The story of "Aunt Diane" is ultimately a story about denial. The family of Diane Schuler, while confronted with overwhelming evidence of her being drunk and high, is stunning. I know they loved her. But PLEASE! Toxicology reports have no reason to lie. This is one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. The fact that they thought she "had a stroke" was amazing. I don't think Diane Schuler was evil, I think she was an addict, who hid it very well from her family and friends. Based on the toxicology reports she was amazingly intoxicated but she maintained well enough to go to McDonald's and a gas station-HELLO! This shows me she had built up a tolerance to alcohol and weed, otherwise she would not be able to walk.
Then it (Vodka and Weed) truly kicked in. That's where it went off the rails. How awful for everyone involved. Those precious children taken, the son surviving but impaired for life. And the innocent men just driving to get a Spaghetti and Meatball dinner... I know the family loved Diane, but PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE HER CULPABILITY IN THIS....SHE WAS DRUNK AND HIGH. End of story.
