Although she has stayed clear of drugs for 15 years now, the journey to recovery wasn't easy for 39-year-old Hannah Chun. Growing up in a broken home, Chun began consuming drugs at 13 to cover up the abandonment, rejection and hurt that she was going through. Her parents divorced when she was about eight years old, and her mum left the house, reported Christian publication Salt and Light. Her two sisters then left the home, leaving her alone with her 'temperamental' father and grandfather. She also dropped out of school at 13 and started drinking, smoking and taking drugs. At 15, she began sourcing for drugs overseas and selling them to her friends who were also drug abusers. "I felt rejected, abandoned and alone,” she told the Christian publication. Son used pencil to hurt others For Chun, her turning point came when she saw her eldest son, who was about four then, acting up in school. The boy would use a pencil to poke his friends' hands, injuring them. He was also very fearful. Chun added that he also exhibited other worrying behaviours at home.
