It's hard for people like you and me to understand why addicts are addicted, especially addicts that we were raised by/grew up with. I ask the same questions every day, they usually start with what if, or why cant they...
The conclusion i've come up with is that they are weak people. People like you and I who have grown up with addiction have grown stronger from our loved ones addictions. We know the trouble and years of hurt that substance abuse can cause so just being a witness to what these people due to themselves (and to us) is what makes us stronger than they will ever be.
I know what she means, its different for people who've lived with family all their life who have issues with the stuff, we become stronger because of it. and its not to say that someone is weak, just some people are more suceptable to addiction than others. I for one, have almost grown a thick skin where the sheer thought of being addicted to anything repulses me just because I've seen and delt with so much of it.
if addiction isnt weakness, i don't know what is. It prevents you from doing the things you love and you almost always hurt the people you love over an irrational dependency.
"but you know what? if you watch your fucking sister die, due to a seizure that may have potentially been caused by years of drug and alcohol abuse wouldn't that tend to make you think? apparently not."
The problem with that is this:
"that may have potentially been caused by"
Nothing in an addicts life is grey. It is either black, or white. There are no maybe's or might have been's. It either was or wasn't.
I hope for the children's sake, that this is a true attempt at sobriety.
yeah theres a grey area now, but it doesn't change the fact that he watched his sister die and how bad it tore apart his mother, her children, and himself. the fact that he potentially exposed his children to the same thing, and his mother to potentially burying both children is heartless. addict or not
