In this heartbreaking episode, Beth chronicles her son, Zach’s, early years and how his battle with anxiety, depression, and substance abuse started and ultimately cost him his life on March 25, 2019. Beth believes mental illness and substance abuse went hand-in-hand for Zach, and that Zach’s substance abuse started when he self-medicated with illegally purchased Xanax and then moved to prescription pain medicine after his wisdom teeth removal. Beth talks about the difficulties she experienced parenting him, the fine line between enabling and helping, police involvement that led to jail time, and dealing with the grief of losing her son.
