The world is shocked by the news that Demi Lovato was hospitalized as a result of an
apparent drug overdose.
The ambulance arrived when Demi was already unconscious.
Her doctor states that for now, Lovato is stable, conscious and breathing.
While Demi is slowly coming back to reality, tabloids are bursting with articles about
her drug and alcohol addiction.
What is the reason that pushed Demi onto that nasty path?
The answer probably hides in her childhood struggles.
So let us dive deeper into Demi`s story.
It might be no coincidence that her father struggled with alcoholism and addiction and
her mother had bulimia.
We know that those are both things that Lovato has experienced herself.
She explained that she was first introduced to cocaine when she worked for the Disney Channel.
But the reason she did start cocaine is most likely because of her father.
He was the one who contributed to her decision to turn to drugs and alcohol.
He was an addict and an alcoholic.
Demi watched him getting high since she was a child.
According to Lovato’s sister, Dallas, their biological father “would rage and yell and
throw things, and Demi saw that.”
Perhaps her father's behavior explains the angry outbursts and manipulation Demi often
displays herself.
In one interview, Demi revealed that her father's lies did not have any boundaries;
It might be unfair to say that Lovato learned this behavior directly from her father, but
it could very well have had an impact on her.
In addition to her father, Lovato`s mom also damaged Demi`s mental health.
Lovato’s mother desperately strived for physical perfection and, of course, it impacted
on her children.
We all know how much a parent’s body image can affect our own.
With all that destructive childhood issues, the adult Demi` has been known for her candid
use of cocaine and addiction to alcohol, as well as mental health issues and an eating disorder.
Because of that, Demi consciously went to a sober living house.
When her rehab program was finished, Demi chose to stay there for 2 more years just
to make sure she will be strong enough to live a life without drugs.
And last year, Demi proudly celebrated six years of sobriety.
It seemed she was doing fine.
Although, just a few weeks ago the singer revealed that she had suffered a relapse.
The pop star made the recent revelation about the setback in her new single, 'Sober'.
"I'm sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again ... I want to be a role model
but I'm only human," she sings.
It's hard to tell what made her slip up, but the last incident shows that she definitely
needs help again.
According to Harvey Levin, those close to Lovato tell vastly opposite stories about
her last days before the incident.
One source claims that she was happier than ever, celebrating the birthday of one of her
backup dancers just the night before.
Others state that on the evening she was obviously in "a downhill spiral".
Who we should trust and what the trigger was for that overdose remains a mystery.
Lovato, who is soon turning 26, is already awake and with her family.
Lovato's representative expressed their thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support.
The family also added that "Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully
ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important
thing right now."
We hope Demi will recover as soon as possible and will continue to please her fans with
favorite songs.
