A friend texted me yesterday in absolute distress bc her brother is using heroin and refusing to go to treatment. The sheer desperation in her voice was palpable and brought me right back to that soul-crushing place where I had no idea how to help the person I loved the most. I wrote her a novel but figured I’d summarize it here for anyone who’s also struggling. Latest overdose rates suggest there’s lots of us.

Firstly: This is the hardest thing to navigate. It sucks all the air out of the room and it’s exhausting and maddening. That is real.

I'm a Jewish person living in Texas in 2018. I've never felt oppressed or threatened because of my religion. Until now. This happened yesterday in Georgia. In 2018. My Jewish mother grew up in Meridian, Mississippi. In 1968, the KKK blew up her synagogue in addition to several black churches in the area. My grandfather offered a $75,000 reward to find out who was responsible for the damage. It made national news and put a target on his back.
