I’m grew up with a mom that was made an addict by her doctor but I was shielded from this by my parents. My childhood has basically been me believing we were a perfect family while she struggled getting out of it.
Later she got in an accident, broke her back, got a the wrong operation of the back, which required her getting back on some additive pain medicine, which broke her mentally.
I have been handling this since I was 15, with my moms constant passive bitterness, my mom talking bad about my dad and saying she wants to leave him, and her blaming me for not calling enough. The other half of the time she says “now it is going to get better”..
I now have two kids, one 4 year old and one 2 year old. She has seen the youngest two or three times total…
I am 30 and still get clogged mentally because of this.
