so i know this stuff is personal, but i really dug your post Drifter and i'm wondering what, if anything, your family/friends did or could have done to reach out to Young Rascally Drifter twenty years ago. might be helpful (not just for Sennex, but everyone).
or maybe what you're saying here is that, yes, sometimes some people can't be helped, but that said, it's not impossible for people to eventually help themselves (and in case that happens, you don't want to have completely burned bridges)?
