Quote:

A mother posted a photo of herself and her children smiling beside her husband's open coffin in an effort to warn people about the danger of addiction.

Eva Holland, from Ohio, wrote in a powerful Facebook post that her husband, Mike Settles, died from a heroin overdose.

"I'm sure this photo makes a lot of people uncomfortable it may even piss a few people off but the main reason I took it was to show the reality of addiction. If you don't choose recovery every single day this will be your only way out," she wrote.
Holland explained that her husband turned to heroin after becoming addicted to pain pills.

Holland explained that her husband turned to heroin after becoming addicted to pain pills.

Holland, who had been with Settles for 11 years, also wrote "If you don't choose recovery every single day this will be your only way out. "

She explained that her husband turned to heroin after becoming addicted to pain pills. "The cold hard truth is heroin kills.

Eva's post has been shared nearly 2,000 times on Facebook and has received around 100 comments.

"This is very heartbreaking. Too many people are silent on addiction's penalty. I pray that you're sharing of this wakes up and inspires someone to get free. I believe it will, Khori Smith wrote.

Another person, Brittany Whiteford, wrote: "This definitely has me in tears thank you sharing. I'm so sorry you and your children have to go through this and hopefully people will start opening their eyes to this terrible addiction."

After her original post Holland wrote a follow-up post on Facebook about an addict that credited her with not overdosing.

"This lady ran up to me crying and asked if she could hug me. I thought she was just having a bad day so I hugged her.

"She said 'I am a heroin addicted and was going to try and overdose last night but then I seen your post and you saved my life. I can never thank you enough!'

"So we stood there hugging each other crying. This right here is what it's all about."

They haven't even nailed the coffin shut, and already she's out whoring for all the attention she can get at the expense of her dead husband's dignity. Look at the smile on her face. Does that look like a woman devastated by the loss of her partner of 11 years? Look at the smiles on her children's faces. Do they look like they will respect the memory of their father? Sure, he was a junkie and that probably impacted their lives in a negative way, but for fuck's sake, this isn't like sharing a photos of your recent trip to Disneyland. Some things simply shouldn't be shared on Facebook, no matter how "powerful" or "inspiring."

A quick look at her Facebook page confirms that she is a recidivist attention whore. (Nice tits though, although you could safely land a 747 on her chin).

And it's very telling that the expression on their faces in the following photo from her Facebook page is indistinguishable from the photo as they are supposedly grieving.

I posted Mike's story on 2 heroin support groups and my page. It's been shared over 1000 times and I've received countless messages and comments from people all over the world. Talking about the problem is truly helping. I've had people tell me that his story stopped them from using and others who say it's motivating them to continue their recovery, even if it a just for the day, this is saving lives. Thank you every one for sharing my post. Means more to me then you'll ever know.

Aren't you a wonderful person? After performing such a good deed, there is no need to advertise this to the world. However you feel compelled to do so because you are an attention whore.

Quote:

I was walking downtown this morning. This lady ran up to me crying and asked if she could hug me. I thought she was just having a bad day so I hugged her. She said "I am a heroin addicted and was going to try and overdose last night but then I seen your post and you saved my life. I can never thank you enough!" So we stood there hugging each other crying. This right here is what it's all about.

Bullshit. That either didn't happen, or you are embellishing the story because you are an attention whore.

Quote:

I had a talk with Mike's parents today about my post. They said it doesn't bother them they just want me to clarify that although we know he struggled with addiction that they have not gotten a coroner's report back yet with the official cause of death.

No they are not okay with you sharing photos of their dead son for the world to see. They are quietly grieving with dignity because they are not attention whores like you.

I have noticed the same kind of behavior in women recently. If anything different happens or something a women does she will share it on the Internet.

Example: a women leaves her kid in the car and brags about it on the Internet and where as other women back her up for her behavior.

[kbell]

There are hardly any pictures of her with the husband or the husband with the kids. Its mainly her and the kids. Why do the kids looks so happy? They should be devastated.

[Hannibal]

So that's what a smiling vulture looks like.

I like to think the contrast isn't shocking anymore because I know better but. . .

from the first image to the second is like (1) slightly frumpy respectable widow to (2) easy slut.

Like Chapelle said, you might not be a whore, but when you wear the uniform. . .

The woman is a useless bitch.
The son just lost his dad and will always wonder what could have been. May he grow strong and be able to defend himself when moms future boyfriends try to slap him around.
Find the red pill kid, you are gonna need it.

Dude. I'm flagging this last part for unnecessary roughness. 10 yard penalty.

Kid is an orphan with an attention whore mom and he can't be more than eight years old. He's dressed in a shirt-tie-vest combo that is horribly wrong-sized, which I'll blame on his mom and his dead junkie dad. He's not wearing a headband or a tutu or anything like that. So the eff word isn't necessary here.

For all you know, in ten years he'll be so red pill he'll make you look beta.

[RoastBeefCurtains4Me]

Kids learn to smile for the camera from infancy nowadays. They don't know how to handle this. As to respecting the husband's dignity, he has none. None. Furthermore, calling the child out as a faggot is fucked up.

The woman wants attention, yes, but this is how women evolved. Its very common for people who suffer some tragedy to try to create some kind of outreach for their issue. I can't blame this woman for the way she's handling this.

If you want to attack attention whoring, there are much better examples that don't involve such tragedy.

Likely she had custody or it was split. Only reason I can think that two kids would not be in shambles seeing their father dead.

What about the back story?

Maybe this man was drawn to drugs to deal with the burden of having to pay child support and deal with excessive and narcissistic woman?

If not then why did she have kids with a drug addict in the first place?


