I've seen firsthand the terrible consequences of drug abuse. My heart is with all who suffer from addiction and the terrible consequences for their families.

My children were born into this. They will always be the grandchildren of the President and First Lady of the United States.

My daughter, unfortunately, is ill, because drug addiction is an illness. She's been fighting it for years.

My children are the most important thing in my life.

My philosophy in life... is to prove myself to myself and not to others. I tried to teach my children that, that I have to respect myself, to prove to myself that I can do the best I can.

My heart was broken when I realized my daughter had a problem. I pray every day for her.

I never imagined my life would be the way that it has been for the past 30 years. I have had the best experiences a person can have-and the worst as well.
