After posting my story last night I went to bed without thinking much about it. This morning when I awoke the comments and private messages I recieved where overwhelming. See being in the situation I grew up in you feel so alone and like no one understands. I just wanted to add a little bit so no one gets the wrong idea of me. My Nan was a beautiful angel on earth who stepped in and raised me,she taught me morals, and gave me love that showed me there was another road I could take instead of the path I watched my mother go down.A year ago last month I lost my beautiful Nan, at 62 years old she passed to to complications with diabetes, she suffered a horrible death of misery and infection overtaking her body. I quit my full time job,moved my 3 children near by and stood by her side until God took her home. She was my saving grace in this world. The childhood I had was horrid and I wouldnt wish it on anyone,but the lessons Ive learned have made me the woman I am. Im strong,Im outspoken,Im true to the person god made me to be. Alot of children of addicts fall down the same path of their parents, that is the sad part thats who I wish I could help. Today I am a stay at home mother who has 3 beautiful children. I have no family of my own as I was a only child and my Nan was really all I had after losing my mother 4 years ago. I will tell you somedays are horrible, I battle demons in my own mind of the horrid flash backs of things I went thru back then. But God gave me these 3 children as a blessing, I take pride in the mother I am and in my 25 years of life I have never touched a drug nor smoked or anything else. One day as my children grow older I hope to go back to college and be able to help someone else, in physcology or social work. Life is hard, and people search for a fix to run from reality. We as a society should help instead of bashing them, this group alone is proof that there are amazing people out there who believe in a wonderful God who can change and heal these people. I pray for you all your families, and send lots of love from here in Kentucky. I end by this,each day I live with scars that no one can see,so before you judge someone, take a minute to think about what demon they are dealing with for we all battle something.... below is a picture of my beautiful Nan and my daughter and one of me
