Sensitive soul, with real intelligence. He's a deep thinker. I wish you all the best Roy 💜
Roy seems like such a kind hearted and humble man. He looks amazing for his age and to be in active drug use. He’s too good for the streets. I hope he finds his way and finds some peace
Agreed
I'm friends with Roy and he's doing so great now sober and looking very healthy, if you think he looks good here you should see him now ❤
Hey Mark, I would pay good money to get a book with the portraits and the quote the interviewee says when you ask what the most important lesson they have learned in their life. That would make a great book I think. And Roy has a very good lesson, I agree with him 100 percent.
That’s an amazing idea! I’d buy it too and the earnings from it could be used to help them out
I’ve had he same idea
love this idea!
I’d buy too!
He actually had a book with portraits called Created Equal. It’s so expensive and rare you can’t even find or buy it really.
I've seen hundreds of these interviews. This is one of the most powerful. And most beautiful... Hard to use the word ¨beautiful¨ to describe something like this, but there really is so much beauty, I don't really understand why or how, but there is... Mark is a brilliant artist. Mark, if you read this, I just want you to know that you are one of my favorite artists of all time. Much love.
Exactly !!
I was just thinking the same thing, what a sweet dude!
I agree! Some of the people he interviews I’m sure just take the money they get and forget about it but I really believe that some of the people Mark interviews really open up for the first time and get to tell their story in a way that matters. it’s really good and therapeutic for them…Mark gives these forgotten people a voice! He makes them matter! He makes them reflect and just that can really help people!
I think he looks good for 50 years old. I hope he seeks help, finds peace, and happiness. Sending you love Roy. ❤️
Roy is a miraculous human being. His kindness is exemplary.
Good luck Roy, the path towards help (whether thats methadone or whatever form of assistance) its human and its okay to be where you are now, chin up brother ✌️❤️
Roy, I am sad and sorry for your loss. You are going to make it through this grieving process, it takes time. No one can say how long it should take. Forgive your mom for not telling you. This thing that she did is what made her the person that you love. She went the best way she knew how to be and loved you so much.
I really like this guy, he's too intelligent and nice of a guy to be where he's at. I hope the best for him💜💪
Good luck and stay safe out there, my brother 🙏
The disease of addiction does not discriminate. It hits all walks of life, although many people have a genetic predisposition to it.
He is a special person. Glad we got to hear a bit of his story.
My heart and tears go out to this wonderfully sensitive man. May his Mother watch over him
I really like Roy. If he came through this addiction, he would make an excellent counsellor. He is really inciteful and has a lot of empathy. He could really help people.
Roy is what I refer to as a beautiful tragedy. I hope one day he can escape his torment and breathe free.
❤thank you!
After watching nearly every one of your interviews Mark, this one, I can relate. The ADD struggle was and continues to be real for many. Best of luck Roy.
Out of so many of his interviews, this one made me cry- there’s no cringe, no prejudice - just sad that this man has lived so broken
yes, school and dull work are like prison for people with active, creative minds.
I think a certain amount of people are “meant” to be “ADD”. I could see it being useful in a Hunter/gatherer and/or warrior society
@Todd Palmer.. people like YOU made it this interview so much more worth it. I'm Soo glad you could relate to my story. 🫶🏻
Thank You Roy for sharing your story. All we can do is pray you get to move away from KENSINGTON. And maintain a less stressful life. 🙏 🙏 to you and your Precious Daughter
He’s so present, thoughtful and soft spoken. Seem like a Nice guy to be around. I hope you find a path that makes you happy
Roy is an educated person; greetings and hugs for you Roy... We saw your interview from Chile 🇨🇱
Outside of being a great listener which in turns makes for a wonderful interview, your growth with your words and understanding of people with addiction is commending. You have always been genuine but seeing the little bit of hope in these addicts and having the ability to shine light on everyone’s positive qualities is so great to see. I know you would never ask for praise but you are doing a phenomenal job in these interviews. Progressively better each time.
You had me at 70’s/80’s kid! Best of luck to you Roy, you will make it my friend!
I could listen to Roy for hours. I feel like there’s so much left unsaid!
He hangs out on our discord server if you'd like to get in touch with him :) ❤️
@@RawrziGlass hey, is this still happening? Could you share it please?
So enjoyed listening to him, seems to have a sweet soul. Prayers and peace to him.
