She sat down with our sister site Rolling Stone for an intimate conversation via video chat, and reflected on better days. “As the mother of someone who was addicted to opioids, it’s a struggle,” she began. “You want to help your child. You want to make them all better. He was a young adult. There were things out of my control, of course.”
