I'm not being self righteous. All I'm saying is that I have seen addiction at first hand and it's not straightforward. I have sympathy for her and for her children.
OK
geuss i could have been overly defensive with the downtrodden, whom i spent a lifetime working with
had an expectation that the Geldofs may have had better access to the necessary facilities, but of course we know where drugs are concerned, there's no discrimination as to who it takes etc
here is an eg of what i had to handle ..
when you see a 23yo come out of jail,str to Kings X (Sydney) that night and ODs the exact same night of his release, after 5 years inside, plus you have to go and identify him at 3am, that being one case
incidentally he had no family of influence, in fact brought up by a beloved deceased GMother who had passed away while he was inside,and never been told till he got out .. i had to read/comfort him, his Aunties letter to him that afternoon
here i was initially trying to arrange for him to get back to her ..
Sympathy / Compassion
