Hi All,
I have a couple important questions that I need help with. Let me give you a little background information:
I have a person very close to me, although I had not seen her or heard from her in at least four years. She was my best friend in my teenage years (still is my best friend, you don't make friends like those again) and was also very close to my family. After I moved out of the country an came to the States she remained very close with my mother and sister who were still living there and we remained in touch, specially when I visited or when she visited me.
From the time when she was quite young she started using diet pills with amphetamines to lose weight. She used them often and started developing a habit, her doses had to get higher all the time, she pretty much got addicted. She became a stewardess, got married, had a daughter but her drug problem grew worse. She now needed amphetamines to get up in the morning and sleeping pills at night. Once she lost her job, she pretty much descended into what I call a sub-life. She spent much of her time sleeping, probably had a big depression, but all the time she was taking these pills. This is after I left the country. She divorced, had her daughter with her but lately she moved in with her dad. This has been going on for a long time, at least 10 years, I would say.
Well, around last July, she did something very, very bad by accident. She actually fired a shot at this guy that was outside her house and was dumping garbage in her front yard. She also says that he was trying to climb the fence to get in the house and it was - sort of - self defense. I guess the details are not that important. The guy died and, she got her trial, got sentenced to 3 years but was let out after one month.
And this is when she called me, last week. To let me know she was "out". I really hadn't talked to her in years, but she knew I knew.
Anyway, I am concerned about her because this must be something very heavy to carry in your conscience, (there's also the threat of the guy's family who are not very happy with the sentence), I'm concerned about her drug use, in fact I figured that the upside of going to prison for her would be she'd have to give up the drugs. And I'm concerned because she has to work on getting her life back together, not only as a result of this horrible thing but also after all these years she has been doing nothing.
I was really touched by her call. She sounded like she hadn't sounded in ages. That's why I tend to believe she is not doing the drugs anymore (she tells me she's not but she can lie. She says she believes this is a huge wake up call for her an wants to start a new life). In any case, I asked the I ching (i'm very new to this but I trust it to guide me) "What is her situation?" and I got Hex 28.1 going to Hex 43. Needless to say, I was impressed by how appropiate to her situation Hex 28 sounds, even if just superficially. I am unsure as to how to interpret #43.
Then I asked "How can I help her?" and I got Hex 31.1.2 going to #43 again! Once more, hex 31 seems to describe a relationship of influence, etc which could refer to our relationship, but I don't know what to make of #43 again...
Any help will be very appreciated...
