Already the first semester of high school changed slightly.

Isak was a sporty and fun-loving guy, came from a safe home and wanted to be a security guard.

But suddenly money, telephones and expensive things started to disappear at home and Isak, who often stayed in town after school, could not be found.

In December 2017, his mother Christina Suljov confronted him, and he tested positive for cannabis.

- Whatever you suspect, you still hope that it is a phase, that it is something else.

I was completely broken, she says.

This was followed by a year of regular urine tests, conversations with the social services and with the youth clinic and school.

For a few weeks he tested negative and ran the school.

They were followed by periods where Isak fell back into addiction again, got caught for shoplifting and went to school.

"Family arrest"

In the end, the family decided to have their son in "family custody" at home, as Christina calls it.

Isaac was not allowed to leave the house without a family member accompanying him.

She emptied pockets and went through web history.

She describes it as everyone around Isak fighting the drugs, everyone knew.

Still, he somehow managed to get hold of tablets.

When he was at home and drug-free for a period, he was finally allowed to go and visit friends of the family in Västergötland.

But Christina began to suspect that something was wrong when Isak started sending many text messages in a row.

- It was something we learned was a sign that he was affected so I called and checked if everything was okay, but I was told that everything was fine.

Mixed drugs

But the next morning Isaac does not wake up.

It turns out that he has taken a mixture of the morphine drug Tramadol, benzodiazipines and an antispasmodic epilepsy medicine he found at the family's home in a cupboard.

He stops breathing in his sleep and his heart stops beating.

His death occurs just over a year after the first time he tested positive for drugs.

Isaac was diagnosed with a mild form of ADHD, had a stormy mood and had difficulty controlling his impulses.

Christina believes that his addiction was partly about self-medication.

And she thinks that is the case with many young people who take drugs today.

- This was not a party addiction, Isak has not hung out in town in the evenings and taken drugs.

This is something they do to cope with their everyday lives, she says.

The adult world must put pressure

The adult world must realize how easy it is for young people to get hold of drugs today, she thinks, and society must learn to meet addicted young people where they are, and dare to put pressure:

- What is important is that we must see that this only overwhelms us.

And young people do not think it is dangerous.
