Understanding the dangers of methamphetamine (Crystal meth)

Being the step-daughter of a Crystal meth addict I know it eventually it will destroy your family.
I had a normal childhood till i was five. My mom got together with my step-dad when i was 2 everything was normal is was the perfect little family. My mom got pregnant with my little sister and went down hill after that. My step-dad became angry yelling and screaming and their would be a time during the whole month that he'd be really nice. It was like he had really bad mood swings.

For years me, mom and sister got verbally and mentally abused.
When i turned ten it got worse he started physically harming us. My mom kept a journal hidden in my room about my step-dads behaviors.
When i turned 12 my step-dad came home and started throwing things at us and just fell to the floor. He was pasty white sweating and shaking my mom didn't understand.
Well my mom went to the police they could only hold my step-dad for 24 hours. So we had to go stay at my grandmas. After my step-dad got out we got him a trailer to live in a trailer park months went by and everything was fine my mom thought about moving him back in. Not long after that like three days later he called my mom telling her he was going to kill himself my mom called the police when they went over they found a gun loaded and crystal meth in a bag!

Crystal Meth in my opinion is the worst drug, it makes you do things you would never think of doing, you lie, you steal, and you hurt. Don't do Crystal meth and talk to your kids about it.
