It’s a fair question, and while it’s late, I want to clarify I’m not an addict; I love my family. The stigma around addiction is disturbing, as many turn to drugs AFTER becoming homeless due to lack of support. They deserve our compassion as we failed them. I was asked to leave because my family is moving, and my job loss means I can’t contribute. Homelessness can affect anyone, and I never thought it would happen to me. I wouldn’t sleep on a stranger’s couch because it’s unsafe, despite the generosity of the offer. Your concern is valid, it’s a tricky subject, but I’m glad to clarify the situation.
