Are you referring to Sabrina Barr, 37 year old that had 2 tattoo shops. Her bones were found this week and coroner says they has a positive I.D.

This is sad. From all the info comming out it doesn't look too good.

Heard on the noon news that a person fitting her discribtion had been seen leaving a known drug house in Oak Cliff.

I'm sure her family must be devastated.

Yeah, I'll be praying for her family tonight because of their loss. However, how sad her daughter will have to grow up without a Mother.

Having helped my aunt raise her oldest granddaughter most of her life because her mother was a drug addic, and her dad was just plain selfish, I can tell you it was probably the drugs more than it was being selfish. Stephanie was a good person and a good mother when she wasn't using drugs, however unfortunately her first husband abused her and so did my cousin. So it sent her in to a tail wind for a long time. She use to leave Kristin with someone when she would go on her drug benges, then she started taking her to the crack houses. When Kristin was little and she would be playing some of the things she said would just break your heart. Stephanie has been clean for almost four years now. Unfortunately the damage done to the relationship with her three kids is almost beyond repair, especially with Kristin. However despite all she went through growing up she graduated last month WITH HONORS and got a full scholarship to a really good nursing school. I can actually see both sides. Because as a mother I could never do that either, however you do your best to raise your kids right and sometimes when they get older the get out of control. My daughter has spent the last four years on meth, at a great cost to her father and I. It has cost us almost everything we had. The one thing I could never do was leave her on the streets. She lived there part of the time, however it was always when we didn't know where she was. June 12 she celebrated her first year of being cleaning. It was a very big deal for her, us as her parents, a couple of friends and my. However the rest of the family h

Great story Dale, I know a girl, we will call her Amy. She once toured with Kirk Franklin, did the whole church thing, married, 2 gorgeous boys, new house. You get the picture of perfection by now, her life has been totally wasted on Meth, God help her. Her husband is gone, they divorced, she lost custody, they lost the house, tragedy. To this day she is still out there somewhere, family doesn't even know her whereabouts.

Definitely a tragedy when families are involved.

scotty you got that right. Alcohol affects just as many as drugs do. As most of you know my six year old cousin was killed by a drunk driver. Both are sad, senseless and preventable. I have been lucky so far. I still have my daughter. Meth just destroys your body. She doesn't even look like the same person, but I still have her and for that we are very grateful

Dalejr that was a very touching story. Hope your daughter continues to be clean.

It is so sad what drugs can do.
They can tear whole families apart, and cause feelings to be hurt beyond repair.

God bless you and yours.

Many families, are affected, by drugs. There is no boundry,low income, high income, Drugs don't care. The worst addictions, meth, heroin, are devastating.

I guess what I believe is basically, its selfish for this particular woman to choose drugs over her own blood! There must be times where she's thinking clear to where you'd think she'd think, "wow, I wonder how me doing drugs affects my family"? I don't know anything about drug use having never done em' or any experience around them, but I know that I know now that I'm a parent I would do anything it took to get clean.

All addicts, no matter whether it's drugs or booze or sex or whatever, are in the magical thinking period that they can stop at any time. The thing is, that by the time their lives have crashed around them, they are often so physically enmeshed in the lifestyle that they really can't do it alone. Addicts by their definition are delusional.
