Then there are the "innocent bystanders" affected by the addicts habit.
I have a family member that was an Oxycontin addict, and she recently gave birth, and now the baby has to go through Oxycontin withdrawal.
I want to scream. It's bad enough that she wanted to trash her body, ruin any and all relations with the family, but she didn't give a damn about the baby.
The topping on this cake from hell is that she has 2 other daughters that had to live with her habit, her lies and her abuse.
She will obviously loose them to her ex, who wants to move to Florida, so this is shaping up to be one heck of a Christmas.
All I can do is keep thinking positive.
