Mamapundit, a long time blogger, loses her 18-year son. He had been struggling with drug addiction for many years and suffered a severe beating during a drug deal. Lisa Belkin has all the links. Terribly sad.
UPDATE: There's a follow-up discussion here.

Mamapundit is also Katie Granju, author of Attachment Parenting, considered a classic in the AP circles in which I hang.

Henry’s entire story just breaks my heart. I can’t imagine what Granju has been going through for the past month. (FWIW, I thought Attachment Parenting was a solid book, and I still do.)

thanks for the links. I think Katie was on a list I was on in the early internet, called parent-l out of Australia – when my kids were born. I will be hugging them extra tonight.
