Just recently Em and I were discussing how neither of us have ever met anyone who is HIV positive. When my dad told me that Kim tested positive my first reaction was to hang up on him. I wasn't sure what to say, but I've known that she's been sleeping around for over a decade (she'll be 25 at the end of April) and that she's been shooting up for at least three years. It was only a matter of time before she contracted it.
I told him that plenty of people live long healthy lives with HIV and sometimes it never develops into fullblown AIDS. He said that he's more concerned with getting her off her meth addiction and that he spoke to her probation officer (she's currently in jail for violating her probation) and they've agreed that the best place for her is rehab. She's starting a nine month program in April.
She's been in treatment before, so I'm not hesitant in saying that I'm not confident that it'll work. I hope it does - more for the sake of my parents than for her. How sad is that? I was more upset over the sound of my fathers voice when he was telling me. He's tried for so many years to get her on the right track, but she keeps fucking up. I remember one time him saying that she just attracts the wrong people. What he neglects to accept is that she is the wrong people. Kim isn't being corrupted - she's the corrupter.
I don't like her. I don't want her to be in my life. But, that doesn't mean I don't want her to get better and it certainly doesn't mean I want her to die.
I just want her to stop hurting everyone around her. I feel horrible for saying/thinking it - but maybe this is the wakeup call she needed. Finally permanent damage to all her selfish acts. Hopefully it'll teach her a thing or two.
