Not just trauma but plenty of genetic disorders (like depression) can also be at the root, usually untreated.

If your struggling with a drug problem right now, just a reminder, you are cared about, at least by me, and im sure others!

My alcoholic father never beat me when he was sober. Taking the drug away from the abuser is more compassionate than claiming the victims lack compassion. We are not laughing. We just understand the situation better.

@Meachamus_Prime Huh? did someone claim the victim lacked compassion or was that a general statement?

@Meachamus_Prime I'm confused, how does laughing at the victim show that the victim lacks compassion?

@freemo

The victims are the people who the drug abuser abused.

The victim is NOT the drug abuser.

@Meachamus_Prime Both are victims of different things. Victimhood is hardly mutually exclusive. One generation's victim often becomes the abuser as well as a consequence of that victimhood creating more victims.
