. She also buys heroin for her son. Here she explains why, and describes the strain on all the family of living with an addict.

 

I am a drug dealer. I park in dark streets waiting for the man (more often the lad) to exchange a small package for a disproportionately large quantity of cash. I subdivide it into 14 wraps and dole it out to my "customer". I use the term customer loosely and in the singular because I supply only one addict who is not a paying client.

My story is not unique. I am one more accidental dealer to an accidental addict."

 

I find it all very sad and difficult to comprehend as this 'world' is so far from what I have ever experienced. How do people get into such situations?
