““We did good raising our kids and Tanya even officially adopted Karisten before we moved to California and was listed on her birth certificate since my sperm catcher wanted nothing to do with K, and then allegedly taught her to blow Zannies when they met and she branded my daughter with Gawd awful scratch tattoos”
Um..We did good? Blowing “Zannies” (urban dictionary says Zanax)and getting scratch tats is good parenting? I’m sorry, and certainly not saying anyone deserved this, but it sound like the environment was incredibly permissive.

Back in the 80’s and into the 90’s doctors, more so shrinks were writing Rx’s for Xanax like it was Pez. It was nothing to get a bottle of those. Was not till around 2000 they quit because people were becoming so addicted to oxycontin et al.
As for the parenting, yes not every parent makes good choices and often it comes back to bite you in the ass. Even the most well meaning parents make bad decisions. Maybe this family needs to re-think their values for their past decisions have cost them too much.
They still are. Estranged DIL is Xanax hooked and she uses MMJ on top of it. On Disability, as panic attacks. Only took her 8 months to get it. Took the heart Transplant patient in my SS class 4 yrs. After he had his transplant and was stable he went back to a less physical job.
Where as the Xanax hooked DIL will always be hooked and on disability out of taxpayers pockets.
