Haha, I think the three will make fast friends!
Enjoyed reading your post and cheers to bringing awareness to issues on prescription drugs too. I can see why some people will turn to drugs as a way of escape/coping, especially, if they don't have the social support. I watched a Ted Talk a while ago that spoke to this. The only thing I remember is the experiment he was explaining, where mice were given a choice between plain water and water laced with heroin. The mice that had a support community chose plain water every time. While the isolated mouse picked the laced water. I guess it always comes down to education and prevention. When it becomes addiction, some say its too late.
