Tessa, you were dating a rich, overprivileged drug addict. Too bad for you he wasn't using heroin, because at least then he might have turned out to be Seth Mnookin. A few years back, he wrote a Salon piece about his days as a junkie. It ran concurrently with a story by his mother Wendy, on how Seth's addiction derailed their entire family. The Mnookins had money too - Seth went to Harvard - but their stories were compelling in a way that few Salon stories are anymore. Maybe it was the honesty. I don't know. I keep checking Salon for articles that haunt me like those two stories did. Occasionally - very occasionally - I find one. This is not one of them.
