Not a surprise. Was quite obvious despite some claiming otherwise

Feel so sorry for her kids.

Why she would've even gone near it to begin with I can't fathom, after her mother. But I can't fathom being brought up in that kind of circle and lifestyle anyway.

I will never understand the 'she went through it so thats why she did it' type thinking. Its the same when parents abuse their kids because they were abused...why on earth would you want your own kids to go through what you have been through...you would think it would make you even less likely to do it.

billy connolly was abused and he turned out to be one of the greatest people britain has ever produced. alas these days we seem to create victim mentality rather than aspiring to something far greater like the big yin!!!

I don't pretend to understand and I do get angry that people bring children into this world and then mess them up, leading to future generations doing the same.

Intelligence, knowledge, resources and support don't seem to be enough to stop people acting in a self destructive way. Maybe we're all a mess in some way or another and should be pitied if we can't cope - but I can't help feeling at some point someone should actually have an expectation that others take some responsibility for themselves.

this is gonna get really serious, probably too serious for this ****ing forum, but my brother is a heroin addict, and I know he is gonna die, it's just a matter of when. i just hope he knows that he is loved when it finally ends. i hope the feeling is great, and he knows FOR SURE that he is loved.

I know life is short for everyone, and honestly, if i live a hundred years, i don't care, i just want to know that i am loved in the end.

my brother is loved, and if he dies tomorrow that's all that matters to me, that he knows that I loved him.

I hope Peaches knew that she was loved when she died.

It may be a difficult disease to cure but it's a preventable disease.
There's a personal choice made when you start on the path - or are people literally totally helpless in what they do and don't do?

Yes, I'm sorry if I seem a bit harsh.

I've had close family members die of addiction to damaging substances (tobacco and alcohol) and I do feel it's the families that suffer more in some ways (maybe I'm wrong).

I feel both sad and angry about it and I guess that shows in my need to feel that people do need to take some responsibility.

Best Wishes.

exactly. peaches was not breaking into people's houses, or assaulting people, robbing people, mugging people. she was not selling her body. she was just an addict. and most people with this disease are not the stereotype.
