Perhaps not…
I did spend a few years in my mid 20's teaching HS in a fairly depressed community. I never saw a parent OD, but I did teach about 6 kids whose parent OD. Wow.
It's been 20 years since then, and I just had heard over the holidays that one of those kids OD too. Brutal cycle to break, I guess.
Listen…I get it. I think that Hoffman failed as a father. You don't. You think I am arrogant and sanctimonious in expressing that thought. I feel that most of the replies to my posts have been arrogant and sanctimonious in telling me I am arrogant and sanctimonious. It's all good…no worries.
