No one understands why she seems so troubled. She truly is a very beautiful girl. She's smart and can be capable but always seems to end up on the wrong path. We sent her to rehab in Nevada about 2 years ago. She did well there and when she got out she moved to Colorado and got a job. She met a guy there and then they moved to Nashville. My grandson went back to live with her there. After some time in Nashville her relationship with the guy she met in Colorado ended. She then wanted to move closer so she moved to Chattanooga and got a job here. This is where things started to fall apart again. Old "friends" and old habits. Now she has no job, no license, no car, and trouble with the law. Roughly 11-12 years ago she was crushed between her Jeep and a car. It broke her pelvis in three places, she has a bolt that spans the width of her pelvis holding it all together. She was bedridden or in a wheel chair while she recuperated. Pain killers where commonly prescribed and I believe it's what lead her down this seemingly inescapable path. Edit: I got the timeline for her accident wrong. It must have been 2013 cause it was shortly after I got back from Germany. |

These threads make it difficult for me to complain about the crap in my life. By comparison to some, I am blessed. All of it becomes trivial when lives are in the balance.
I hope all of you can overcome and rise above and that the remainder of the year makes up for the start of the year. |

Well sure looks like 2020 is handing out shit sammiches so far don't it...
I think I remember Jet talking about the rehabs and family stress a couple years ago, wish it'd clear up for your family man. Been around some hard core drunks and drug users overthe years and It wasn't fun, eventually cut the cord to them all. It's a hard thing to do cutting a close family member loose or even just a friend, I burned alot of bridges and most of the family hasn't talked to me in decades over it. Nothing good has happened here either, between doggo being sick and me I'm ready for February. Friend that damaged his eye is pretty much shit out of luck as vision hasn't came back and doesn't look like it wil so he's down an eye now. |

It's taking its toll on us. It does give me an excuse for my cynicism though.
I got the timeline on when she was crushed by her own Jeep wrong. It must have been 2013 when It happened cause it was not long after I got back from Germany. |

My youngest brother has had his struggles as well, it is very hard to watch someone go through that.

I've been researching Narcan today. I got to get some to have on hand. You just don't know how close she was to dead. The cops and Dr. told us.
