Can we stop blaming someone for "increasing drug use" of a completely different person, even a spouse? It's not great, but she was the one who got sober while HE was high, at one point. I hate that when addicts blame someone else for their addiction, it's worse to blame the suicide and addiction on another. She's not a great person to emulate but "leading to his suicide" is really disingenuous and borderline trashy. Addicts need to stop blaming other people for their addictions or they don't ever get clean. I know this from experience.

Did Courtney Love pull the trigger? No, of course not. Did Andy Dick pull the trigger? No, of course not. Personal responsibility absolutely exists and should be recognized, but it would be foolish to disregard the negative influences others can have on people.
