I didn't anticipate continuing my blog regarding drugs. But, I read an interesting article this morning about Whitney Houston, which led me to ask a question about responsibility.
Chaka Khan was interviewed by Piers Morgan - she stated that someone should have been with Whitney to supervise her - to keep the riff-raff and dangerous people away.
My question is, when does it stop being every one's responsibility to take care of the people that have chosen to live a life of drugs.
I've questioned myself with the situation in my family, but I feel at some point people need to take responsibility for their choices. We can't go through life babysitting them... we can't fix someone that doesn't want fixing, and we surely can't be with them 24/7. Furthermore, if they die from drugs I can't place blame on someone else for their death. We need to stop playing the blame game... if people want to get high, they're going to get high.
I've had several people state yesterday that they feel myself and my family are responsible for my son's drug problems. Initially I was irritated by their comments and was allowing it to consume me. But I considered the source... druggies. You can't argue with drugs and ignorance.
