A Father's Love For His Drug-Addicted Son

Drug addiction is a devastating disease that often tears apart friendships and relationships with loved ones; and nothing is more painful for a father than having to witness his own child spiral uncontrollably into a life of substance abuse and destructive behavior. Larry talks with David Sheff, author of "Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction," a personal account of a father's desperate hope to rescue his child from drug addiction. Also joining the conversation is Nic Sheff, David's son, and author of "Tweak: Growing Up On Methamphetamines."
