I felt guilty…my beautiful parents had to go through this, it’s a small town, getting arrested because of drugs, not finishing high school, still partying, I felt like I was a divorced son. I’m not a bad person, but I just felt reckless…all this just came to the surface, so I had to face this and face myself. All these traumas stays in your body.