Prayers for you, Roy. I lost my mom last year too…in May. We were very close and this last year has been hard without her, so I can relate to your pain. Its kind of odd how hard it is to be on earth without your mom. My husband and I lost our mothers just shy of one year apart and they were the last of our parents to leave this earth. One day he and I looked at one another and realized that it is now the two of us who carry the torch for our family. We are the glue, so to speak. It was hard, and it’s still quite the process, but we get up everyday and strive to set a standard worth striving toward for our children, grandchildren, and even our siblings. We see everyone watching us and we are happy to be there for all of them. You can be that person, Roy. Be the leader your adult daughter wants you to be. You’re so kind and gentle-spirited. She knows you have that inner strength to be a strong and courageous man. Just let go and let God lead you. You will amaze yourself and your daughter will proudly look to you for leadership. Thanks for sharing your story. God bless you.
I lost my mom last year suddenly and have been so sad this last year. My husband lost his mom 3 years before I lost mine and it’s been really hard not having our moms. We have no support and it feels so lonely. I’m tired of feeling exhausted stressed and depressed. I try my best to be a good mom and wife but it’s hard
@@theblackschaos I’m so sorry for all you’re going through. I will remember you in my prayers. God bless you.
I lowkey like the Philadelphia interviews better than the LA ones
Me too and I really can't say why, I wish he'd do more.
philly is the butthole of america
My 16 year old son has ADHD and has been trying to give up on school this year. I just can't let him drop out. I'm doing my best to help him but I feel like I'm failing him. I don't know what to do other than keep taking him to school in the morning and keep picking him up when it's over. But he HATES it so much. And I LOVE him so much. I don't want to lose my son to a life like this poor soul has endured. My heart breaks for him. 😭 😭 💔 ✌️
*And my son has the same reaction to medicine. He can drink an energy drink and go to sleep. And when he got his tonsils out they gave him codeine for two days and he was bouncing off the walls. I need to ask for help with my son. I realize I can't do this on my own anymore. I'm so glad I watched this. Thank you. 💚🧡💛
If it's that he hates itsomuch think about alternatives, can he change schools, can be do online school or home schooling? What matters is that he gets an education, not that he stays in on school. Also talk to him about exactly why he hates it.
Very sorry to hear that and schools make testing and everything so hard. Maybe you can ask the school for tutoring and if possible if he can do school from home. Also, find out what is his passion does he like to draw or paint maybe he can fix things. I find that individuals with “disabilities “ are blessed with different gifts and talents and even if he doesn’t maybe he would have an interest in doing something having a trade is just as good as anything else.
Hey Jaime thank you for being a good mom! So I have ADHD and honestly I'm pretty sure I am on the tip of the autism spectrum also. I know how your son feels. I also hated school. My parents and teachers would always tell me I was capable of being a straight A student which I know is true, but I just hated school so much mainly because I was always bullied so instead of focusing on school work I had to focus on keeping me safe always wondering when the next thing was going to happen. It was weird I went from being an outcast but my Jr. year of highschool and beyond I was finally popular, I was still bullied but the good out weighed the bad. Thank goodness I didn't have depression during those years cause I don't think I would be here today if so. I grew up gay in a small hick redneck Bible belt town ironically called Church Hill TN. That's why I was bullied. Anyways! I wanted to let you know that I definitely think your doing the right thing!!! I now regret that I didn't try in school. I did hate it, but honestly I also miss it! I would never imagine that I would ever say that. The thing that helped me the most, and the main reason I'm writing to you is to let you know that having a therapist was the best thing that happened to me. So if you could get him a therapist that would help so much. Being ADHD it's hard to put all of life's little puzzles together, having a therapist helped me solve the puzzle. I got my therapist when I was a Jr. I'm HS. I wish I would have had one earlier. It has to be someone that he really likes and that gets him otherwise it won't work-cause I have had a few of those which did nothing. When your a kid you think you know it all, at least I did lol. But if I could have one redo it would be too listen to your elders! Everything they tell you that is annoying to hear, and you feel like your different it's not the same for you. Well it's really not at least for the most part. If I would have listened to them. One thing I would have liked to hear is that school is only for a short period, real life is nothing like what it is in school and if you try to do good the rest of your life will be much better because of it. I would have also liked to see how much it really cost to live and how to budget your money. I think if I would have known how much it cost to just live I would have tried harder so I wouldn't have to work hard later on.
