@ Docton It's nice to hear stories of addiction having good endings. I'm actually trying not to judge any of it or put any specific meaning to anything in life. I try to just accept things and people as they are. It's not an easy change for anyone. It's inspiring to know families do sick with each other through the tough times. I've seen all kinds of addictions in my life, family and friends. It's hard to understand if you've never been through some. I guess in a sense we all have them in one way or the other. Facing things and being there for others is hard. Had a lot of confusion about that growing up. Raising kids and sticking by them through their changes isn't easy. Some even have to risk them distancing themselves. No easy answers that's for sure.
