At her mothers house, and after being up for five
days on Meth, Linda (40) had to 'shoot up' a crushed pill of the pain killer
Dulidid to 'bring her down' and enable her to sleep. After 'shooting up' the
drug, It took her a few minutes to get back to a point she could speak. She
just sat on the edge of the bad and stared at the wall. She did not move even
when Ivan her sisters Teri 3 years old son was crying for attention on the
floor right in front of her. The father Ivan is in jail serving a very long
sentence relating to Meth drugs charges, and Teri does not want to have any
contact with him ever again. Her children call Ricky 'uncle dad' as he is a
father figure for them in the house. Ivan and Ethan are naturally exposed to
this vicious cycle of drugs the family is in, resulting in them being
neglected and ignored. As a result of the entire family abusing drugs, they
are also not fed much and forgotten.
