DCP Overshare

So I picked DS up from DC yesterday and was asking his overlap teacher if he'd had fun playing with the new baby who's the same age. She joked about DS pulling his hair and asked DS jokingly if he was going to be a bully. I joked about how he'd only do it once...yada, yada...then she says "I hope that's the worst you have to worry about. I had to kick my 24 year old out last night, he's addicted to heroin."

She then gives me the whole story, starts crying, I give her a hug, tell her I'll talk to DH to see if he knows any services that can help.

I have many thoughts about this:

1) I feel terrible for her.

2) I don't want her being distracted while taking care of DS.

3) I don't want DS to ever grow up. I want him to be a perfect, happy, baby that everyone loves.

DH is worried her son will come up to the daycare.

Overall I wish she'd kept it to herself, but I do feel really terrible for her.

    Eek! Why do people love talking about heroin? When I was still single, eons and eons ago, I lived with three girls and we were always having parties. There was this guy we called Heroin Mike because he once was over when I was making chocolate chip cookies and he was asking all these weird questions about them. Then he said, "I wanted to learn how to cook after I move away from home but that's when heroin came into the picture." We were alone in the kitchen and everyone else was in the living room. Um....

    Then one night he started ringing and ringing our bell at 3:00 am because he wanted to crash on our futon. He was clearly using again. Then after that he'd randomly stop by here and there but we never let him in again. He was my roommate's friend but she always made me turn him away, the coward. If I were you, I would be worried because it tended to bring out obsessive behavior in him. Who knows of that's for all heroin addicts?

    A few years ago we came across him at a restaurant. He was a waiter. This all happened right when I met H and he didn't recognize either one of us. I confess, I looked at his arms for track lines but didn't see any. Hopefully, he cleaned himself up.

    Scary stuff, BB!

    That's what DH is concerned about, that he'll show up at DC looking for his mom. There's a code on the door but someone will open it for you if you ring the doorbell (thinking you're there for a tour or something) or you can follow in a polite parent.

    I doubt that's likely, though. I'm more worried about her being distracted.

    I've never been one to not want DS to grow up. I couldn't wait for the fun stages. But, then I see sad, depressed looking teenagers or people who end up in jail or something and all I can think is that they were babies once, too. Their moms thought their futures were bright and their babies were happy and didn't know anything bad. Gah! I'm tearing up. 

    BABIES 4 EVAH!
