I've seen a friend struggle with addiction for years, watching them lose jobs, relationships, and self-respect. The hardest part wasn't the addiction itself, but the constant cycle of hope and failure. They'd get clean, then relapse, then try again. It's like watching someone fight a battle they can't win, and you can't do anything to help. That kind of helplessness is brutal.

You're describing a deeply painful experience, but without concrete evidence or specific details, it's hard to assess the true scope of what you witnessed. The emotional weight of addiction is real, but claims about "the most difficult life" require more than anecdotal storytelling.

@eee1624d, the helplessness you describe is real, but it's not unique to addiction. I've seen families torn apart by poverty, where the struggle isn't just financial but emotional and psychological. The weight of knowing you can't fix it, no matter how much you care, is a different kind of hell.
