I, for one, have had experience with what happens to relationships when someone does drugs.

The first person I'll talk about is my father. He was on and off in my life to begin with, but once he started doing drugs, he just... disappeared. I was around eleven or twelve, maybe ten when it happened. He just cut ties with everyone really. I didn't understand what happened at the time. No one told me what happened. All I knew was that he didn't contact anyone.

I used to be pretty close to my father, in fact I would always be around him back when he was actually in my life. What happened after is blurry since I was very young at the time. Probably seven years old. But I do remember something having to do with the police. And then I believe he went to jail at one point.

I never really saw much of him after that. If he did go to jail, he definitely got out. And this was years ago. Then I saw him one time when I moved which was about four years ago now. That was the last time I saw him.

And some time last year, I was finally told what happened to him. He got hooked on drugs, and didn't want to talk to anyone in his family because he was so ashamed.

And I still have no idea what happened to him. I'm not completely sure what or who got him into drugs. Some of my family say that his wife (I'm not even sure if he got married) got him into drugs, but I'm not so sure.

Update:

I have recently found out what has happened to him. Though everything is not clear yet, it seems like he is, and has been, dead. For two years. This makes me anxious about my future and what will be happening. But, this also goes to show that you can not only ruin your own life if you dare to do drugs, but it can possibly ruin someone else's. I want everyone once again, drugs are dangerous. Stay away from them.
