God bless Jan Hollingsworth for opening up her very intimate and painful story of her son. This is even more incredible given that Hollingsworth is a public figure - as a reporter and more - who allowed us into her private world in order to help others with a complicated drug. Until I read her beautifully written story, all I knew about GHB was that it's "the date-rape drug." I am certain many of us who are kid/tween/teen parents, who are trying to keep up with the latest addictive substance and who support our wonderful and life-pressured kids, have written in to your excellent paper. Excellence comes from an angel of a lady named Jan Hollingsworth. I am saddened, moved and changed by her story. And as her story ends, it will save more than one life. I am confident of that.
