Opioids cost me my 20 year marriage.
But, who cares about a,’minor statistic’ like me when there is MONEY to be made by Big Pharma?
Big Pharma or as I like to say the “pharmaceutical industrial complex” obviously rules congress.
Almost $500,000,000,000 per year on pills alone provides them some major money to rent politicians with.
Opiods did not cost your marriage,
addiction cost your marriage.
Some people would walk away from a suitcase of drugs.
Who cares about a silly thing like "individual responsibility" when there's a boogeyman like Big Pharma to scapegoat instead?
An individual's behavior cost you your 20 year marriage. Alcohol costs untold thousands of people their marriages, their health and their lives every year.
Let's Prohibit it! That'll fix everything.
Look, I don't mean to be callous to your experience. But scapegoating is simply not a valid way to avoid placing responsibility on individuals for their choices.
I'm sure you loved your husband very much. It seems likely to me that you're averse to placing any blame on him, perhaps because of your love for him.
But we don't need a Tyrannical Nanny State.
I'm sorry for your pain. God Bless.
Having seen many of your posts over a long timespan I've come to have great respect for you.However,I must ask you this:
If your marriage was destroyed by your husband having hit a tree at 70MPH while in a 30MPH zone would that have been the tree's fault,Ford Motor Company's fault,or his fault?
Just askin'
Yes,having worked in health care for 25 years I have a more detailed response...which can wait for now
People use opioids all the time without getting divorced.
