The Road to Destruction

We live in a world of constant change and uncertainty. The search for that quick buck and the temporary need for escape from the anxiety and anguish of the decisions we have made, often lead us to use chemicals such as alcohol or drugs to escape reality. We fail to understand that the choices we make not only affect us as individuals but also the people around us.

So it goes with Troy and Donna; a couple that had more than their share of troubles. Troy was 42 and Donna was 26, a match not made in heaven. Troy was not only a drug user but a dealer as well. He suffered from a bipolar disorder and was subject to fly off the handle in a minute and has been known to do just that. Donna, on the other hand, was a young lady who was very naïve and depended entirely on Troy. Troy got her hooked on drugs later in their relationship. She couldn’t breathe without Troy, or so she believed. He commanded her every thought and every movement; a most tragic situation.
