At 51, she found something in her son's drawer.
Blister packs with every tablet pushed out. Dozens of them.
She had seen the signs for months and told herself other things.
The sleeping until 2pm. The money disappearing from her bag. The weight falling off his face so gradually she almost missed it.
She told herself he was stressed. That he would snap out of it.
The empty blister packs said otherwise.
She confronted him. He denied everything.
She cut off his money. He found another way.
She told his father. His father said she was overreacting.
For eight months she tried everything she knew. Nothing held.
Then another mother handed her something. A guide written specifically for Nigerian mothers in her situation. The right contacts in Lagos. The exact words to use. A plan written for a Nigerian home.
She had been trying to solve a problem without a map.
Fourteen months later her son is in treatment and doing well.
She said: "I want every Nigerian mother who has stood holding something she found in her son's room to know that there are actual next steps. You are not helpless."
Her full story will change what you believe is possible.
