Have you known a person who seems to enjoy a troubled life?

I don’t want to sound unsympathetic but I know a woman of forty seven who appears to be so self destructive that for fifteen years she has chosen the wrong man at bars, taken drugs like cocaine, had a baby with a man she left after she became pregnant and he washes dishes at Whataburger and now is in jail with a DUI, refuses to work more than one job she does at “home” so is always broke, dumpster dives even for food, feeds then keeps stray dogs who are either stolen or freeze to death, buys cars with 250K miles on them that soon break down, puts fifty cents worth of gas in them and has to push them and lets her teeth rot or gets them pulled out when they ache, was given a new cabin but left it to chase a heroin addict who ditched her for another state and there’s more. Someone told me “some people like that kind of a life and are uncomfortable with normalcy.” Do you believe anyone can get used to living this way or even like it if they are bored easily?
