It took one choice to throw Victoria Seed's life into turmoil
Victoria Seed walked into the girls’ changing rooms, grabbed her gym bag and started getting dressed into her school uniform.“Do you want to try some of this?” she asked Victoria, opening her palm to reveal a tab of LSD.Victoria had never tried drugs before. A top pupil, the 15-year-old was a quiet child and struggled with confidence.
“Peer pressure doesn’t mean you’re getting it forced down your neck or forced to buy it. It just means as a young person you’re getting that external pressure where you don’t want to say no.A few days later, Victoria, now aged 45, got pulled into her deputy head teacher’s office. “All hell broke loose,” she added. “The expulsion was really hard to manage. When you’re 15, you think you’re a grown up but you’re not. It was a case of wrong place wrong time.”
“I had to appeal to get back in,” Victoria added. “The reason we got back into school was because we weren’t dealing drugs. In 2016, the mum set up her own service, The Vesta Approach, helping women living with a loved one's addiction live happy and peaceful lives. “That’s what I do now and I love the work. As a result of all that pain, I’ve turned it into a powerful experience.
