Ten years later in 2019 Michelle Miller, a registered nurse, lost her son, Tanner, to toxic drug poisoning. “I am a mom of five, my oldest is 32 and my youngest is 19, and I have had a lot of teenagers in my house over the years and I am a really good listener now – I wasn’t before – but I am now,” Miller said. “I think it’s important for parents to listen to their kids and engage with them and talk with them about drugs.” Miller said at the time it was very hard to understand drug use as her family did not use drugs or drink alcohol or smoke. “So we were just an every day average family and our son was struggling,” Miller said about her second youngest son Tanner. Miller said Tanner’s addiction ultimately progressed to methamphetamine, his drug of choice.
