Additional details from the article: Again, just like her mother. One is not supposed to mix alcohol and those anti-anxiety drugs either, no? I have a feeling that this was a tragic accident-a bunch of kids having fun that went too far. I watched a three part investigative report a month or so ago about the explosion of heroin use and heroin-related deaths among affluence young people in a distinct geographical area on the north side of Atlanta. Bobbi Christina was mentioned as one of the possible heroin-related deaths. (At the time her records hadn't been released.) I know Bobbi comes from a super dysfunctional background with addict parents, but this gave additional context to the broader environment in which she lived. Lots of rich kids dying. I've been hearing a lot recently about having the heroin antidote made available to first responders in case of an overdose. I also found information about this “ Georgia 9-1-1 Medical Amnesty Law" on Google. Now I wonder whether any of this may have protected Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon.

Still makes me so sad. Poor girl. We always knew the girl would have problems in life, but it makes me sad that it all just ended so soon for her and that's it. She's just one sad paragraph in the life story of her epically fucked up parents.

Next Tuesday, Robin Roberts is doing a special 20/20 with Bobby Brown and he will talk about everything from what the trailer shows. No matter how crappy he may be or whatever stories we hear, no father should have to tell their daughter to let their mother go after they die...only to have that same child be taken from this world in the exact same fashion. Horrible. And now hearing that Whitney's estate is selling over 100 of her personal items, including her wedding dress...I guess the Trust or estate isn't doing that well and needs to sell all this stuff?

Horrible. I agree. No matter how much Bobby was made to look like the bad influence in that relationship, I feel bad for him. I really do. Whitney and B-K were gone too soon. I hope he's doing better with his new wife and the children that they have together.

I still cannot believe this child is dead. I hold both Bobby and Whitney equally responsible. I cannot even hear a Whitney song without thinking what a truly horrible parent she was.

I split the blame three ways: Bobby, Whitney and Bobbi Kristina. She was old enough and had the resources to live a very different life.

Normally I would agree, but BK just had so little to grab on to. She was so neglected as a child; she was basically just a wild animal foraging in a drug den. And then she had to deal with the trauma of her mother's death and I do believe she was under the control of her "husband" who was introduced into her life when she was an adolescent. And then she most likely inherited a genetic predisposition to drug use. I just feel like she had an awfully deep hole to climb out of and nobody who was actually concerned with helping her.

I feel like Bobbi K was at the age where you start to really unpack the damage abusive/neglectful parents have done. And that's a long process even with a good support system, which she clearly did not have, and maybe didn't even have the tools to find since her parents did such a shitty negligent job of modeling healthy relationships and coping skills for her. If she had lived, maybe she could have figured it out in time. But she truly did not stand a chance.

I completely agree, Ginger and Mutagen. It takes years to address that level of dysfunction. I also believe there was no one even remotely close by trying to really help her.

BK had a lot of challenges, and no support system, but she did nothing to help herself. She had the money to pay for daily therapy and the resources to get herself away from the type of people she seemed to surround herself with (her husband).
I'm not saying I don't feel bad for her, but there are countless other people who grew up in worse situations who have fought their way out and gotten college scholarships at her age. There are also countless people who grew up in worse situations who are sitting in prison at her age. It's all about the choices you make, and 22 is old enough to start taking responsibility.
