Do you really think she would jeopardize everything she has worked for? I would think she would want to distance herself from any association of such a lifestyle in the future.
// I quote " pot does that" this was your quote when referring to a possible reason for her judgement. What were you inferring there and what is your point with that comment.
My point of her possible compromised judgement was , the business of school and life.
Did Loretta have...
The parents of the boyfriend were planning on coming over even before it was known that LS was dead. ( they had visa complications and would have been her even sooner if not for that) I am not in disagreement that they shouldn't be respected and assisted in whatever means possible.
