I lost my brother, father, and mother to their drug addictions. And they got what they deserved.

It is not nice to say that. But it is true. They were not victims of anyone or anything but their own stupid and selfish choices.

And I have no problem whatsoever with you saying what you said about Anne Heche because it is true. And more people should hold these fools to account for their actions instead of coddling and enabling them.

Feel the same way about my late father and mother alcoholics. Very sad that they are gone, but yes, they got what they deserved because they wouldn’t change their behavior.

Sorry for your loss and encouraged by your courage to stand up for what is right.

"I lost my brother, father, and mother to their drug addictions. And they got what they deserved."

I'm sorry you lost your family members to their addictions. Everyone in my family smoked. I never did. Both parents and my second oldest sister died of lung cancer. They knew the consequences of their smoking habit, but I'm not naive enough to think that even though I never smoked, that I won't die of cancer. My brother stopped smoking after his first heart attack at the age of 48, but he thought he knew better than the doctors, and stopped taking his prescribed diuretic medication (he didn't like having to pee on the job so often), and he died of a massive heart attack at home in front of his wife and kids at the age of 51. My oldest sister was an alcoholic and smoked as well. About the only positive thing that came out of her being institutionalized most of her adult life was that she was eventually forced to stop smoking. She lived to be 74. I'm 75 and living on borrowed time. I have my own health issues that none of them ever had. My only goal in life now, is not to outlive my two sons.
