I'd forgotten Tom Hanks had an earlier marriage.

Chet Hank's has the awful drug history. He's been in and out of rehab more times than I can remember. I think he's more likely who this about. I hope he gets his sh*t together soon

Don't make the family feel guilty or responsible for the actions of the addict. You can't help someone who doesn't feel they need it.

**although I wouldn't class him as B list. Hmm not sure now

Unfortunately, mental illness does runs through family trees and because of the stigma most people affected by mental illness will self medicate to avoid being labeled as mentally ill.
However this is, get help before it is too late!

david said...

Oh!
Also, I have a gut feeling I have developed while being through this process with my daughter, that most people who are creative suffer from mental illness the most. (Sorry, no statistics to back up my gut feeling.)

I think that's a valid observation. My eldest granddaughter is a heroin addict and we're not keeping it secret. That just perpetuates bad feelings. Being a heroin addict who's working on recovery isn't shameful.

David Arquette?

That's so tough. I'm glad she has a strong family presence around her.

I have a tween, and drugs scare the shit out of me. I tell him all the time that marijuana is not a safe drug. (Had a high school boyfriend who smoked every day, and became suicidal. Was it the pot? No idea. But I don't think it helped. And he went from pot to coke just likethat.)

You're lying to your child. Pot is NOT dangerous (only in the sense that it could get you in trouble legally). His friend who smoked marijuana every day and committed suicide? WAKE UP, he was smoking to numb himself of whatever pain caused him to take his life. It's perfectly understandable to warn your tween of the dangers of drug use, but don't lie. He WILL find out the truth and just think you're a liar. Warn him of the dangers of coke, heroin, ecstasy, etc. But don't sway him too far away from marijuana, or he'll end up drinking instead. Teens ARE going to experiment, and trust me, it's better if it's marijuana and not alcohol. How many teenagers of died from alcohol versus marijuana????

Anyway, this post is slightly old, so I hope you do read this just so it gives you a little bit of perspective. Never lie to your kids.
