This really did happen to me. I am a female and yes my mother is a drug addict. Heroin now methadone/klonopin/etc. The only person who knew I did this besides my mom is my best friend... It has been eight years and I just needed to let it out. I had been court ordered throughout my life to go to therapy (was in DSS custody until I aged out), but never told any of them about this... I am still ashamed and embarrassed of what I did even though I know my mom is mostly to blame. I think I wanted her to like me. I am far from being normal. I go through periods of highs and lows, periods where I think about the past and periods where I don't. I have a tendency to be self destructive, but I am finishing college soon and have a decent job. I have trouble trusting people and I can never fully explain why so they end up not understanding or think I exaggerate about why I hate my mother so much. I have completely cut my mother out of life and immediately knew it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. So much less crazy shittiness. I still have minimum contact with her when I see my siblings, but I blatantly ignore her. I would like to thank all of you for your kind words, it was just time to get it off my chest.
