Now part two. The dead lad's addict mom, my ex-sister-in-law, was prescribed pills by an idiot doctor, to get through her son's funeral.

She was high and drunk and driving because her idiot parents, who did not recognize opiate abuse earlier (note that this thread is in the Parenting section), gave her car keys.

Remarkably, she managed to drive to her destination, but fell getting out of the car. Because her 50-year-old body has suffered 30 years of drug and alcohol abuse, it is now equivalent to the frame of an 80-year-old. So she took head, neck and back injuries in the fall. While in the hospital for all that, she contracted pneumonia, and so she is now in intensive care and may die.

If she lives through this, she will surely die within a year, of something similar.

There is no need for sympathy here friends, it is all used up. Learn the lessons instead. If you are parents, love your children, never abuse them, either physically or, as is the case here, mentally. Her parents were emotional abusers who crushed this woman's soul and so this is the result.

And if you, yourself, have been crushed, know it is not your fault, know that you can get healthy, it is possible, and seek therapy before it comes to this pathetic result.
