Can you imagine what it must to been like for the parents? Druggies coming to your house to see your son, your son high all the time in your house, trying to pay your bills working while all this going on in your home, and the violent fights everyday putting you in fear of your own son. I wonder how many other people that our neiborhors, or co-workers are living threw the same situation right now, without us knowing about it?
shareI was on crack cocaine as a younger adult which gave my family a lot of grief and I was very much struggling to stay off that sh.t, but my addiction and urges moved me back. Got me arrested and convicted of theft, which will follow me the rest of my life. Stole money from my parents, they sent me to expensive rehabs and I would be Ok for awhile and then back on the crack.
Thankfully, I got away from that garbage by more or less moving to another country. I have not done that crap since 2001 and have no urges to do so. Still drink to intoxication several times a month and I use marijuana, love marijuana. But I wish I could go back as a teenager and change a lot of things. Also, I did not drink, use drugs or even smoke cigarettes until I went to college.
I saw Richie on Youtube just a few months ago, and frankly Richie was a spoiled, jerkoff prick. He did these weird 1970's drugs like "reds", what were "reds", speed? Richie would just go apecrap and this stuff. I knew his dad would shoot him in the end, and jeesh, Richie just deserved it. But there is another dude on here who states the story is too sympathetic to the father. Dunno.
