@ Official NRL, yes, there is a reason. Hate or nature are two big ones.

[@begonestink2956]

Same thing happened with my mother, except we were on the road with two of my other siblings. It was terrifying. I had to keep screaming to keep her awake and alert until we got home. She's recovered now, but it took until I was an adult for change to happen. I hope she's able to recover so she can be with him during his most important years instead of only having a mother in name. And please understand that although she shouldn't be absolved of the crime of putting her child in danger, addiction completely changes you. You're willing to throw everything away for a fix, whether that be the people closest to you, your job, your entire wealth and even your own life. It's not the same as someone who is sober.

[@markkukivinen2824]

The part that bothers me is that we are expected to be understanding of addiction with everything we know about drugs today, I find it very difficult to be sympathetic towards people who still choose to "try" drugs. A thousand bad decisions lead to this point, not just one.

[@begonestink2956]

@@markkukivinen2824 Unfortunately people may give into addiction either due to mental or physical pain, it's not something many people try "just for fun", in which case it's hard to be sympathetic. But because I lived with an addict, and I know why she had given into it, I've always been somewhat sympathetic towards addicts myself, despite the pain and trauma I went through because of her and her addiction. Just can't help it, but understand if other's find it hard to sympathize.

[@bflocket]

I don't see why they didn't charge her with DUI. She was asleep behind the wheel in a car in a McDonald's drive-thru (so the engine was running or recently running). You can get charged for DUI for having a reaction to a drug that doesn't generally "drastically impair" people, like a pain pill if you're not overusing them. It makes no sense to simply not charge her with anything while being like that with a kid in the car with her. She didn't take a pill for a migraine or bad back that day (you swallow those) - she shot up before driving her kid to get something to eat.
