Chapter 3929 The Descent Fetish:>>Ep56
- The week following the evening at Rich and Barb's house saw new routines develop in the Weaver residence. Sharon was no longer snorting coke alone in the bathroom and isolating herself in shame or secrecy to preserve a veneer of normalcy in the home. She and Amanda were now openly railing themselves into oblivion in every room and off every hard surface in the house. Jim had been utterly horrified to find his wife and his daughter sat on the couch snorting lines off a small glass mirror that they traded back and forth after coming home from running an errand.
- Unfortunately for Jim, however, Amanda had the support of her equally coke-fiending mother and the secret of their incestuous relationship to hold over his head. This meant that as much as it devastated Jim to watch his wife drag his barely 18-year-old daughter into the perils of cocaine addiction--he didn't have a move to make to stop it. This translated into a fall into depression and eventually hopelessness for Jim, and he teetered over into intentional obliviousness more and more as the days passed. By the time the weekend had arrived it had been days since he'd spoken to either of them and although they all lived together and shared a bloodline--there were veritable strangers.
- Sharon had increased her coke intake now that she had a precocious 'partner in crime.' It seemed to Sharon that Amanda's appetite for the stuff extended beyond the boundaries of her comprehension. Her limitless insatiability had rubbed off on her and while she had already become comfortable with multi-day coke binges, she simply did nothing sober anymore. Going more than an hour without a bump had become something that just did not occur and between going through 8-balls like they were oxygen Sharon could always feel the hunger of her addiction pressing her for more.
