Whitney & Bobby divorcing

[Jules]

I realize this was a long time ago, but I wonder if today they would still try to drag an ex spouse into the abuser's recovery. It seems risky. I just don't get it. It's not marriage counseling after all....

Good for you for steering clear - I would have done the same thing.

I think it probably had more to do with the fact that we had a child. Once he realized that I had a protective order for him to stay away from us, his tone changed.

I have no idea how they would handle things in these times.

Jules, I was so into your post and my thoughts that I didn't say how much I admire you for handling everything like you did. I am just so sorry that you had to go through the whole ordeal. I can tell from your posts that you are a happy, well adjusted person so that tells me that everything turned out good for you. I am glad.

Michelle, My heart goes out to you. Terribly sad about both your grandfather and your father. Two lives lost and so much hurt because of drugs. (((hugs)))

Thanks.....

That's exactly what I told the counselor too. I hadn't been a part of his life in a few years and had no intention of being sucked back in.

The counselor did try to call a few more times, but I let the machine pick up.

You were dodging them huh? I would too, lol...

Jean, what a very sweet thing to say. Thank you so much. I went through a rough time back then, but luckily was not still married to him at the time of his downfall. If I was, you'd have probably read about me in the 'crimes' forum. :innocent:

Jules your crazy, lol.....Its hard dealing with an addict, there have been times I really wanted to hurt my Uncle, but didnt.He would treat my grandparents like crap and now they are dead and he is all alone and I wonder how he is making it, without them supporting him he has nothing now. He said he started using because when he was 16 he met a guy at the basketball court that gave him some crack to smoke and its been down hill since then, thats sad. He is 38 now, lives with my other uncle barely keeps a job, lost his car and so on.....Its a bad scene.

Yep, all the way outta town! My daughter and I moved back up north to my parents and I went back to school. I needed a change of scenery and to be able to put some distance in things. I was dating my now husband then and we were kind of at a stand still in our relationship. I was afraid to get married again. I moved home for about a year, came back, and we were married the following year. We've been together almost 15 years and I love him dearly.

LOL! The reason I said that is because he came to my house one night (I'd had my number changed so he couldn't call me) and was all messed up. I was home with my daughter - who was asleep. I didn't know who was there, but was expecting my hubby (boyfriend then). I opened the door a crack (had a chain on it) and saw him standing there. His eyes were wild and I will never forget the look in them. He was demanding to be let in to see his daughter. I said no and he kicked in my door. He had me pinned up against the wall when my hubby and his brother drove up. They both got out of the car and ran in and my ex left. That is actually the last time I've seen him. God only knows what would have happened if my hubby and his brother hadn't shown up when they did. I have no doubt he could have seriously hurt me, if not killed me. Luckily my daighter slept through everything.

He could have killed you, My father and Mother divorced when I was 1, and she remarried to my stepdad who I call dad, he raised me. My father was never around due to drugs ect. But anyway he did that to my mom one time, he came to our house I was like 8 and its was very scary he would be stoned and want to see me, and he never called any other time. My mother would not let him see me. Unfortunatly I never was close to him until the year before he died and I think he needed to make "peace" with me because all those years he missed. But he could have hurt somebody as well. My stepdad was working one night and me and my mom and 2 younger brothers were home and it was late and my real father came over and threw a snowball threw our living room bay window and my mom thought someone shot at us, we called the cops and she was crying it was very scary, they never found anything because the snowball melted. We didnt find out it was him until after he died and my stepmom told me, how would she have known that. People do mean things when they are high.

oh my god. why does anyone really give a d*mn? if they are so gross, disgusting and pathetic, why does anyone even bother to give them any attention, or watch their show at all...? i can think of a zillion things i'd rather be doing. the best thing to do with these celebrity idiots is just IGNORE THEM, and eventually they will go away.

Thanks new - me too.

Hey Jules!

In AR, programs are sorely lacking. Heck, the day after Hurricane Katrina struck, I was going over (walking) to my other BIL's when he lived a block over from us, and I managed to walk right into a major drug bust. The FBI, the DEA, and local LE were all over the place with guns. Heck, I didn't realize what was going on, until I had a second to process the scene. All of the people they busted are out, waiting for a place to go into rehab. Now, they are back to dealing, I can tell by the amount of traffic. My kids are not allowed over on that block. Another bust should be coming any time. (It couldn't happen too soon for me!)

Her picture is at the top of the article.


Pitiful ... haggard singer

SUPERSTAR Whitney Houston has spiralled into a world of squalor and degradation on deadly crack — as the shocking pictures in today's Sun newspaper reveal.

It shows the disgusting mess in the singer’s bathroom after a drug binge.

Drug paraphernalia including a crack-smoking pipe, rolling papers, cocaine-caked spoons and cigarette ends are strewn across the surface tops.

But Whitney, 42, no longer cares.

Now she is a paranoid wreck hopelessly hooked on crack.

Drugs have devastated her once-famous beauty.

She is haggard, with dark circles under her eyes and a deranged look on her face.

Yikes! Whitney looks awfully thin and gaunt. Yes, she does have the look of an addict. I was hoping that all of the addiction stories were just hype. I guess that's not the case. Is her husband, Bobby, also a drug user and addict??

The reason that I'm skeptical about severe drug use in the home is that they have a daughter that hasn't been removed, right??

 

[Anngelique]

They're saying that Whitney is now broke to add to all her other troubles and if the article her sister-in-law told has even 50% truth to it then they bet Child Protective Services might take her daughter for good. Here's a really, really good article about Whitney's woes.

Wow.... really sad. Thanks for posting that. Such a shame.

I don't think she'll be able to pull herself out of this mess....

It is horrible. I feel really bad for her. But then again... she has to own up to responsibility.

Very true...

Reading that article, I have to wonder if the 'Brown family' kept her messed up on drugs in an effort to get at her money. Perhaps off drugs she wouldn't be as easily persuaded to help them out.

I used to be such a fan of hers years ago - what trash she turned into. I thought she had - by far - the best voice out of Mariah, Madonna, etc...

I remember when I was in 5th grade when we finished our school year we did a play at the end and used "The Greatest Love of All" as our ending song and we all loved whitney, its such a shame....
