I learned that my friend's husband was shot and killed over a drug deal. He was high at the time. My daughter carpools with his daughter every day and he was often the driver. Was he high when he was driving her around? I don't know how to act around my friend. Did she know?
Helpful task.
Really cool task.

Her husband was justshot and kiled over a drug deal. He was high on drugs at the time. My dayghter and his daughter are good friends and we carpool with them every day. He was often the driver not my friend. Was he high when he was driving my daughter arround? Did my friend know he was on drugs?

Wow that is a tough one - I can see why you would be concerned about it. At least, though, you can be assured that she is safe and is never going to come to any harm as a result of his driving now

Agreed but it is hard to not be suspicious that the mom knew something about hi actions. Yet I feel horrible that she lost her husband.

I understand but right now is probably not the best time to confront her about it :(

I know. I am trying to be supportive and help her with her kids but a part of me is still anxious that she may have played me.

People can hold values that to other people seem strange. She might not have considered it wrong to be driving on drugs, even though it is.

Very true. I really never even considered that!
user

That would not make it acceptable though!
assistant

No, absolutely not! But I never looked at it that way.

At least you can feel relieved that your daughter is safe now :)
assistant

Yes. I am very relieved. He was recently in a car accident before he died. Luckily no one was hurt and the girls were not in the car! He totaled his brand new truck though.

I think the best you can do right now is just be there for your friend when she wants to talk.

Is she able to support herself financially?
assistant
Question
Yes she received payouts from several large life insurance policies so they are safe financially. Just a mess emotionally.

Maybe it can be a good opportunity for her to change her lifestyle and get off the drugs On that note, I hope I have been able to give you some reassurance and thanks for talking!
