Hi Nora, yes my nice friend who is leaving soon, (June), and I are discussing what to do. My sister in Canada is totally freaked out and wants us to do an intervention. She needs to go back there, and, get in a good Rehab for many months. I have heard that Oxycontin in as bad as heroin. Check this out...she even rented a safety deposit box to leave her meds in...? And her passport. It is so safe here, no one comes around. She is so scared at night, because she can only lock the doors and close the windows, but there are no extra bolts on the windows.

She has been here two weeks, and at first, all we saw was a needy insecure woman and tried to make her laugh and fed her and included her in everything. Then, she withdrew, and I left her alone. When I went to check after a few days as I was concerned, that is when she started screaming at me, the look in her eyes was like something I have never seen.


Her late Father, was a dear dear friend of mine for many years when I lived in Canada, one of the most wonderful people I even knew. She, was 14 when we all met and I was kind of like a Mom to her as her Mom was off somewhere. So, thoughI had not seen her if 8 or 9 years, I welcomed her here with open arms. I told her, I cannot take care of you, but if you feel you will heal over here then by all means. Now I am convinced she is an addict, Oxycontin, and of course she has been on anti depressants her whole life.

What a crappy deal yeah? But like I said, June has made me see that there are wonderful caring old dear friends, and THANK GOD she has been here to witness.

I am working on it. Someone told me to call her husband, (who is a nice normal guy), but honestly if he called her about it I forsee things flying. Ah what to do.She needs to leave.
