yeh it sure does seem like that regarding drug bonds,
I think its because if someone else is doing it too it makes it easier for them to carry on lying to themselves that it isnt a problem.
a while ago she had a friend that lived near by that was doing ketamine all the time,
and I think she liked being around her as it made her own addiction seem less of a big deal, as this ketamine girl was looking really bad, like having to wear nappies etc because ketamine really messes with peoples bladders or something.
so it certainly seemed lke her having someone else around like that was a very negative influence.
the kids have spent their whole lives exposed to drugs.
funny enough when I met her and her son would have been 8 back then, he thought I looked like a stoner, he was surprised to learn I wasn’t a stoner
at the time I was obviously surprised an 8 year old knowing what that is, but that was all they ever knew. being surrounded by a mum and all her drug using friends and ex partners etc.
that’s the funny thing, I do look like a stoner, with long hair etc and a bit scruffy, yet it couldn’t be further from the truth, I could hardly be more anti drugs.
