Glass 25-50

During these pages of the book Kristina can't stop thinking about getting her next fix. She starts thinking real hard about her son and her family but can't help but want more. She hadn't had any meth since before her son, Hunter, was born. Her old friend, Robyn, used to be her main hook up until she went off to college. Robyn's little brother happens to be Kristina's old bestfriend, before she started getting into drugs. She called Trent, Robyn's brother, to see if she could get ahold of Robyn. He told Kristina to stay as far away as possible but she finally convinced him to give her enough information to find her. Her next big challenge was coming up with a lie to tell her Mom so she could borrow the car and drive three hours to Robyn's dorm in Stockton. She told her Mother that she wanted to go to a college convention and asked her to watch Hunter while she was gone. Kristina's Mom fell for her lie so easily that Kristina mostly wants to blame her for her problems because she makes it so easy. The only problem left was she needed money for meth, which is not cheap. Her Mom gave her a crisp hundred dollar bill for gas but it wasn't enough to get the score. She actually got ahold of her own son's life savings and promised to replace it as soon as she could.

I really enjoy reading this book but at the same time it frustrates me. It's like I'm sitting back watching her make these mistakes and there's nothing you can do but keep reading. Kristina and myself knows what path that's going to put her back down again and it's sad that her baby Hunter has to have a Mother who cares more about getting high than taking care of him. His father's out of the picture, and unless Kristina can stop her addiction and get her life together there's no way Hunter's going to be able to live a normal life. It's interesting to me to see how people act when they're really addicted to something. I've realized that it takes over your mind. You're not the same person when you're on drugs and you just can't think clearly. I don't at all blame Kristina's Mom for her problems. Drug addicts are manipulative and she fell for her lie, but I know she would have done anything to keep Kristina away from that stuff again.
