So very sorry to read this and can't imagine the pain your family is going through. I will be passing this onto my own kids. Such a terrifying thing as a parrent, that something happens to our kids.
Thank you for sharing, may your daughter be at peace.

I am so sick of this scourge . I am so sad for you and your little girl.
1422 O.D. deaths in B.C. this year, most of them from phentinal. We need the death penalty for the importers and dealers.
Bless you and your daughter and I wish you some measure of peace eventually. Our hearts are with you. Joe and Leslie.

No words to express how deep the condolences are from one father to another in a tragedy like this.

All that is left for us is to let her go to sleep, pain free and peacefully on Sunday!
If I could I would take the 12 gauge and deal with the scum dealing with this but that would lead to losing my remaining two children!
Addiction is a terrible thing, especially when it happens to ones family!
Looks like we will have no choice but to let her go to sleep forever, pain free, and with as much comfort as possible on Sunday.
PLEASE give your kids a big hug and kiss today, and tell them of the dangers of this drug epidemic we are experiencing!!!

I feel your pain, and your anger!
This is unnecessary, I've Struggled with addiction as well, so I've seen both sides of the story. The dealers, traffickers, and organized crime NEED to be held accountable for this crisis, they NEED to be charged with premeditated murder, knowingly selling this poison and actually making money, at the cost of innocent peoples lives is unacceptable! Preying on those with addiction is such despicable act. Why our governing bodies stand idle is beyond me. Somethings got to change, this cannot continue. I am so scared of what my boys will face when they are older, especially, coming from families with long histories of addiction. I am so sorry for your loss, and pain, condolences to you and your family, take care.

Very horrible for all, sorry to hear, I know a guy who's kid got imprisinment for dealing, he wanted sympathy from me in conversation about the sentencing, my reply is he is a monster who directly or indirectly killed people or torn lives apart.
I know people have choices just a all around sad situation with horrible outcomes.

Sad, I know we have choices to take drugs or not, but I wish if the dealers were caught, execute them, one less can never hurt. I can't imagine if they decriminalise drugs, dealers will spring up everywhere. They need to be terminated, not released to go back to selling. It's a sad world.

I don’t even know what to say RBH. So sad. You and your family have my deepest condolences.

I took the liberty to share your story with my 12 year old daughter and 14 year old son. It’s one of my worst fears as a parent since it only takes using Fentanyl or another drug laced with it once to have the same results.

Thank-you RBH for finding the resolve to put your pain down in words so that others on here can use it to possibly help prevent the same from happening to one of their loved ones.

RBH; I truly don’t know what to say. Reading your post was gut wrenching. No parent should have to go through what your are dealing with right now. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

So sorry for you and your family RBH. My youngest is that age. May you receive much comfort and strength in the days to come.

I lost a good friend, my # 1 hunting buddy, some years ago to addiction, it still wrenches my heart when I think about him and miss him.

Friends have lost kids too, one guy lost 2 sons the same night! And another a couple of years later. So tragic.

I think these issues are far worse than we even know, and likely to get even worse yet.

I have 2 boys (2&4 in March) and it already crosses my mind from time to time on how to educate them on just how dangerous making bad decisions nowadays can be. I assume it'll only be worse once they reach the age to make those bad decisions. Growing up, it sure didn't seem like we had to consider that one hit, line, drag, etc could be your last... (Full disclosure, MJ is as bad as it got for me...) I completely understand your want to punish those who supplied the stuff. I would do the same, 100%.

I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. Use whatever means necessary for the support and healing you and your family my need. Take care!
I don't know what kind of parenting advice I can give you. Ì struggled with this as well when my kids were growing up. They're 21,22,24. It don't seem to matter which kind of a upbringing these kids have, there is still a very big risk of the influence of drugs. I would like to think that what rbh and claystones heart breaking experience would be enough to deter these kids from making poor decisions. Unfortunately in lots of cases it does not. I guess probably the best advice I can give you is educate yourself thoroughly on the signs to look for and teach your kids honesty and integrity so they'll be open and forth coming about what they're up to. I've learned this by the mistakes I made by being closed minded to my kids and giving them a blast of **** rather then trying to be understanding. I am going to show my kids rbh's post and I hope that they'll get the idea about drugs and the effects that it has on lives.

Rbh and claystone I am very truly sorry for your losses.

I cannot imagine your pain. A sadness that may dull with time but never go away. Cherish the good times.

My deepest condolences.
As a new father I can only imagine how painful this must be. Our kids are so precious and I am going to go hug my daughter as soon as she wakes up.
