My dad basically killed himself because he refused to stop drinking. That was his choice and his life. He has been dead for 17 years now. I still call him a drunk and have zero respect for him. I did not mourn him either. His choice!
My choice is to call it like I see it. She was a whore to the crack. Crackwhore!
Wow, too.
I cannot dare to put myself in your shoes. Nor can I judge you for what you say about your dad. Sorry to hear it.
My own dad was drinking and popping downers. One night I was home from college as my dad asked me to stay because he wanted to spend time with me as I had been gone for a while.
That night he wrote a farewell note and went to his girlfirend's house. He shot her and shot himself. I found them the next day.
I would like to blame him for me moving back to Los Angeles to try to "find" myself. Moreover, I would like to blame him for me running in the fast crowd and doing crack and cocaine. I don't. It was my poor choices back then but I thank God I pulled myself cold turkey out of my downward spiral and went on with my life without drugs.
Whitney was many things to many people. I cannot call her names because I, too, was deserving of the contempt of many people back then. I feel compassion for her family because the real tragedy is the suffering her daughter and other family members for the rest of their lives.
Ceied, you may feel that Whitney only deserves your contempt. That is your opinion and you are entitled to it much to my chagrin and others' on here on RC.
I say, again, may Whitney rest in peace.
