| I think when someone is strung out on drugs and he or she is an adult, there is little the family can do unless the person is an imminent danger. As for Kurt, I was told that the people in the tough love intervention process were not the kind of support group one would need when going through the recovery process. His wife, Courtney, was also a heroin addict, his best friend and band member was an alcoholic, and his mom had alcohol related problems. I know his aunt told the mother to tell Kurt that he needed more than mental and physical help as he needed spiritual help. Mari didn't know if that message ever got to him since her sister isn't keep on religious views. The drug counselor in the intervention supposedly over dosed himself and died the following year after Kurt's death. The last time Mari heard anything from Kurt himself is when he called after his daughter was born. But he was just out of rehab and fairly sober. I know there is a book somewhere that has writings that he kept. I am not sure if it is a journal or not. I would like to find it for purposes of the paper. After mid-terms, I will see what I can find.
Also, remember, Courtney's family isn't doing too good either. I think her family has many problems. I was told, a long time ago, that those grandparents are practicaly raising the little girl. |
