My Mother was LDS, yes there are mormons in Vegas like you wouldn’t believe. After all they settled damn near everything in the area! Anyway she was brought up the same way as your friend. Christian… turn the other cheeck… Well my dad was something of the same sort as your friends ex. Liked fast woman… the whole vegas scene. he was and exec at a casino so it was “there” all the time. Dad though, was a good dad in that he did send the support checks and we same him regularyly. Mom didnt want to live in LV either but she didnt want to take us from out dad either. My mother made a lot of sacrifices for us kids and was a easy target for sharks. It took her some time but she is no ones victim anymore. The only thing is that being around so many other moral-less ppl (I am flawed person and know but never have taken advantage of someone) it made her bitter and tired. People who have lived thier awhile forget that peoples attitudes are different in other places. PPL in Vegas think that all cities are like that after awhile. I hear ppl complain about this place but it is heaven here compared to there. I hope she gets some benefit out of this blog. Because if she reads it she will mark my words in 10 years.
PS All the kids I grew up with have drug habits except for a very few. Not that it isnt everywhere but it is abundent there.
