Thanks for sharing all that! Quite a history you’ve had in your still-young life! You’ve been through an awful lot. Although there’s obviously some bad behavior, bad decisions in your past, it’s obvious (to me, anyway) that you have a good heart. It sounds like you are a caregiver at heart and that you’re a very loyal person who cares deeply about the people in your life. The loss of your mother at such a young age surely shaped your life in every way, especially if there was never anyone who filled that maternal role in your life. Plus, it doesn’t sound like your father was a stellar parent in your early years either. It would be a miracle if you hadn’t run into unhealthy relationships, drugs, etc! I feel sad for the little girl that you were. But I can’t say I understand….I had pretty much the opposite experience growing up. My parents were and are pretty much "Leave it to Beaver!" I couldn’t have asked for much better or more stable of a childhood.
So unlike you, I was a pretty straight arrow all my life, until I fell in love with Lortab at about age 38. Just goes to show once again, addiction knows no boundaries, doesn’t discriminate. It can get its claws into anybody!
Anyway, good for you…you’ve fought hard to overcome an awful lot of bad breaks! You’re still so young and you don’t ever have to go back! You can have a great future which holds everything you desire if you just keep doing what you’re doing. Keep up the good work! And again, thanks for sharing.
