Hello everyone,
Evelyn here,
Below is today's installment of “A Little Nickel Bag”.
Regardless of the personal cost, many people have and do get involve with illegal drugs do for various reasons, and Doris reasons appeared obvious to everyone who knew her. She was following Carl. If doing drugs brought her closer to him, then she did it. It was a crazy and baseless reason, but it is true. She wanted Carl, and I think at one time, they had truly loved each other. We all thoughts that they would one day marry.
They probably would have if Carl had not been the player with more than one female companion. Doris knew these other women, and I think the knowing broke her heart. I know that it broke my heart about her. She knew she was not the only woman in his life. Yet, she clung to him and the clung to hope that he would change and marry her. They came close once, but they broke up. It was not hard to guest why.
During the time they were separated, Doris did wonders for herself and her children. We all believed she had finally ended it with Carl and would never go back to him. She was out the relationship for more than a year, and then she met someone new and married the guy. The marriage did not last long because for reasons no one knew she started seeing Carl again. In addition, Carl was now into the drug scene.
Carl was using drugs and selling a little on the side, which made it easy for Doris to get hold of the stuff easily. When we saw them together we could hardly recognized them because they did not look like the same people or act like the same people. I started avoiding them because they would not listen to anyone about dropping the habit. I could not help avoiding them because I thought what they were doing was wasteful, and I guess I have not changed much in that line of thought.
Sometime lately, a year or more, Carl stopped using; Doris did not seem to have the will to do it to follow him anymore. He went through rehab, she tried and failed. They separated.
Time went by, and Carl continued to work on cleansing himself of the drugs, and met another woman, Sara. She was the total opposite of Doris. Sara was strong and independent and had a family with money. She was also educated and helped Carl pull himself together. He was a changed man after meeting Sara, and I think he loved her because they married in no time at all.
Nevertheless, things only worsen for Doris she was still hooked on whatever drugs she was taking, and her dependence on Carl grew worst, he seldom saw her and only did so because of their three small children. Carl did take care of them. Doris did try again to clean herself up when he tried to legally get the children. She did not want him to have them, and it was an on going battle that she lost because she could not stay off the drugs for long periods.
