Now she needs more and more and look what happened. She should have never had that first one. Sorry still don't feel bad. I feel bad for people who have a disease, or die in an accident. A drug overdose is just plain stupidity and she never should have started doing it period. Obviously they don't care enough about themselves or the people who love them, to not start doing it in the first place.
Let's just agree to disagree. We are both entitled to our opinions. |
So did my sister inlaw and she has a son who is a heroin addict. She had no idea he was using. He was a star athlete in high school, held a full time job, was engaged to be married~until he ran his car into the side of a cement mixer on his way to work after passing out behind the wheel of his car. He was missing for 4 days in a hospital while they searched for his family. We were all shocked to learn he had been using since high school. His mother is still devastation that he is unable to stay clean. It is not a reflection of her parenting skills. This is evident from his brother who is a very successful professional.
He was a good kid that made a bad choice while he was in his late teens. That choice will forever haunt him for the rest of his life. Addition is very powerful. It does not know things such as love or money and once you cross over it will forever hold you in its clutches. It is so much more than you seem to even understand about the power it hold.
Please never say never.
