@thedominiquemorgan: For every child who has ever asked: “If they loved me, why couldn’t they stop?” I need you to know something. Their addiction was not always proof that you were unloved. Sometimes the love was real. And the addiction was powerful too. That truth gave me grace for my mother without forcing me to lie about the harm. I wrote about this, Lil Nas X’s “World’s Greatest!,” my mother, and the treasure we sometimes have to find in the battlefield of our parents’ addiction.

This is the epitome of two things can be on opposite sides of a spectrum and STILL be true at the same time! 💙

I’m a addiction medicine NP, and this is what my patients cry about the most. They love their children and families and they just feel like failures.. because they are struggle to stop using. Thank you for sharing this perspective. 🙏🏾❤️

Love how much you love your mom. Even more importantly, I love how you acknowledged all of the hats that she wore but at the very core of it you were able to humanize her and extend her so much grace.

Thank you for sharing this. In 2026 we’re STILL up against stigmas & narratives around substance use disorders, people still thinking it’s a moral failing. It’s not. It’s CHEMISTRY. DIS-order….my brain does not working in an orderly, average way. I love my friends & fam to Def. My brain don’t gaf bout none of that. Doesn’t take away our responsibilities - but we’re also not doing this on purpose 🩶

This made me think about my mother and how addiction got to her. I know my mother loved me in even in her addiction.
