Dear judgy lady on Facebook,








The junkies wife.

~Elizabeth Ann Grundy


  1. Moved to my soul, burdened by both the curse of the addict and the curse of those who have lost so much. No one here is alone as long as I’m above ground! No one here would not say the same thing too! Humans are at our best when the situation is the worst. Heroism it’s called. And hero’s you all are! All of you took time to express love, understanding and kindness. All in pain and it didn’t stop you from doing so. There is beauty in that that was a privilege to see!


  2. Struggled with heroin addiction for decades. Lost everything, children home etc. Went to jail and got out and began suboxone maintenance and group therapy. Slowly things are getting better. It’s a lot of work. I hurt many people, my kids suffered and my family. Addicts are still people, like everyone else we made very bad decisions. We still have feelings, but we learn how to work through the pain and new ways of coping. We will succeed in spite of cruel and judgmental people. I pray this disease never finds u or ur family because u have such a cold heart.

  3. You are spot on honey. Judgy lady doesn’t get it. Isn’t SHE blessed…these junkies bleed the same blood she would. I lost my Son 4 1/2 years ago. I still have Family that will never get it.
    So sorry for your loss.💕


  4. Thank you so much for sharing you and your family’s story. I am incredibly sorry for your loss, and so sorry for the judgement you’ve recieved regarding addiction and narcan. My parents (and many other family members) were both addicts at different points in my life, and eventually divorced. As a teenager, I had those feelings of “why is he/she doing this? It’s so selfish. They don’t care about anybody but themselves. They chose the substance over family. They’re missing out on so much.” Now that I’m older, I understand addiction a little better and can have empathy for those who struggle, instead of anger. Compassion, instead of pure resentment.
    I wonder if those people judging have had personal experiences with addiction within their families, if they hold resentment and anger… then take it out on complete strangers, often those who are grieving. Either way, YOU are the bigger person for softening your heart to them, despite their hurtful words. YOU are the strong one, because forgiveness is much, much harder than judgment. YOU are the positive role model for others struggling with their feelings towards addiction.
    I wish you healing, kindness, and that happy memories may one day bring you some comfort. You’re in my thoughts. ♡

  5. I am the mother of an addict. My beautiful boy did not mKe it through his last OD, 2 weeks ago. Five years he struggled, he hated himself for the continued relapses, he’d go as long as 6-7 mo and bam someone would reach out to sell it to him. He always apologized he always said I love you he always hugged you and always said thank you. He worked two trades
    He had a baby. No one wakes up and says I think I’ll be an addict today. Addition is a disease Addiction goes hand in hand with mental illness. So before you judge the addict or the family’s or say if it was my kid I’d kick him out, I suggest you get on vended knee and thank God you were not given the fight of addiction
