Thought for the day...

@Hypatia's Protege,

Happy Mother's Day!

Grandma yet?

Not that I'm aware of... but then given @Aleph(0)'s 'proclivities' - I may be so 1E77 times over (or IOW Eve herself o_O)

PS all whom are acquainted with the HP-3000 (especially running MPE V) will understand my choice of that particular 'exaggeration?'

Thanks for thinking of me @joeyd999 I'm alive and doing fine:)

Best regards
HP

In those sad and ugly cases, families should always leave a door open just in case ..
For the safety and health of others you just can't until they are no longer the drug addict demon. That door is closed until that demon is at least under control and it's on them to destroy that demon.

Agreed ... in some cases contact should be cut off completely until essential conditions are thoroughly, and verifiably met ... and then a constant follow up after that, depending on the severity of the case ... my point is that there should always be a way back to family, however tortuous it might be

Agree. I watched, my now dead older brother kick the addiction demon. What returned was a person that looked like my brother but he was a new member of the family.

Just for the record: I did, in fact, lay off my brother-in-law.

This is how I learned -- long ago -- to never, ever hire family.
Yeah ... although I've seen very successful cases of hiring among some families, the general rule should be as you say if one wants to have peace of mind during family reunions ...
