Whitney was fully grown when she developed her addiction. She wasn’t a young girl when she hooked up with Bobby Brown either, she was in her late 20s. She knew better and was raised better.

I guess I never knew about any “dark side” she had before meeting him. I thought he’d been abusive, as well. From wiki:

In late 2003, Brown was arrested for misdemeanor battery, allegedly for striking Houston while shouting epithets.[11] In February 2004, Brown was arrested and jailed in Georgia on a parole violation related to a previous drunk driving conviction. In June 2004, Brown was sentenced to 90 days in prison for missing three months of child support payments. That sentence was immediately suspended after Brown made back payments totaling about $15,000.[12]

Then again, if she was so slated for self-destruction, perhaps if she would have found someone else just as bad if not worse.
