Like to push your mama's buttons, eh?

Yeah. ‐ Yeah.

She's got three kids.

She just looks like...

Do you have any heroin?

I've only got five bucks...

She's been on the streets.

You guys don't ‐ you don't have any down?

There's a lot of memories with Chelan.

Me and Chelan were really close.

Chelan was always very active.

We lived in a cul‐de‐sac with my dad,

and she had tons and tons of friends.

She was always outside playing with them.

Chelan was happy‐go‐lucky.

She liked being around people; always smiling.

Chelan had a really special relationship with my dad.

I was the favourite, you know...

I came first before everyone else.

And love her, I mean, I only want the best for her.

But ah...

I probably wasn't the best father.

My dad's parenting style was he was drunk.

I was an alcoholic; I still am an alcoholic.

I was drinking upwards of a 26'er a day.

But you know, I remember my dad, like,

when he would drink, like...

He did a lot of like insensitive things.

He didn't really, you know,

take care of my two older siblings.

Family was very unhealthy, very not functional.

Like, it wasn't... happy times.

Like my mom was always bitchy,

and my dad was always drunk.

I couldn't be around my dad and his alcoholism,

so I cut it all out.

I left when I was 19, to go work in Alberta.

And, I had very little contact with any of

my family because my dad was a drunk,

straight drunk.

I think I felt really alone.

Really, really alone.

I felt like I was just such a burden.

We were definitely partying and going out drinking,

Then, all of sudden, now she's pregnant.

Her first two children were born in the same year,

one in January, one in December,

later that year.

He was into selling drugs, all that kind of stuff.

He cheated on me all the time.

Like, it was just...

up and down. It was ‐

♪

Chelan did really well as a single mom.

She was amazing.

Her kids had everything they wanted.

I was proud. I had these two beautiful little boys

who I was taking care of.

They gave me motivation to better myself.

She started going back to school for a program that

was tailored specifically for young mothers.

Shortly after that, she met Chris.

Chris was so nice, accepting, didn't drink...

Didn't really party...

He took on her boys like they were his own.

My brother did everything for Chelan's two boys.

We just moved into this nice house.

I was happy.

I was starting my photography business.

That was her pride and joy.

She would always take pictures of her kids,

go around taking pictures of other people's families.

She did my maternity photo shoot for me.

It seemed like Chelan captured true moments,

like, true, realness through people.

She was able to bring out a lot of happiness in a lot of people.

I saw that she was putting her family first.

She resented me for quite a while,

but then we slowly started to have a good relationship.

We were buddy buddies again.

She blossomed into a homemaker,

a potential wife; they got engaged.

She became pregnant.

Those were the happiest days of my life.

I was taking care of both my kids, like, I...

I was so happy; I really was.

I loved being a mother.

But, I know that after Chelan had Zayden,

Chris had a detachment from her.

And, the pressure of them both working full‐time,

and the pressure of having three children

became too much,

and the relationship just deteriorated.

Chris was driving me to work.

When he dropped me off, he just was like...

"I don't love you anymore".

My reality...

like, just broke.

I didn't know, like, who I was anymore, like...

My family, this, you know,

beautiful family that I had was...

I could still be loved.

He loved and accepted her, and...

Also fed her prescription drugs.

And that's when everything changed.

She went from having her photography business, to...

Living on the streets.

♪

She used all her money on drugs.

And the boys were eating from the food bank,

if they were eating.

Her relationship with her boyfriend turned abusive.

She was scared to leave him.

There was just no hope at that point,

and, one weekend she took the kids to their

respective fathers and did not pick them up.

Said, "I do not want to be a mother right now.

I do not want this responsibility.

Nobody find me, just leave me alone".

I finally did see her, in public.

She had more than one purse, and a bag,

and a backpack; that was the first time I knew

they were out on the street.

Chelan became...

a ghost in less than two years.

♪

When (beep) went to jail, Chelan was alone on the street.

And she didn't have anybody to get her the things that

she needed to get high, so she started prostituting.

out on the streets anymore.

I've just tried to be there for her,

non‐judgmentally. Keep an eye on her.

Morning.

My name is Maureen Brine,

So I'm here to really help you...

To get ready to intervene on Chelan tomorrow.

And this pre‐intervention day is your day.

How do you think her addictions have affected you?

She doesn't have ‐ she hasn't been a part of

my family, so she hasn't had a chance to

build a relationship with her niece.

I would love to...

For my daughter to have that aunt.

Yeah, that would be great, wouldn't it?

I want to see her get better,

for herself, for her boys, for her family.

'Cause she is a great mum.

You know, you see her ‐ I see her now.

I drive down the street. You wave to her or something

and she doesn't even acknowledge you.

Like she drops her head. She sees you,

she just doesn't acknowledge you.

She's just ‐ it's not her. ‐ Right, yeah.

You know?

I don't think she realized it was gonna get where it is now.

I don't think anybody does when you're in that ‐

I don't think anyone wakes up one morning and goes,

"Now I'm on the road to becoming a heroin addict," right.

No, I think she went from zero to sixty really quick.

You're right.

And you gotta stay at sixty. ‐ You're right.

What led her in this direction?

In my opinion, Chelan has...

Abandonment issues, I'd say.

That's a good word.

