re: Complicated situation. Advice appreciated. Will try to be brief.

update

pretty sure this thread is almost finished unless something newsworthy happens. Thought I'd throw in a rough timeline of events since some of the posts are so far off - no biggie - you didn't want to read the thread.

Been piecing events of the last 5 years together to try and make sense of this.


2009/2010 - met this woman at work; casual friendship develops over next 2 years


Fastforward to 2012 - she's been diagnosed with a serious illness - had 2 surgeries - been fighting for 1 year to get back to work in a different position she can handle - no luck. Her work disability has run out. She's having problems paying rent, buying kids stuff, etc. This is pretty much fact from conversations.

Speculation: I'm thinking that around 2012 she possibly became addicted to pain pills. She hooked up with loser boyfriend who may have been supplying her with pain meds. May have got her hooked on other drugs too.

Winter 2013 - Her life is in a full blown shitnami by this point - possibly addicted to pain pills, evicted from one residence. Dad dies of cancer and daugher is killed in 4 wheeler accident within 4 months. Boyfriend is arrested.

Currently: Just guessing at this point she's in full blown depression/addiction state and possibly spiraling out of control.

This is about the only scenario that makes sense to me - may be wrong, but it fits.
