I think I know where you're coming from on this. My sister went through a really similar cycle minus the dope and my parents were really supportive and great to her when she realized she needed help. Accepting parents can be good to come by. Congratulations on doing great now though, it's really a shame to see good people fall deeply into the hard stuff.
