This is a story about a mother and son, a story about addiction.
I Can’t Do This Anymore documents a year in the life of Karen Hardy and Bryan Massey. It was written in real-time over the course of a year while Bryan was in active addiction, in and out of rehabs, jail, and living on the street. Karen started writing in July 2016 not knowing how the year would end and committed to documenting whatever happened. The ups and downs will leave you reeling and not knowing what comes next.
