My dad died...

[Tankinx91]

They found him in his apartment alone, he died of a heroin OD.

My dad was a good man, he just had a lot of problems. My mom left him when i was about 6 years old because his drug problem got so bad, he started selling furniture in the house for drug money. I didn't really see much of him after that, but about 3 years later we moved back in with him and stayed for about a year and a half. Then things got bad again and i never really saw much of him after that again. He would come to visit now and again and do stuff with me and my brother and then disappear for a while. then when i was about 15 he disappeared for good and nobody knew where he was.

He recently came back to Pennsylvania where his brother lived and was working doing different odd jobs to make money and got his own place. Then he disappeared for 2 days and my uncle went looking for him and didn't find him. The cops found him dead the next day. My mom got the call tonight at around 7 tonight and broke down in tears.

I'm just so sad that he's actually gone, even though he was never really here for me anyway i know that he loved me. I think my mother was right when she said your father only left because he didn't want you and your brother to see him like that, just know that he loved you so much.

I'm just gonna miss him so much, because part of me always wished he would get his shit straight and come back.. I love you dad, and I'm gonna miss you.

My condolences. I have also lost two member of my family from this black poison named heroin.

Thank you, I'm sorry that your family has also been affected by this horrible drug. I too have had two family members die from heroin, my uncle died from an OD when i was younger. I just miss him so much, i can barely put it into words.

I haven't lost anyone to drugs, but my family has been heavily affected by family members with narcotic addictions. My aunt used to take heroin, I had been living with her for six years as a kid while she was doing so.

It's a horrible way to lose a loved one. I feel for you and your family, and I hope you're doing alright.

First off, I would like to give you my dearest respects to your family and of course yourself.

This is an extremely tough way to see someone go. Especially one such as your father. Addictions to drugs runs in my family. I truly feel for you brother. Though the thing to remember most right now, is that your father is no longer in the irresistible grasp of heroine any longer. He's free of addictions and he will no longer suffer. Though he is no longer with you right now, just know that wherever he is, it's a much better place.

Even though you didn't see very much of him, I think it was a very wise decision of him. He didn't want you to see what he was doing and undergoing and become like him. As I got older and saw my mother taking pills amongst other narcotics, after a while, I envied how she must have felt and I ended up on my own disastrous spiral of bullshit.

It shows a lot of courage on his part to make that sacrifice for you, even though things did not make a good turn around, not too many get the chance to make it. My mother and father will never be completely sober or clean human beings. I believe they are lost causes and are doomed to their own fate.

It's just a good example of what not to do. I hope you and your family are able to have a good service for him. I'm sure whatever you are doing in life, I'm sure he would be proud if he would have seen it for himself. I wish you the best and much respects. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here. You've got a bright future brother, take the examples that are laid out in front of you. I believe in you. Best of luck man.

I'm terribly sorry friend. I have lost a few loved ones, but nobody near as close as my father or mother. I can only think of the pain you are going through and hope that you are copying well.

I am honestly very sorry. For you and all your family.

Thank you all so much everybody, It's been very rough on me and my family and i feel horrible. I'm confident things will get better though, I'm just so upset.
