Thank you for responding. It's every parents' nightmare to find themselves in the situation that Strollin'Johnny has. The pressures are enormous on the whole family as you watch a loved one destroy themselves and find that you are helpless to do anything about it except hang on by the skin of your teeth and be as supportive as your resilience will allow. It's nigh on impossible to help someone who doesn't want to be helped. For the same reason I wouldn't condemn the choices of those poor girls.

This and the post I made at 01:39PM are the only two that I have made on this thread by the way.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
