you may be right,

I’ll have to tread carefully

a few people I spoke to think that maybe the kids just tolerate it because they don’t want to upset their mum,

and then I confront the problem that they are trying to pretend isn’t there, so perhaps its not that they don’t care they just don’t want to face it.

as for her daughter doing drugs with her, perhaps that is just a good way of getting her mums attention so she thinks she has the best bond ever now as deep down she must know that drugs always came first, so by now bonding over them makes her feel like she finally has her mums attention.

this may be way of the mark, one can only make observations and try and imagine what causes people to behave in such bizarre ways.

isn’t it quite common for many issues to repeat themselves, like people who have been abused go on to be abuser, etc, so often people who have drug addict or alcoholic parents, rather than staying away from it because they see the negative , instead follow the same path.

its mad but seems all to normal.

and I come from a close family where my parents are still married 40+ years later, neither have any addictions etc and we all still talk to each other and have never blanked anyone out of our lives, so I therefore have been given a fairer chance not to follow negative footsteps, and also find it so hard to understand when people can act so hateful to the ones they claim to love.