Maybe I am being a asshole but this broad is obviously fishing for attention here and its disgusting.

[Ingocnito]

I for one, am a person who knows that addiction is a sickness and it prays on the weakest of us all.

It then moves it's way up the ladder and takes out people who seemingly have fantastic lives.

The level of distastefulness, the very smiling smirks, etc. going on here is morbid as fuck. Either this guy was a real, real bad man, where it can put an adult in the mindset, along with programmed kids, to find joy in his death, with the dead body right fucking next to them, or this women has crossed many lines doing this.

This is a prime example of when solipsism turns into narcissism. All she cares about is herself. Not kids, not the father, not would-be heroin addicts, who might overdose and learn from this.

I'm in shock really after seeing this, yet, somehow not surprised either.

What happened to SHOWING RESPECT FOR THE DEAD.. ESPECIALLY AT THEIR FUCKING FUNERAL ???????

[Horus]

Nah, it wasn't meant to be taken seriosly. It was more a statement about what happens to a boy in the absence of a strong father and a nurturing mother. I didn't mean that he's actually a faggot and I do feel bad for the kid. His photo is eerily similar to what I looked like at that age, and I can assure you that I was a fucking faggot for the reasons above.

Upon reflection, I do concede that it was an unnecessary thing to write. Seeing the world through our eyes can sometimes turn us into heartless arseholes, and it was fair to call me out. I still maintain that his mother is a worthless sack of shit.

This analysis is something that I always do as well. Did the woman pick a bad guy from the start, or did she pick a good guy and treat him like shit until he went crazy? Only after these two facts have been established is it possible to entertain the possibility of her being a genuine victim.

Even fat and ugly women can take their picks out of a pool of thousands of men. There is simply no excuse to picking wrong or mistreating the one you picked, because it can hardly happen by accident. It happens almost exclusively through a series of a woman's determined, intentional, fucked-up choices.

With great power comes great responsibility.

I'll play devil's advocate here.

Whether or not you perceive this stunt as merely blatant attention whoring or not, this woman has a message that is worth sending. It's about the effects of addiction. I for one think the first picture gets a good point across. Looks like she was trying to going for a traditional looking family photo with the father in his casket in the background signifying what addiction can do to families. What would normally be a happy family is now fatherless/husbandless because of this tragedy. Would the effect be stronger if they were mourning in the photo? I can't say really.

People may make the argument that this is disrespectful to the father, but how so? This man did drugs and left his family behind because of ignorance, selfishness, and weakness. Some may think it absurd that the children are smiling for a picture while standing next to their dead father, but maybe the guy has been abset most of their lives and the emotional pain isn't een there to begin with. None of us know the dynamic of what the family had.

Above all else, this is viral internet media and my very well be bullshit anyway, but...

I was kind of leaning the same way. Although I don't agree with the woman's methods (which in my opinion was done with poor judgment in extremely poor taste), these kids will most likely be without a father due to his drug addiction issues and it is important to reflect on and share these stories. Hopefully it'll reach at least one person and stop them from making the same mistake.

[jayyrod1]

I feel sorry for the children more than anything. This is who theyre going ti learn from and without daddys attention theyll grownuo to be just like mommy. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I understand wanting tobspread a message that is so easily sweptbunder the rug by others but for fucks sake, have you no honour for your dead? Do you prop them up in the common room armchair to watch t.v. all day?
Its like a weekend at bernies for that woman.

[Grodin]

This is so strange that I have a hard time believing it's real.

I had two friends die from heroin, it sucked. Fuck this stupid bitch

[eatthishomie]

Everyone with any kind of sense knows heroin is a bad thing to get into, so what's the point of doing this other than blatant attention whoring?

Horus, you haven't done this surprisingly tasty southern Ohio MILF full justice. I am having a hard time getting the images from Facebook to show in the post, but not only does she have nice tits, she is quite nice all over. Here is a pic of her all porked up in a humble Midwestern orange colored dress posing in her sucking bathroom. And there are many others -- I encourage all interested gentlemen to follow the link above and scroll through the pics.

This woman would be an exceptionally good fuck. She is drenched in estrogen and you can sense the flowing natural movement of her body in every image. She is the kind of bitch whose tits would move in the best and most enraging way when being fucked. I also believe she is a naturally gifted cocksucker, steady and businesslike which can be one of the very best modes. And you can see from the pics with her kids that she loves them and is an affectionate mother. Her junkie husband is a different matter.

[Gorgiass]

I saw this and viewed the photo as an ironic take on a family portrait to send a worthwhile message. I don't care enough about this woman to stalk her FB and see if she is an attention whore, may be the case but the message stands and obviously it is resonating. Heroin is a huge problem where I grew up, including many young parents (who shouldn't be breeding but that's another story) and it's images like this which actually will make someone think twice about picking up the needle, much more so than anything put out by "The Ad Council".

Also, literally every time someone appears on the media at a funeral without tears streaming down their face there are hoards of commenters elsewhere saying what a horrible person they are, and even speculating that they're actually paid actors and Newtown was an inside job. How a person reacts in private and the face they put on at a funeral are completely different, as I hope most here would know. I buried a childhood friend who OD'd and his father was smiling and joking before and after the funeral despite being gutted for years to come. I didn't judge him for it, and when I set a standard I try to stick to it - male, female, friend or stranger.

I'm not seeing the big fuss here.
Ate y'all mad that she is smiling?

People deal with stress and grief differently.
Not everyone breaks down in years.
Some people see death and start laughing.


Her message has a point.
Drugs fuck people's lives up.
Don't try to spin this like the woman may have made the guy do drugs.
The guy could have acted like a man and fixed the problem himself.

I have no sympathy for hard drug users.
