I just remember the horror and sadness I felt for both the parents and kids in that situation...

with full blown drug addiction...if i had a kid at the time i would never have let them see that (well obviously the kid would see me but you know what i mean...i wouldn't whip out a line in front of them), but i would tell them when they were older but i don't really think you can learn from other people's mistakes, although i would do my best to try and keep them from making the same mistakes i've made because no one wants to see that happen to their children, but i would be supportive and understanding should they ever find themselves in a similar position, because i think that's the only thing you can really do.
