Absolutely 100% correct. Her mom is a former heroine addict, and both her parents were major druggies years ago... I told her the only difference between then and now is they've found a new drug. This girl is pretty overweight, always says she wants to lose weight but packs on the pounds like no other. I was cleaning out her car one day and I found several empty boxes of Philadelphia Cream Cheese snack bars in her car, complete with a MONSTER size empty box of See's Candy, and about 5 empty bags of McDonalds complete with like 4 burger wrappers per bag. I simply asked her about where all this food came from, and went, and she burst into tears and started yelling and screaming at me about how I shouldn't lecture her about what she eats. So I guess I should just let her gorge herself to death, I suppose.

Her parents have basically forced her to become religious, because they think this is the way to be. They basically excommunicated me from their family when they found out what I do for a living, and tried to force her to do the same. I put a lot of blame on them for fucking up our relationship, but in retrospect I don't think I could live with the problems she's displayed. I can't stand living with someone with a dependence, and she has many. It just drove me insane. She was even dependent on me the whole time we were together, and would cry for hours upon hours if I questioned her religion or eating habits, or even encouraged her to get a better job, or stop her out of control spending. It was just one drama after another.