Staying in school is best. But he could do well in a trade apprenticeship, or in the right workplace with good role models. One of our adhd superpowers is being able to be really good at things that interest us. Help him find things that might interest him in work. Maybe work experience day with a mechanic. 9r a builder, or a bank or whatever. Not saying it'll be easy, at 16 all I was interested in was smoking joints.
That’s how school was for me. Mental illness made me completely stop caring about school. I got an iep but it was too late as I was already a senior. Look into an IEP or (individualized educational program) it’s where they work with your special case.
If you want to get into contact, I can write out a message to him explaining the importance of taking schooling seriously. The key is to find a way to explain that taking schooling seriously is the key to having a happy and fulfilling life. Also, ADHD makes school hard but it can also be a blessing in the real world.
You sound like you are having a tough go at it, but from me, thank you so much for working so hard with your son and not giving up. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel!
Roy is too sweet, humble and kind to have to live on the streets. I hope he will be ok and pray 🙏 for his safety and that he makes changes before it's too late for both his and his daughters sake. God bless you Roy!
Poor Roy~ seems like he’s a nice guy. So soft spoken. He seems to have such pain, I feel so badly for him. I hope he finds his way…🙏🏻
I've seen this man around before he is a very nice kind hearted man so sad.. Mark thank you for trying to shine some light on what's going on here in Kensington...
Such a gentle and innocent soul... I wish him happiness
There’s a common misconception that drugs like Suboxone don’t work for Fentanyl. But they do. And if you find the right doctor or program that will also give you a benzodiazepine or phenobarbital for the Tranq, it is possible! We can and do recover! Good luck, Roy, I hope you find your way out. Thank you, Mark!
I have a doctor friend from Ma. that works with addiction and she has said I don't know what they are putting in the drug but it seems that the medical assisted drugs she prescribes for opiate addiction doesnt seem to be working. He might be right maybe it's other synthetic drugs?
This man is so interesting and beautiful. His soul radiates through, so strongly. I wish him nothing less than well in this physical life that we all travel through.
Only a few years younger, I recall Ritalin as the only treatment for ADHD kids along with special ed classes, which definitely stigmatized otherwise intelligent kids. I think by now we should be able to discern that kids all learn differently, some by reading and writing but others more physical and practical
Yes Caren!! I am a behavioral therapist who works with kids on the spectrum. There is so much trauma in the Generation Xers Generation with undiagnosed ADHD, autism. No therapy just the knowledge substances take that anxiety you can not pin down away. Unfortunately that usually led us down addictions path. But through my own empath intuitive hard work and resilience I am crawling back from alot of wounds. I FEEL this man!! I HOPE for you my friend.
My brother was a victim of this. He was put in special Ed classes for ADD and was traumatized by it. He was put in classes with kids who had autism and Down syndrome. He was severely bullied and still to this day thinks he is stupid and he is not. All he needed was a different kind of learning approach, not drugs that made him have seizures and hallucinations or classes that he didn’t belong in. People are so quick to jump to drugging kids when many times that is not what they need. Our school system in this country is really behind, something needs to change.
Roy is an intelligent and warm man. I hope that he and his daughter will become even closer. Take good care of yourself and good luck.
I feel so bad for him it's so sad he's fighting an addiction
what a gentle, kind, and loving soul. Sending you lots of hugs, prayers, and healing Roy,
Hi Mark - Roy seems to have gone missing after being evicted from his home. No one has heard from him since 6/13. His daughter is trying to get in contact with him, if you have any way of reaching him and letting him know that would be wonderful, thank you.
PLEASE if anyone has seen or heard from Roy you can contact me through RUclips. I am a very long time friend of his and we are all worried sick.
@@vejkelley21072 What is his full first and last name I can look in the jails and see if possibly he is in jail
Please keep us up to date if you can. Roy is very special.
@@myrabarr7898 he was found, safe I believe
Generation X folks are so strong minded even when addicted on drugs..I wish him the best in recovery..I believe because he's strong/ born in a different era(tough era) he'll pull through and recover..
I love you, Roy. Thank you for sharing your story with us. You're a beautiful soul and deserve healing. Sending you peaceful and loving energy. 🖤🤍
💚
He seems like a nice man. I wish him the best.
