A mother tests positive for drugs after her son was choked in their home. The host asks if she wants to stop using, and tells her the priority is getting healthy enough to care for him. This is real life, not TV, and there are no quick fixes.
Chapters
We gotta talk about what's happening here because we have you in a house where now I know you've tested positive, which probably means the person who's in your house who you're trying to get out is using as well, which would explain his behavior of choking your son. It would explain all of this. This all becomes a lot clearer to me now. Do you think you can stop? Yes. And do you want to stop? Yes. You wanna stop? Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, for me right now, the behavior that your son is exhibiting, we wouldn't be able to even get to today because we have to get you to a place as his mother where you can feel healthy enough. And so there's really no real resolution that can happen today on my show because again, as I tell you all the time, this is not for TV for me. This is real life. We all understand that there's been drug use and so that will allow us to figure out how to help you so that way your son can get help.
