“I always thought that we were good parents. But after our son started hanging out with kids that were doing drugs, it felt like we failed. Mr. Carner helped us get through our pain and gave us the tools – and strength – to get our son into counseling. Today, our son is back in our lives and learning new tools to cope with his addiction.”
