She Started Hurting Herself
In a disastrous turn of events, Claire also began to hurt herself. Stephen shares a situation where his older granddaughter called him at 2 a.m., begging him to go to their house. She claimed her mom was threatening that she was going to jump out of their apartment window, and her daughters were extremely scared. Of course he rushed over to her home, but it would seem that the Claire he once knew was just not there anymore.
She Wasn’t The Woman He Knew Anymore
Stephen would iterate, “Her choice of male partners was appalling. I thought for the last two years of her life she was on a rollercoaster to hell. She had gone so far down the road, her rational thinking had gone. It was like having a daughter I didn’t know anymore.” He went on to say, “This is what drugs can do to the mind. All of a sudden I’d got a daughter I no longer knew and could no longer relate to. It was just so sad.”
