Winnipeg mother speaks out after her daughter died amid a meth addiction
Her mother, Corinne Siddle, said growing up Stephanie was a happy-go-lucky girl, who loved life and loved doing activities such as figure skating, playing piano and violin, as well as baseball and soccer.
“Obviously she was seeking out the right help to deal with, she called them the demons in her head, which she called them that often,” Corinne said. “She just felt there was no way of getting off it because once she started taking it she was so sick when she went into withdrawal,” she said. “So my thought would be: why would she be getting that money?” she said, noting she didn’t know her daughter was receiving CERB until after her death.“I would think if you put the extra money with someone that has a tendency to have addiction then the money would probably go towards something in a negative way,” she said.“When you’ve got mental illness and this whole mentality of her being so sick with this COVID, right? With COVID being around, it certainly didn’t help,” she said.
