Susán Hoemke dreamt of a perfect family - a loving husband
and four beautiful children. When their
oldest son, Hayden, became addicted to drugs, she struggled with how to
respond. How could this possibly be
happening to their upper-class, Christian family?
By the time Hayden was 10-years-old, she had dreams warning
her of the Hayden’s problems. While her
subconscious recognized what was happening, consciously it was too troubling to acknowledge. Even after entering Hayden into a
$30,000 wilderness camp program for troubled teens, she was shocked to hear the
counselors refer to him as a drug addict.
Healing Scarred Hearts is Susán’s story of dealing with
Hayden’s drug addiction, stealing, sex-offender arrest, jail time and ultimately
his death. This story will help you think about how your
response to a child’s red flag behaviors may effect the outcome.
