Blake: It's My Fault That Amy Winehouse Is An Addict - Page 3
'But because of drugs we can’t have a normal life together. That’s why I have to let her go.'
What Blake says about introducing Amy to hard drugs backs up what her sorry father told an interviewer back in February:
Amy Winehouse's father Mitch has blamed his jailed son-in-law for his daughter's addiction to class A drugs.While Mitch concedes Blake Fielder-Civil is "not entirely responsible" for Amy's drug problems, he believes they worsened after the two married last year.
Before getting together with Blake, Amy had told her dad she thought class A drugs were "for mugs".
Well, while I'm tempted to be all cynical and heartless about this, I'm not so sure that he isn't telling the truth here. I mean, could it be possible that he actually has had a change of heart, that he truly is trying to get his life back together, that he really does want the best for Amy even if that means he walks away? I want to believe it. I really, really want to believe it.
But I also think that Blake takes a bit more than he deserves. If someone has an addictive personality to start with, they will latch on to an addiction like a fish to a baited hook. The desire to self-harm, to take drugs, has to be already present inside of someone...you don't just cut yourself because your boyfriend thinks it's a good idea, there's got to be something already there inside you that urges you on. While he does definitely need to take responsibility for his part in getting Amy messed up and hooked, he can't take all the blame and leave Amy with none. She also has to accept responsibility or she'll never get better.
I've certainly ragged on Blake in the year or so I've been writing here, and he's deserved it. But if he really truly is trying to change his life and be a man, I'll be the first one in his corner. Only time will tell and it's a bit early yet to make snap judgements.
