Neglection Recoverer

Tracy had a mother that was battling a heroine addiction, while neglecting her. At the age of 12 Tracy ran away from her mother to family that could take care of her. She was traumatized from leaving her mother even tough she couldn't take care of her. Even through all of this Tracy is still luckier than most people. She was lucky because she had family, and she had the determination and courage to beat her problems.

The way Tracy beat her neglection was through Kempe Fostering Healthy Futures Program. This program takes the child in foster or kinship care and provides with a mentor and has them attend weekly therapeutic skills sessions. This provides the child with resources to heal.

Having a mother on a drug addiction must be really bad especially when the child is not even a teenager yet. I know I would hate having to go through this.
