    Her mum seems like a trained psychologist she is so emotionally intelligent. She would be a great counsellor or psychologist. What an amazing woman.

    Her mom is the most understanding parent I've ever seen! I was an addict for 20 years and I was a heroin addict for 15 of those 20 years. Now I've been clean for years and I work at a drug and alcohol abuse treatment center helping addicts. I'm married with a beautiful home. Recovery is possible. I thank God everyday for blessing with this life.

    Don't blame cannabis.. blame the black market and laws.

    What a beautiful, intelligent, empathetic understanding, yet REALISTIC mother. An Angel. If only we all had such loving support.

    This mother is such a sweet lady, and understanding. It’s rare that someone who’s never been on drugs in there life understands why Ricky robbed there home

    The mother is addicted to the memory of a daughter she no longer has. I feel for her, but her actions might be making things worse.

    Heroin is a great escape but a great escape to nowhere.

    Her mother is a saint. She realizes what’s she’s up against and has no unrealistic thoughts. It touched me how the mother still wanted a relationship with her daughter. No screaming ,yelling and saying hurtful things. I admire that she has accepted it and chooses to keep her time with her daughter sacred.

    The mother is so educated about heroin use . She should be so proud and I truly hope Hannah and her boyfriend get better

    My heart goes out to the mom. It’s such a fine line between being supportive and being an enabler…

    Kate is the definition of unconditional love. I hope so much it has paid off. 🤞

    You can never help someone that doesn’t want help. I fed my addiction for 5 years and no matter how my loved ones tried to cure me it never happened. Until one day I decided to get clean. 6 years clean now. We all have the strength to overcome anything.

    Her mom is amazing, but also completely codependent and a huge enabler. You cannot love someone into recovery.

    Death is easier than overcoming an addiction. The withdrawals hurt so bad it makes you wish you were dead. I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone in life. Shout out to anyone who has overcome an addiction. We are recovering everyday. I'm glad she has her mother, she is the definition of a mother, never give up on your child. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

    As a recovering addict, I can tell you that the mother is not helping. I hope the end of the episode she learns from this because enabling is going to just feed her addiction. It was not until my mother died, my father took me in and gave me weekly urines. But before that I was on the streets and begged and begged to stay anywhere, no luck. I did not want to get clean. Until I lost EVERYTHING, including my sanity, I couldn't get clean. I moved in with my father who is in recovery, and at first it helped. Until he started stealing my Suboxone. I then relapsed because my father enabled me. I moved out and started using again. It was not until I was ready to kill myself that I dragged myself to get help. By myself. No one to help me. Tough love is the only way. I'm speaking from experience.
