> Thanks CS, do you have a link? They were on the front of The Sun today, apparently on holiday at some exclusive island, and family and friends feared they would do eachother in by the time they got home. They said her dad was threatening to ask fans to boycott her record sales in the hope of provoking reform, but I don't hold out much hope.

Of course - I'm awfully lazy about providing links. I do think that a boycott would be in order, though perhaps not of much use.... She's already said that she didn't want to go to rehab.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6966944.stm
In any case, I do think it's important for a family's voice to be heard, particularly when they are in favour of getting someone help (and not bashing them). And like I said, I'm all triggered beyond belief with this story because of my step daughter's problems - "abuse of trust" keeps flashing into my head. We got her into a women's shelter this past weekend and she got herself right out of it. You just can't force someone to accept help if they aren't ready to do so. I read the morning paper's police blotter with trepidation each day. We know that with each escalation there is no corresponding step down :-(
