It wasnt up to her parents, unfortunately. If Amy didn't want to get help and get better, then no matter what anyone else said/did would have made a damn bit of difference.
I lost my best friend and father to drug/alcohol abuse 5 years ago, and their deaths occurred only 3 weeks apart. All the years of begging and asking and crying and blah blah blah didnt work. Close calls with death didnt work. Support no matter what didnt work. People close to them that they loved telling them to fuck off and leaving their side after all else failed didnt work.
Some people do abuse substances as ways to cope with other issues, but the bottom line is that they let have succumbed to their weaknesses instead of choosing a better path to get help. This is no one's fault... it is up to each and every individual to overcome and grow from the terrible experiences life can throw at us.