What a lovely guy is Roy... He seems very intelligent. Please Roy try get the help you need and deserve 🙏
Only half through this vid but as an introvert and creative person, I sense that creativity is part of his nature. So much self awareness and kindness/ heart and calm I sense here. Im hoping for a breakthrough here, there is a healing nature and Im sure he could be great at helping others once he stabilizes himself… sending love
I can agree with that, I sense the same things you said. I too, am introverted.
@@wesleyalan9179 Interesting mix to have ADHD and be introverted
I send my love to this man.
Thank you for your beautiful authenticity. I feel honored to have heard some of your story. Mark I hope you have him back again.
Seems like a nice bloke. I wish him well.
Roy is so insightful and and could really benefit from intense therapy with an excellent therapist. If he connected with the therapist they could talk deeply about all that he has been through and how it has affected him. Self awareness and forgiveness is key. It would be so healing for him.
Roy you have such a kind, respectful and beautiful soul. You yearn
for sobriety that I could hear in your voice. You are vigilant. You can conquer this. Please stay safe and keep your Mom’s memories alive within you. God Bless You.❤❤❤
I'm really sorry about the passing of your mother, Roy. I hope you heal and make it out of Kensington, soon, it's what she would've wanted for you.
I love you roymond ❤️💙
(sidenote, he hangs out in our discord alot and is a very good friend of ours. Reach out if anyone wants to get in contact with him.)
I would love to, if possible. Should i send my information or will you send me his? I would like to thank him for sharin his story and send some well wishes
His daughter is very worried about him she hasn't heard or seen him since June 13 if you have seen or talked to him recently please lete know so I can have his daughter reach out to you she posted something on FB yesterday about him missing
@@stella-vu8vh 🫶🏻
That was painful to see how he reacted to thinking about his childhood friend that died, it’s like just saying his name broke him instantly 😔 you can really tell Roy has been through a lot of pain.. I wish him the best.
What a beautiful and misunderstood soul. It's heartbreaking to know that so many with the resources to help those who can't help themselves would rather judge and discard those they don't understand. And more tragically, choose not to to exercise a modicum of empathy to do so. Thank you, Mark, for allowing Roy to tell his story. And Roy, you really are a beautiful being.
wow, what a gentle soul. I hope things get easier for him soon
Incredible how our youth affects us. All these interviews talk about trauma in their youth. It helps me realise what i went through myself. There is thing i have in mind though….it seems when your life is happy and under control, so to speak, we tend to forget or minimise these traumas.
My mom grew up in Kensington, in the 50s-60s, and it was absolutely fine back then. At least, not the hellhole it is today
Came across Roy from another wonderful community we both follow. To hear his story and see him featured on this channel is beautiful and also very heartbreaking. Based on minimal interaction and what I know of Roy ,he is such a kindhearted human being. I truly wish him the very best of healing and happiness. ❤ keep on keeping on Roy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello 👋🏻 thank you for your lovely comment!
What a sweet gentle soul.
I'm so I love you,I'm very proud of you and I'm very grateful to have you as a friend! You inspire me 💚🍀
I found my Mom dead on her couch. She was 55, I was 36.1994, I didn't use drugs.
I hope to hear more from Roy. I hope that one day we'll get the update on him, that he's doing better, that things are finally going his way. I really, really hope the best for him.
I hope you can find peace Roy and I hope you continue to live with this certain light you have. You are sweet soul, with a gentle voice. Take care. I would love a follow up on him.
What a truly beautiful and misunderstood man.
So much to unpack. I wish I could just sit and chat with you for hours. Not asking you for anything. No demands or expectations. Just two ACoA kids sitting and talking about growing up in the 80's with the instability of that time. Talk about your daughter and our hopes for the future... Maybe the pain of the past. And present.
You are heard. Every word. Everything you said is valid.
I want you to know.... That just sharing your perceptions and thoughts about your life and condition.... Has made a difference.
As a mother.... It completely validated my decisions to focus on my childrens conditions and work hard to find them supports and offer them a safe space to fall when they stumble.
