Dear Jade, my beautiful daughter,
I've watched in absolute horror as this addiction
has consumed and tortured your very soul.
I've watched in absolute horror as you've spiraled
from a girl so full of life and spirit to a girl
that I don't even know.
I'm so afraid that I will soon face a parent's worst
nightmare, losing a child.
I as your mom and a nurse cannot help you.
This beast is greater than you and I both.
I can no longer watch you slowly head toward your own death.
Jade if you don't accept this help,
I have no choice but to tell you you have to leave our home,
even though it hurts.
It's weird because when I'm sober I just don't care.
I just would of rather just died.
I really don't want to live.
Jaybird, I'm so sorry that I attempted suicide,
because I believe that incident added to your perception
that life is not worth living.
And for that, I'm deeply sorry.
OK.
I live in fear every day in anxiety waiting for that call
to say that you finally OD'd for the last time.
[sniffles]
No parent should ever have to go
through that, should never have to go to their child's funeral.
And I'm willing to accept the help that's been offered to me.
And I would really like this to be a joint effort
so we can heal together.
Please?
Thank you, Roger.
OK, so everyone breathe.
Jade, thank you for listening.
So I want to know, are you ready to accept this help that's
being offered today Jade?
Where would I be going?
Great question.
So we've lined up one of the best treatment centers for you
in North America.
It's called Belwood Addiction Treatment Centers.
It's in Toronto.
And it means that if you accept this help today,
you and I will be getting on a flight in a few hours
and get you set up there.
Rogers agreed to get some help with an actual therapist, not
a psychiatrist, not just more drugs, but actually
someone to help him talk about the stuff he's
been through in his own relationship with death.
So I want you to know that your family is really
looking at this and looking at their part
in how this all came to happen.
And we've all got hope, OK?
So I want to know are you ready to accept this help that's
being offered today, Jade?
Yeah, I'll go.
Yes, you'll go?
Yeah.
OK.
Thank you, bird.
I love you.
Good luck.
I know you can do it.
And I love you.
I love you, too.
Thanks for everything.
Got your angel?
I love you.
Thinking about you.
I love you, jaybird. - I love you, too.
You're the star today.
Imagine if you can wake up and not
be dependant or feend Then, to me,
then you're giving yourself a fair chance.
You understand?
That's what I'm hoping this place will be able to give
you that opportunity.
I hope so.
