Trigger warning for grief, substances, abuse


To the parents of Landon,

What the fuck is wrong with you? Truly. How could you treat a human being that way?

Landon was one of the sweetest human beings I've met in my life. I know you weren't ever around so you wouldn't know, but he was so smart and funny and generous. He would've given a stranger the shirt off his back for nothing. He would've given his life to see someone smile.

You destroyed him. You gave him alcohol when he was fucking 12. I know you guys were dealers but leave your innocent kid out of it!! He never deserved it at all. He got addicted because he needed to fill the void you created. You weren't there for him. I remember one time he got so drunk he couldn't stop throwing up and he was so fucking scared. We called you so many times. We waited with him in the hospital. I was the one to hold his hand. That was your job as a mother. You failed.

Even at the height of his addiction he never became a bad person. He never stole, he never lied or cheated, he was just sad. And I hated you guys for it. But after the hospital he tried to go sober. Everyone always talks about how you need a plan or AA but he did it all by himself for a month. He cried to me after a week saying he couldn't do it. He cried to ME. YOU ARE HIS PARENTS. We threw a big party for him after a month. We were so proud of him. We invited you guys. You didn't come to your own son's sobriety party. You guys are disgusting.

Why the fuck would you give him Meth?? He was so depressed, weren't you thinking at all. It's your fault he's gone and you know it. It's why you had no funeral and why you refused to answer to any of us. He was so loved by us. I know we can never replace the part of parents, but we loved him so much. You guys belong in hell. I will never forgive you for stealing my best friend.
