To say that I cried is an understatement. This book hits close to home and I’m glad I read it. Honestly I think I should’ve read it sooner. It’s a heartbreaking story that sadly so many people can relate to. Hearing how David took on all that emotion and how he put it as his responsibility to get his son sober, I understood and then seeing him let go more idk how to explain how that felt but I just understand this book and yeah. I think no matter what your background is this is a book everyone should read. But beware cause it’s an emotional roller coaster

in one part, he says that nic would watch movies like requiem for a dream, movies that are supposed to dissuade you from drugs, and he would want to get high. i have never in my life related to anything more. i always thought something was wrong with me, and maybe it is, but this book helps. it shows the real story, not a hollywood version. it shows how much they love nic, but couldn’t stand him. they love him more than anything and it ruined them for years. i love this book more than anything.
