There are plenty of parenting blogs floating around on the
internet, but few have as touchy a subject as “An Addict in Our Son’s
Bedroom.” Started in January 2009, An Addict in our Son’s Bedroom aims
to chronicle the lives of two parents trying to help out their son – a
drug addict. While the blog focuses on the parents’ struggle to raise
their troubled child, there are also posts centered around their own
lives and activities, painting a picture of their personalities and
what they do when parenting is not the primary focus. These posts
often lend a happy tone to an otherwise somber blog about personal
development.
The content  of the blog draws you in right from the interesting
and mysterious titles and keeps you enthralled till the very last
word. There is a lot of emotional weight in each post, and you can
honestly connect with the authors. Subtle usage of paragraph breaks,
bold and italic font, and varying sentence structure make this blog a
really great read. Every post has some lesson or deep feeling to
share, and every post is completely engaging.
The blog has a lightweight, innocent looking blue blogger theme,
with text that makes it extremely easy to read. There aren’t a lot of
frills aside from the sidebar widgets, which can feel a little
crowded. Once you make your way past the widgets, you find links to
popular posts, useful links, an archive, a blog roll, and, all the way
at the bottom, some about information.
This blog gets a 4/5 for having compelling content that really
draws the readers into the bloggers’ lives. The design enhances the
content and makes it easier to read, and the overall presentation is
spectacular. If you want to read something well-written that connects
with its audience, you have to check out An Addict in Our Son’s
Bedroom.