This is proof positive that early intervention is key and that knowledge and validation is needed and powerful.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this with us. I'd love to hear more. Please keep in touch. I wish you peace. 💜
This is me to a T.... Been through so much he talks about... money is my issue..I always worked hard single father last 16 years... but it drains your money...I'm not a nodder... work like a madman... don't have my physical pain... but worth all that said after 25 years of a run where I conquered the world just couldn't keep up with the amount spending... so I've been clean since July 19th 2016..... do I feel good? I feel good that everyone is happy that I'm clean.... but mentally and physically I walk around smiling but broken....I pray one day I can just feel that self love people speak about....I don't care what happens to me I just don't wanna disappoint my kids n loved ones.....I pray for everyone addicted daily.... hearing his diagnosis and explanation of adhd....wow.....sounds exact..... doctors said I just had a comprehension problem and was hyper even to this day I haven't been properly diagnosed.... and the sleep ..I hate sleeping in scared to sleep...I have extremely lucid real dreams.....I have dreams where I see myself awake...I have crazy nightmares.... ice had dreams about family members dying and they passed a month or two later so yeah I hate even thinkin or talking about the dreams....and dead going to sleep....I could go on and on this really made me wanna reach out to talk to a real expert in all this not these south jersey doctors... they are a joke
Lot's of Monsters amongst us. Many of them in a position of trust. Always interesting, thanks!
Oh, Roy, just run!!! Go see your daughter and survive for her. I am over 40 and still need a dad - this shows me, that your daughter needs you, too.
I am a German who has worked as a probation officer (it is different to the US, we are more social workers) and I met a lot of ADHD people who do NOT need drugs with the right medication. There is medication out there nowadays!!! Go for it, please. Give it a try.
I do so hope Roy finds happiness and is able to get out of Kensington..
Good soul this man.
Aw Roy good luck and I hope you can figure it out. You seem like a sweet soul.
Sorry about your mom Roy. I can’t imagine the pain you feel. You seem like a decent guy. Best wishes on getting clean and staying safe out there.
Roy, God loves you. Seek him pray and ask him to help you in whatever you need him to do.
I wish Roy could move away & up by me. I would be a good friend to him, with zero expectations. He’s a unique & special person. ✌🏼&💛
So much potential in the man. He could have been successful in many areas of life. He still can. The potential is undeniably visible.
Really likeable and articulate guy. I was also from Abington and born just a few years after him, so hearing him talk about being a kid at that time and place really hit me. Obviously didn't go through the kinds of trauma he did. Wish you well, Roy.
I have had exactly the same .. Heroïne made my mind sharp and awake. I had to take a LOT to get the "stoned" part of it to work. Used it for 25 years. 8 years clean now 🤘😎
May I ask how old you are?
@@melissab8871 ofcourse.. I'am 52 now
What a handsome, sweet man, you are Roy! Any friend should so grateful to have to in their life. I would love to be your friend if you lived closer. We just moved to South Carolina from the North. I can understand some of what you grew up but coming from a larger family and with it effecting a younger brother. I always a big knot in my stomach, we went through so much sadness (long story), he is no longer in this world. I was extremely close to my grandma, she raised me, I can totally relate as far as when she got older and was in so much pain, I grieved for her for sooo long even before she passed 😢😢😢. I didn't know this until after she did pass, but so many were worried about me I guess taking my life or at the very least, going crazy....but I surprised them all because I had grieved for so long before it happened, and I didn't have a guilty conscience because I did all I could do for her beforehand, even if it was calling her on the phone, or taking my little ones to visit her. She was always on my mind. But after she passed I felt she was in good hands with the Good Lord Father in heaven, so I didn't need to he sad any longer. Then, when my son turned 3 I found he had disabilities, the preschool teachers brought it to my attention. When he turned 7 he had night horrors, he would wake us and say he wanted to die....talk about depression, it was so deeply depressing...we did all we could to help him, then one day, he snapped out of it after about almost a year, or perhaps longer....my mind tries not to recall. When he started his 20's Bam!!! It came back to haunt all of us, he was about to have a second child in his life, it was pathetically sad, so sad that I can't finish.... he seems to have gotten past it again now in his 30's but he is NOT himself.....we we so close when he was younger and now I rarely ever hear from him....I know as a mom, and for that matter even his dad came around to help, but I literally lived my life for my son and my daughter, so it breaks my heart that now I'm 63 and have numerous health issues and he doesn't even know if I'm alive.
Roy seems to be such a beautiful soul I believe that he can press onward he is too good from the inside out to be in such a low. Be Blessed Roy I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
Such a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. Much love to you, Roy. I hope you find your peace ❤️
What beauty. I feel more human for listening. He tells the truth and it’s healing everyone. The fire is still so clearly inside! Seems spiritually developed compared to me. My condolences, too. That sucks.
