[quote=Anonymous]My best childhood friend, and it didn't end well.  Her own parents were functional alcoholics and borderline abusive.  We lost touch in our early 20s when I refused to enable her growing substance abuse (to be clear, I offered support and friendship, but wouldn't go drinking with her, or get in fights with her, or pick her up when she blacked out in strange apartments).  She struggled with addiction her whole life, and then with resulting logistical problems of parenting that come with addiction.  Her kids' father was abusive and ended up in jail on drug trafficking charges.  Next boyfriend was loving, but also struggled with addiction.  They were never able to get their lives together, and alienated most of her family through manipulation in service to their additions.  They ended up moving thousands of miles away from her family to live near the boyfriend's family.  A few years ago she was killed in a tragic accident caused by her addiction.  I think the kids ended up in foster care.  It still breaks my heart.  [/quote]
