10 long years of playing mom
10 long years of lies
10 long years of secrets
10 long years of disappointment and false hope.
Today, that 10 years stops. I won’t waste another ten years caring about you when you care so little about your children or yourself. We have all sacrificed so much for you, only to get nothing in return. I understand it’s your way to escape, but we have all gone through the same things you did. Dad cheated. I get that. That means he forgot about you and was selfish, he also forgot about me, but I haven’t taken drastic measures like you. Nana died, I dealt with that too. Everything you’ve been through, I’ve been through too and if I can make it, so can you. Suck it up and stop being selfish. Think about your family and your kids and the way we’ve grown up watching you get high. Think about the time, not too long ago when you used me to get the pills and took so many your heart stopped. I was the only one home. I had to call 911. Do you know how hard it is to tell a dispatcher your mother has stopped breathing and you can’t do anything about it. What if my little brother came in and found you dead on the floor? What would that do to him? You’re the most selfish person I’ve ever met.
So today, I’m done. I won’t live in the same house as you and deal with your addiction anymore. I don’t want to hear sorry at all. I want to see you get help. Until then,
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
