I think in these kinds of familial situations, it comes down to an individual's temperament, resilience, ability to cope, and sense of self worth. Climbing out of generational abuse/addiction is extremely difficult, regardless of socioeconomic background. A support system is incredibly important, but it's one prong of a success story. It sounds like Rebecca's adoptive parents are the epitomy of loving and supportive, yet somehow it wasn't enough for Rebecca and her sister. It sounds like they were both struggling before reconnecting with their bio-mom. Some people survive and thrive, others do not.
My heart aches for their adoptive parents, the young children left behind (also adopted), and even Rebecca's sister, who must live with the devastation left in the wake of this senseless tragedy.