Hope Roy is OK today... He seems like such a nice fella 💙
Most important lesson I’ve learned is to be kind to everyone (I was a Douchebag in HS) and to keep hope alive for anyone struggling people can change for the better.
He’s still that hurt little boy, 40 years later and he’s still there in that moment - God have mercy on humankind
Thank you for the interview Roy and SWU
What a kind soul. I’m praying for you Roy ❤️
I can relate to you & your mom.. I was the drinker my mom the sober one & we argued too,, but in the end was something like yours,, God how I miss my mom too. You so right about going to sleep not mad,, you did bring me to tears so many of us are so alike that it's profound! BLESS you 🙏💕🙏🤗🤗
I'm so sorry for your loss, Roy.
I'm extremely close with my mother also and the thought of not her being there any more is just unbearable.
I can't go there.
So I feel your pain.
You seem like a decent, nice, soft, caring person. This life isn't for you!
I hope you can get the help you need to get out of this because you deserve so much better!
Don't punish yourself by this.
It really made me sad to hear that you can't get help from Methadone or Suboxone, people get very good help from those medication.
I wish you all the best, Roy.
You can do it, but you really need to want it and get the help you know is right for you.
Lots of love from Norway.
Roy you are a genuinely good person. Praying you are well.
I wish I could give this guy a hug man.... he seems so sad, it breaks my heart xoxoxo
Sending you love and light Roy your a beautiful human and the worlds a better place for having you in it... I hope your broken heart finds peace my friend
Mark is so dedicated
my very best to Roy from deep in my soul.
Okay, I'm not sure if it's possible or how. But I have so many insights for this guy. I am his age. ADHD poster child from those times. Suffered major night terrors. Parents didn't know how to deal with it, at one point they thought I was possessed! I was so smart but I could never sit still to read. Also, later in life I was prescribed pain pills. I found out very quickly that on opiates I do not get tired just like him.. and I admit, I love them and they make me a better person. I dealt with it when I was cut off from them, but it wasn't easy. I'm not an addict, but I can relate to absolutely everything this man is saying. I feel like we have the same brain! Not sure how your networking works Mark, but for some reason I feel like I need to connect with this guy..
Thank you for sharing 💚
Thank you for showing that very flawed humans, have kind, beautiful souls. I know a miracle is headed your way Roy. Peace and love on your journey brother. ✌
Love you so so much, Roymond. You are stronger and more capable than you will ever give yourself credit for. I’m so happy and proud to call you my friend for 2 years. I love you!!!!!
My mom is my best friend and rock too. Found out this year she got breast and uterine cancer. She the only one who gets me because we are the same exact person. When I loose her I strongly feel that I’ll be lucky to make through with my sanity intact.
Thanks for sharing your story Roymond, I really wish the best for you… I’m sorry to hear about your mom as well, I know you miss her dearly……
The sorrow in his face…
My mother was an alcoholic as well she just passed away several days ago.. my heart goes out to you Roy💜
70s and 80s kids are the best
The way he says the 80s were a different time when talking about being molested is really impactful, it’s got to be rough trying to justify that happening to you at such a young age.
I’m sorry for the loss of your Mother, Roy.
Gun to head was my life from my husband….I’ve been thru a lot of shit my self….I want to give you a hug
A good case to legalise measured drugs - if he was provided a prescription he he may be able to lead a productive life, seems in touch with the world, honest and smart.
I've watched hundreds of these videos. It kills me every time the interviewed talks about their sexual abuse, molestation, and/or rape. It's still happening to children every day in this country and all over the world so everyday a future addict takes their name and identity and they end up being the walking dead. I was just a warm, self-numbing, self-hating corpse for 24 years. It sucked and it sucks that these humans suffer like this and we all go on living our lives as if they don't exist or matter. Thank you for taking the time to find the humanity and individuality of us the broken people, Mark.
As a former teacher I think he has underestimated the affects of ADHD. Especially since the Fentanyl doesn’t sedate him. He of an age when it wasn’t understood and treated. I don’t know if he could get medication for ADHD since he’s addicted to the other. I’m so sorry that he is alone. Seems he would do well in a literacy program of some kind. I would like to work with him. I’m sure other teachers would as well.
I wish him everything good going forward. He deserves it. He doesn’t realize it but he does. He’s a good man.
Can we get an update on Roy? He seems like a genuine soul.
I have two years clean! Thank you for asking 💚