Has a fear of being alone, and just,

you know, needing to be with someone in order to feel whole,

or to have an illusion of feeling whole.

And is there anyone here that she might point a finger at?

Phil, you're right in the center there, Phil.

Well, I, I don't know.

I figured Chelan's addiction,

she would get over it, and...

I didn't think it was as serious as it ‐

as what I've come, come to learn.

Yeah.

You know, and now I've seen it firsthand.

Well, having the attitude of, 'it's none of my business,'

right... ‐ Well, I've always ‐

..."She'll get over it," didn't help.

I have my own demons. Not drugs, but...

I was fighting with alcohol,

drinking almost a 40‐pounder a day.

Wow. ‐ By myself.

By yourself, yeah.

Did Chelan grow up with you drinking very heavily?

At times, yes. ‐ Okay, yeah.

So, that also makes you not available, right?

Ah, yeah.

So it may have impacted her life, too.

Yep. ‐ That's hard.

Hard as a dad to see your daughter that sick.

Yep. ‐ Yeah.

How do you guys feel about the fact that he's sitting here?

It's great. ‐ It's great.

Yeah.

And I think Chelan would realize that, too.

You know, I think that you owe your kids your recovery.

Oh, I know that. ‐ Yeah, you owe your kids.

All of them; not just one.

Yeah, when you put it all together,

there is a history of loss and abandonment.

For sure.

Right? ‐ Yeah.

Some of what I would call the predisposing factors

to her addiction, right...

That, that kind of ruptures of connection, really.

Mhm.

And you know, that cycle of abandonment is continuing on

because now her drug addiction has pulled her

away from her own children.

Yeah, well my, my brother and Chelan

were together for quite some time.

Yeah.

And, Zayden lives in the house with me, and...

I, I see how it affects him every single day.

Well, you're seeing the effects on a little boy

of not having his mum around. ‐ Yeah.

Right, so, hopefully we can stop that cycle.

So, she's been going to your house as

kind of a safe house?

At night, yeah. ‐ At night time.

My rules are you can't be there during the day,

really, unless it's, you know,

something really urgent.

I ask that she don't contact me later than eleven if she ‐

If she's coming over. ‐ Coming over.

Right. So you're providing a safe haven for her.

Yeah, and that, for me, is hard.

It's a fine line between enabling and harm reduction.

That's a tough line to walk, right.

And I think that the distinction is that

she's sick, not bad. ‐ Yes.

And so she maybe gets that you get that, right?

Yes.

So I want your letters to begin with whatever

you want to say about your love for her.

The next piece is that you need to tell her about

how the addiction has impacted you,

without shaming or blaming her.

Then the third part is, of course,

what you are prepared to do.

You need to be really clear that you need to

save yourself if she won't save herself.

Mhm.

An intervention is only as strong as the bottom lines.

If you can't follow through with it,

do not write it down.

It's all right.

it's a hard drug.

It's really difficult for withdrawal.

Cold turkey, we would lose her.

Absolutely.

The nurses are gonna go through a

withdrawal protocol with her.

Based on that, that's when a decision is made

as to what medication she'll get.

We're gonna try to set up something so that she will

be able to interact with her kids at a safe,

therapeutic level here for her,

and for them.

I took off these foggy glasses and I can see again,

and I don't think I realized...

The beautiful world I lived in.

I took it all for granted.

I think one of her greatest break throughs was,

"I'm not that person anymore," and

it was a surprise for her. "I'm not that person".

I think she knew who she was before she came here.

I think she just lost connection with that.

But, it ‐ I think it was evident that she

reconnected with who she knew she was.

(Screams & Laughs)

I wake up and I'm happy, and I'm joyful,

and I feel good, and I don't need substances.

(Laughs)

Sometimes, I really had to keep reminding myself like,

"I am not a drug addict anymore.

I am not a drug addict anymore".

I mean, it's...

it's a beautiful feeling.

It was emotional seeing her just...

you know, seeing how healthy she was.

It wasn't the same person she was 99 days ago.

I've met so many friends.

You look happy. ‐ Do I look happy?

You look so good.

Sky's the limit.

I mean, she can do whatever she wants.

There is no holding her back and I think she realizes that,

so to be there and to see it,

and experience it with her, is, is huge.

I'm so excited. Like, I'm so excited, just...

To live again, like, oh my God.

When Chelan arrived, she was quite desperate

to have a different way of life.

She lost connection with who she was,

but I think she got reconnected with the real Chelan.

You know, Chelan the mom.

You know, she got in touch with that quite quickly.

Almost 100 days, that's awesome.

Yeah. ‐ That's amazing.

I know.

It's gonna be a journey for all of us to, to go on.

Learning to love and live,

and be with each other, you know...

In a whole different way.

In a whole different light and way.

This journey's, it's just beginning.

It's gonna be good. ‐ It's gonna be good.

Bye, Debbie. ‐ It was a pleasure.

I love you!

Do great, because you are, okay?

Okay, yeah. ‐ Love you.

Love you, too.

A lot of people want to have this chance to come and

get better, and I was granted with it, so, like,

I wanna, I wanna make the best of this.

I don't want to have something like this given

to me and then I just throw it away.

I mean, I gotta take this and do something

that's amazing with it.
