Both of my parents were heroin addicts during Zurich’s famous “Needle Park” drug crisis in the 80s/90s. AMA.

Hi all,

In the late 80's /90's a park in Zurich turned into a huge open drug scene. Both of my parents were a part of it, they suffered from common diseases you can get via shared syringes and/or drug use. Both were HIV and Hepatitis C positive before I was born. They met in rehab but relapsed in their own ways after I was born. My mum developed paranoid Schizophrenia too.

This topic is more relevant than ever due to known open drug scenes in various countries so I thought I could share some insights on how this life as a kid can look.

I'm doing okay, it could be better, it could be worse. AMA :)
