What a good person your friend is. The administrator at my work is raising her grandson due to her daughters drug use. I see her undergoing all the issues I did when my kids where little (getting to day care on time, every little errand taking longer when you have to bring a young child, sick days, etc) and she is a single grandparent, so she has no help. Every time her daughter enters yet another treatment, her Mother is so hopeful, and every time (so far anyway) it has not worked out. I wish your friend the best.
