Our 16 year old son died from AeA 2 1/2 years ago. Indeed, it was an
experiment that went terribly wrong. I appreciate how you wrote
that - and a good way to explain it. I will probably use your words
in the future.

I am so so sorry for the death of your dear loved one. My heart
truly goes out to you. We tell our other children, it is a foolish
and stupid thing our son did - just like driving too fast - drinking
too much - shooting a BB gun at someone (something we just dealt
with) - there is NO difference.

My heart hurts with you, and hope you find love and support here, and
a place you can remember the good times as well.
