Values? She couldn’t have had many to get involved with drugs in the first place.

"Values? She couldn’t have had many to get involved with drugs in the first place."

If your position is that anyone who ever becomes involved with a addictive destructive poison does so because they don't have 'values' is beyond absurd. It is a 'bumper sticker response' to a complex situation. If your assertion is correct, why do virtually all churches offer counseling and help for their flock members with substance abuse problems? Christian believers who really never had any values (according to you).

I'm not sure whether to end this by citing the old "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone etc, or just tell you to take you and your value judgements down to the corner and have a few beers! Hey, it's a legal mind altering drug - so even if you kill someone by driving home drunk, at least you'll still have values!

Wrong. Sometimes good people make mistakes. Except you, of course.

Not that it matters whether or not she was a good mother beforehand. It's really not that important either way except as an object lesson in the fact that cocaine will turn you into a sadistic human being.
