Addiction of all kinds, whether drug addiction or behavioral addiction such as gambling, eating - or addiction to anything else in fact - is rooted in pain caused in many cases by suffering in childhood. Many of these parents who have lost children to addiction are not expected to express appreciation or understanding for their children. Instead, they often feel hurt, angry, or feel that the blame is always on them. This book does not aim to blame anyone but rather to embrace suffering humanity, aiming to show that addiction is one of the most common manifestations of human suffering. There is no accusation, just an acknowledgment of the fact that suffering is inherited across generations, and that we unwittingly pass it on until we understand it and break the chain of transmission within every family, human group, or society.
