Yes, Lauri Waring Peterson leads a privileged life, but not all is perfect.
Lauri Waring Peterson reveals that 45 days after coming out of rehab, her son, Josh, has slipped back to his old ways of drug use. He's been picked up for possession and possible intent to sell. It's tearing Lauri up because she finally realizes the depth of Josh's illness and just how helpless she is – "I can't fix Josh, I can love and support him when he recovers, but I can't fix him." Although difficult, Lauri Waring Peterson admits that it's time for her to pull back.
These days Lauri Waring Peterson is spending more time with her other kids and is focused on trying to be a good mom and step-mom.
