Book Reviews of Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction
Book Review: Very real and honest... a MUST read for parents of teens
Summary: 5 Stars
This well written book will help many people, and I believe the author was very brave and honest. This book helped me to learn how to 'let go'..even if your son or daughter 'just drinks' or 'just smokes pot' .. this book will help you.
I want to thank the author for opening up his personal life; there is such a stigma to this kind of illness. Many small minded people can not grasp the situation and finding support (even among family memebers) is nearly impossible and extremely expensive. Nic was blessed his family had the love and resources to pull him through without him dying or going to jail.
I agree that everyday is a stressful as combat..losing control of the child you love; knowing you can't do a thing; and having the strength to know when to say no more...without feeling like you have stopped loving your child.
My favorite part of the book; is when the author found his higher power; his faith; and he learned to pray. May God Bless him for being so honest and writing such a moving, encouraging, and supportive book.
