Ouch! My Parent's Opinion on the XW

On Easter, F and his daughter came over my parent's house for dinner. F's XW picked up the daughter from their house. My parents, ever gracious, offered her a seat and we all chatted a while. Apparently my Dad told my mom after F and I left that he thought that the XW seemed like a "crank-head". 

On one hand, my dad can be a bit dramatic, on the other hand he recently retired from a long career in law enforcement and worked with a lot of drug users/addicts.

 For now, I'm thinking "dramatic". He has accused someone else of being a "dope fiend" (it was never confirmed), but I guess I'll be keeping an eye out for any concerning habits. 

I guess I don't have a question, it was just a bizarre assessment of her by my father.

  • Did you ask what specifically she did to earn this label? I think I live under a rock and I would have no idea what a crank-head would look like!

    I asked him tonight and he said that she just didn't look well. He didn't really get into specifics.

  • That's odd.  Do you think she has problems?

    Maybe he was just saying it to make you feel better in an awkward situation?  That's really weird though.  Did he say this in front of F??

  • Maybe she used to be a user? I've met 2 people who used heavy drugs for a couple years like heroin, meth...and have been sober for quite a while and I could still tell they were users before they confirmed it themselves. They have premature wrinkles on their face even though they are under 40 and it looks like they lost all the fat cells on their face. Their face still looks kinda like a skeleton even though they aren't skinny.

     I thinks she looks really skinny, like possibly sick, but none of her behaviors scream "addict" to me.

    I don't think that he said it to make me feel better because he told my mom and she told me. My mom told me last night that he was pissed that she told me, so he obviously didn't want me to know.

    I told F and he said that her look has dramatically changed since they broke up (she lost a lot of weight and her face looks gaunt) but he never suspected drugs.
