What I want to know is why doesnt someone HELP her. Family, friends, counsellors involved in her many criminal charges, someone, anyone. Im not a fan of hers at all but I think this is so sad. Violence, boob licking, break and entering, loosing custody of one child, miscarrying another, drugs, etc.
If I fell that far out of the tree I would really hope someone would catch me.
Where are her friends?
Though I have not done any of the things Courtney has, I feel I can answer that question from personal experience.
What happens is, when you are in a position for people to look down on and disapprove of, they don't want to 'help' you. They want to ridicule you, talk behind your back about what a disgrace you are, even laugh at you. I'm talking family here, and the people closest in your life. They may want things to be better for you, but only on their terms. The also are very good at cleansing themselves from any guilt by saying 'it's her own fault' or 'she shoulda done this' or 'she shouldn'ta done that and this never woulda happened.' Which may be true, but that's not doing anything to help things NOW, is it? Even if she dies, I'm sure they'll all go, well, she did it to herself, it's not my fault!
WHY do people who allegedly 'love' you act this way when you need them most? My theories are that they really can't be bothered in their own little world, so they do anything they can to condemn the person in their minds so that they are able to get rid of any pangs of guilt they may feel for not helping. It's easier that way. People will go so far as to say the person does not 'deserve' help and even that they aren't 'worth' it! (I've had those things said to my face) Also, I honestly believe that some people even subconciously use the failures, problems and downfalls of someone close to them to bolster their own self esteem, feeling superior because it's not them, and no matter how bad they feel about themselves, at least they're not Courtney (or Michelle, or Joe, or whoever it is) The final theory is, maybe they really just don't care!
