Yes, it's started. And I have studied addiction extensivly for the last 10 years. Like I said, the actions of her parents go beyond addiction.

My nephew is an addict. (Clean for 8 months and doing great!) He did some pretty lousy things - but does not have the propensity for violence that these other people do. He lives with me and the help he gives me is invaulable. He is a wonderful human being - always was - even at his low points. Another family member has been clean for a little over 2 years, got her degree in business, real estate licence, and has regained custody of her 3 children.

My daughter will also be taught about addiction - the same way my son's were (whose father, uncle, grandfather were also addicts). If it were only addiction on the her parents part I could deal with it a lot better - but, they are dangerous criminals. Maybe drug addiction is a part of what they do or are, but not the largest part.

Many addicts are criminals - mainly to support their habbit - but (most of) the ones I know - even at their worst - drew the line at the type of violence the Arian Brotherhood has a propensity to inflict. AB is no longer just about the "white supremecy thing." They work hand in glove with the Mexican Mafia in distribution of the Meth that comes accros the border. AB is about violence, death.
