What is Cher and Elijah Blue Allman's relationship like?
Cher has opened up about their family’s history of drug abuse in the past. “You know, I loved him, but I didn’t really want Elijah around him alone,” Cher admitted to Vanity Fair about her marriage to Gregg. “It’s hard finding a drug addict who is also going to be a father.”
In 2014, Elijah talked to Entertainment Tonight about his own experiences. “I started with drugs around the same time that we all did, around eleven. I mean it’s just what you did, it’s just what everybody did,”
“I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and, that’s when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,” he said. “[Heroin] kind of saved me … If I didn’t have that at that point, I don’t know what I would have done …You may jump off a bridge. If you can only just go through that time period and live through it and then get help.”
“I did have some close calls and some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality … I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that. Even though you think that in your mind, of course the wrong things can happen,” he said. “The wrong combination of things can happen and you can just slip into the abyss. I knew it was wrong and I knew that I was very unsatisfied with life at that point.”
