You know, like Amy was older than Dionne, she was a mother figure for her. It's often said that having a bad parents is harmful. But I know friends of mine who have parents who use drugs, and that is the opposite happens. Amy has made enough mistakes herself, in order to tell truly, about the wrong side of the drug.
In fact, Amy has already told Dionne to not trust anyone and especially to never touch drugs. I think despite her condition, Amy has really teached Dionne not to repeat her mistakes and inevitably, Dionne had no choice but to trust Amy about it since she saw the damage on her.
A parent who has never taken drugs, it's great. But how can a child believe what his mother said about the subject of drugs, if she doesn't know herself? I'm not saying that parents should not warn their children simply because they have never taken drugs, but it is easier to believe someone who has had the experience.
I think Amy knew the difference between adult age and that of Dionne. I don't believe that Amy have told her grownups problems to her goddaughter. Why? Well once, Dionne wrote something unpleasant about Blake on her Facebook. (In 2010, when Amy and Blake have started going out together again) Amy responded to Dionne to stay outside the stories of adults and even added that at this late hour, Dionne should be in bed. Which leads me to believe, that Amy treated Dionne like a child and not as a friend to go out with.
Obviously, there are few evenings that shouldn't happened. I know that once in 2008 (we know that Amy was at her lowest) Amy led Dionne in a bar. It was perhaps not very appropriate but I don't believe that Amy had taking drugs in front of her. Has she ever been high with Dionne, probably yes. But an addict (this type) is never sober. This is not a reason to isolate them. I think the relationship Amy / Dionne is an excellent example of Amy who always took care of others more than herself. If I was the mother of Dionne, of course, I checked the status of Amy before letting totally my daughter with Winehouse (even if it's just a phone call) but I wouldn't have prevented my daughter to see Amy, in general.
It may be silly to say, but Amy was taking so many drugs, that sometimes, some doses (for Amy) was not as bad as if someone who never took anything, take the same. So there are certain drugs, or certain dosages, that did not prevent Amy from functioning normally, as she developed a habit.
So even though I would not let my daughter with someone who took two lines of coke, for example, with Amy it would be different because two lines for Amy, it was probably not enough to make her lose her mind. You know what I mean ?
I fall in love everyday !
Not with people, but with situations...
