My friend, Claire, is 35 years old. She is a drug addict (amphetamine, cocaine, heroin) and is also alcoholic.
Her current partner rents her a house and has her working from it as a prostitute. He only allows her to contact him on 2 days in the week, and he has affairs and talks down to her when she does see him. She has done a lot of self harming in the past, and has many scars. One of the 'clients' that she sees told her he had fallen in love with her. Looking for comfort from somebody, she believed she could find some happiness with him, and so started an affair herself. She had a bath at his house a few weeks ago, where he had replaced the shampoo with glue, and this resulted in her getting so angry and upset she ripped most of her hair out and the rest had to be cut. It was mid way down her back, and what is left is about an inch long. He also has drink & drug problems and said he was sorry although he found it funny at the time. She has since made up with him, and continues to see him, and I believe he is supplying her drugs.
Four years ago, her son died, aged 3, from meningitis. This was round about the time she started drinking more. Her partner at the time, and herself, were arrested on suspicion of murder for this, until the authorities found he had meningitis.
This morning, at 9am, I found her drinking neat vodka and she had taken an awful lot of cocaine. She had just found out that Ben, her other son, aged 8, had died from leukemia. He had been living with foster parents for 18 months. She had said that Ben was her reason for existing - that she would make all the money she could and run away with him, set up a new life, and now he isn't there anymore. She said she couldn't tell her partner as she wasn't allowed to mention her children as it makes him angry.
She has no family, her father had her working as a street prostitute when she was 11, and 2 years later he was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering her mother.
Claire only has 2 true friends, myself being one of them and although my heart breaks for her, I know that I cannot 'make' her do anything. Like us all she has free will, and has to do it herself, but I would like to ask you to remember her in your prayers.
She really has got a heart of gold, although she has had such a hard life. Please let our prayers reach her and help me to let her know that life doesn't have to be this way, and it is never too late to change.
Thankyou all
