So late on this.. but why did the interviewer ask "What do you have to say to mothers of other STARS..?" Why did she specifically stars? What about "normal" children?
Very inspirational and strong woman. Even in her loss she was able to realize that it wasn't her fault and that it was a terrible accident that unfortunately was brought on by his bad choices involving drugs.
As someone who does consulting and volunteer work with people living with addiction, narcotics in particular, I can tell you than NONE of them are easy to beat; even the more benign, cigarette (in ref. to addiction). Anyone who's smoked tobacco daily for more than 20 years will agree whole-heatedly. There are many kinds of addiction, including behavioral, like the so-called 'work-oholic, gambling, sex, etc. Behavioral ones create pathways (think of an 'Etch-a-Sketch) of which psychological therapy serves to have them be 're-routed', or 'overwritten', with new ones that correspond to behavior that is more positive.
The core issue with substances is the havoc it reaps neurologically. They significantly alter brain chemistry, some more or less than others, and in the case of heroin the changes are severe. A quick and dirty Biology .0101, lol: our brain has various structures that work with and react to substances – all are biochemical in nature. It also makes and secretes its own substances. The one's called 'receptors' are like 'key holes'. Each receptor corresponds to specific 'transmitters' which are like 'keys'.. When a person uses heroin for the 1st time, the opiate receptors get full quickly. Over time these receptors become 'entrained', or used to the substance. Imagine a keyhole getting worn and the opening gets wider; one has to use more of the drug, in order to adequately fill them and get the same 'high', otherwise withdrawal symptoms will result. Consistent drug use completely reprograms the brain and creates a situation where the body can no longer function properly without it. This is why addiction is a medical issue NOT a law enforcement one. And the term 'drug abuse' is the incorrect one to use for this condition. The professional terminology for a Methadone program is 'methadone maintenance' and should be used across the board. The person is really in a state of 'substance maintenance'. The 'cravings' and seeking out behavior is driven by the chemical imbalance brought about from consistent use of the drug. It's a vicious cycle.
It is always a tragedy when a young person's Life is cut short in any manner. Yet, it's even more terrible when drugs like heroin are the culprit. Helping a person struggling with addiction can seem like a never ending battle; it requires bucket loads of tolerance, Compassion and most of all: Forgiveness. Something that we, as a culture, don't have very much of these days,
Peace & Blessings to the family and friends of Cory Monteith.
sue sylvester is wicked to the core in real life , even at finns dead in real life she chose not to mourn him by acting the wicked part in that episode sue you are wicked for life
finn real life dad that abandoned him , if you are alive, i pray sincerely that when you die, you go to hell but, if you are already dead and by mistake you are in heaven , i cry and pray honestly that you be transferred to hell because thats where you deserve and belong . you are part of the cause of his dead, if you had been there , he would have lasted more years before dying and to any other person, group or society who manipulated and conspired his dead, i wish you worst than what i wished finn's dad. you all will suffer in life and in death uncountable numbers compared to what cory monteith went through. the grief and pains that his family passed through, you all families will witness more. sins of the fathers passed to the generations born and yet to be born, shame on you all. whenever you all see a free spirit you try to hunt, you all are devil in disguise. God punish you all. His blood forever be on your heads.
While people are grieving they aren't always in their "right state" of mind. I think it takes a lot of nerve to ask a grieving parent if she blames Hollywood — luckily she didn't say something she'd regret during a very sad time.
I can't even begin to imagine how hard this must be for her, she is so strong… to be able to talk about your son's death just one year later, that shows so much bravery and strenght, i hope, wherever Cory is right now, he feels peace. RIP Cory, you were a gift to the world <3
Hollywood and fame are very hard for someone who is going through personal challenges like he was. God bless this woman's, Lea, and everyone else who is suffering the loss. You could tell he was such a sweet guy when Ellen interviewed him about Lea.
is the interviewer fuckin stupid?! these questions, seriously
.'So late on this.. but why did the interviewer ask "What do you have to say to mothers of other STARS..?" Why did she specifically stars? What about "normal" children?
He had her eyes.
