Description: This entry contains the first part of the audiobook "Zate" (For you) by author Marjetica Garzarolli Dharu (COBISS ID: 280622851, ISBN: 978-961-7198-95-9). I am a mother who has faced the addiction of my beloved daughter. I want to share our experience so that parents understand that addiction is not something that happens somewhere far away, to someone else. It can happen to those we love most. So that they do not waste precious time in denial and excuses, but instead understand that the struggle with addiction is a shared struggle for the entire family. That the opposite of addiction is connection, and that we should once again surround our addicted, lost child with love. Because there is so much more to them than the drug—so much more that we, as parents, must come to know, understand, and accept. Let this sincere letter to you be a first step, a source of encouragement that may help families like ours and other Anjas. May it help people realize in time that addiction is not a universe unto itself, and that an addict is not solely their own problem. That the family is part of the cause and must become part of the solution. That addiction will not simply disappear on its own. That there is no point in wasting precious time on shame, fear, and avoiding responsibility. That we must courageously ask the right questions and be prepared to hear honest answers. That we must seek a loving and patient path back to our lost and frightened child, listen to them, and truly hear them. Accept the resentments that are difficult to express and difficult to hear. Give them the gift of our time and attention. Offer them our shoulder and walk the difficult road alongside them, getting up again and again, persevering until the very end. And may other Anjas find trust in their parents once more, knowing that their parents will be there for them when no one else is.
