I just found out that a 20+ year old friend of The Frau's idiot daughter is huffing freon from the air-conditioner where she lives. She is about 4-5 months pregnant.
Can any one explain to me what the <expletive deleted> is going on with this kid's brain? What part of 4 months pregnant with a human fetus is not clear to this woman?
How can someone's life be that bad that they feel they need to huff freon? I have lived through some crappy times as I am sure many of you have. But I never would have considered doing anything like this.
In looking at the toxicology of Freon, I am not getting what advantageous thing this could do to you to make life temporarily better?
4 month old fetus being hit with CFCs. swell.
I am angry, but mostly confused. I know that I am an old fart, but I just don't get it.
Sorry for the venting. I gotta spend more time with my dogs.

Damned, she destroys the Ozone layer by releasing CFC!
Sorry for the lame joke attempt in a serious topic, sometimes a cynical laughter is all we have.
Since CFC's are no longer common, my uneducated guess would be that she is huffing some kind of substitute - something like Propane, which gives people a buzz for a few minutes.
As huffing seriously destroys brain cells among adults, it is a even more serious prob for the baby - increased chances of brain damage are definitely there.
Since you don't seem to have the best relationship with you Frau's daughter, it doesn't look like you can do anything on that part, like talking her into convincing her friend to look for professional help. What the girl does to what's left of her brain is her problem, but given the level of addiction that she does damage to her unborn, it would be the best if she gets into rehab at least till the child is born. As you are one of the people who knows about it, this certainly puts you into some kind of morale pressure now - I do not want to switch with you atm.
I hope that letting off some steam helps and you come to a conclusion. Good luck!
