When my son Nic was born, I was like other parents who hope that their children will be healthy and happy.
But when Nic became addicted to heroin and methamphetamine as a teenager, my dreams shifted.
I’ve been thinking about another father of a son with a severe substance-use disorder; a son who survived and is now in recovery.
But much of the discourse around Joe and Hunter Biden seems so wrongheaded to me.
That’s because it reflects a profound misunderstanding of the relationship many parents have with children with substance-use disorders.
