With Amy Winehouse and her husband currently in rehab, Janis Winehouse, Amy’s mother, is concerned that her daughter is on a self-destructive path that will end in her death. Last week, Amy collapsed from a drug overdose that included ketamine, cocaine, heroin and marijuana, resulting in her in checking into rehab for treatment. Janis spoke with her daughter shortly after Amy’s collapse.
“She looked terrible. She was lucky to be alive,’ she tells the Mail On Sunday. ‘I think her brain’s addled. This isn’t Amy.
“I hugged her and kept saying, ‘What are you doing to yourself?’
“She has said to me, ‘I don’t think I’m going to survive that long.’ She’s on a path of self-mutilation.”
Janis revealed that Amy told her mother of her anorexia and bulimia last year and her mother fears that Amy is in a tailspin out of which she might not be able to right herself. This is so depressing. It’s a lot sadder to me than when someone whose music I don’t give a crap about is in rehab. Kidding! It’s always sad. But still, if this were happening to Nickelback or something, maybe it wouldn’t be so scary.

Well, now we know where she got the nose….
[I kid because I love. Let's be realistic though- the girl drank vodka and whiskey, snorted coke, swallowed xtc and ketamine... every after school special ever taught me that rehab onbly works when you want it. And I think our girl has a one way ticket to party with Jimi, Janis, Gram, and Jim]

I don’t understand what these parents are thinking when they talk to tabloids (or any media) about their children’s personal lives…pretty sh*tty parents…explains a lot I guess.

I’m afraid Winehouse will end-up like another great r&b/soul singer; the late, great Dinah Washington. At least Ms. Washington managed to complete 100s of recordings before she died. Hopefully, Amy will as well.

I read this somewhere else and it said her dentist told her mom that Amy told him that she had anorexia and bulimia. I couldn’t help wonder why Amy would tell her dentist that but…I’m sure someone’s making up this shit somewhere huh?
