His marriage fell apart as his addiction to crack cocaine deepened. The Times would like to speak with families shaken by a loved one\u2019s drug addiction.<\/p>\n

Hunter Biden, the president\u2019s son, is being tried in federal court for falsely claiming on a gun purchase application that he did not use illicit drugs. Testimony from his ex-wife<\/a> and former girlfriends describe his drug-fueled temper; his search for his dealer on the streets; his large cash withdrawals from the bank.<\/p>\n

Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau who dated him during the fall of 2018 when the gun purchase took place, spoke of his erratic behavior, his possession of rocks<\/a> of crack cocaine \u201cthe size of Ping-Pong balls, or bigger, maybe\u201d and how she frantically urged him to go to rehab. She, like Mr. Biden, is in recovery.<\/p>\n

I write about addiction for The New York Times and have spoken with countless families who have shared wrenching experiences. I\u2019m working on an article about how the Bidens\u2019 addiction saga is reverberating for families who are also grappling with America\u2019s deadly addiction crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To better understand evolving public views toward addiction, I would like to hear your stories. I\u2019ll read each response and reach out if I\u2019d like to learn more.
