Once
upon a time, there was a happy young boy, who spent most of his time in the
woods and running through the fields, just enjoying everything. His father
was a hard man, who loved him, but didn’t know how to show it; while his
mother took a lot of time with him, showed him a lot of love and how to have
fun. The little boy continued to feel pretty safe and happy until
one day his father and mother started having problems. The little boy began
wondering what was going on. He did not understand, so he started acting
silly. All of a sudden his world did not seem so safe and fun. It seemed as
if it were falling apart. Before too long, his parents’ relationship fell
apart. When this happened, the little boy was very hurt. No one seemed to
notice that the little boy was hurting so much. It was really awful. So the
little boy tried to deal with it the best he could. One day,
the little boy began to learn, that it did not hurt so much if he took drugs
or drank alcohol. It wasn’t long after that, he no longer felt safe, happy
or hurt, because he spent most of his time high. Before long, it was as if,
he wasn’t the same and his life wasn’t the same, and things got real
crazy and out of hand. Before anyone knew it, that happy little boy was lost.
