@child_of_an_addict: I have to start choosing myself. I have to. I know there’s a lot to talk about and a lot of questions. I’ll get to it I promise. Right now I just feel like my world has been turned upside down. I am seeing a therapist and I am taking steps I need to take. I haven’t seen mom in over 2 months. I don’t know what she’s doing or not doing and it’s for the best right now.

You need to step back and focus on your own babies & home. Break the cycle.

Please hear me, you don’t owe us or Shannon an explanation. What you do owe us is for you to take care of yourself and your family wholly 💙 I know you have been through hell, but I promise you will make it out to the other side 💙

She doesnt want to be sober and you cant force her to. From one hurt kid to another…it’s time to acknowledge that she’s incapable of being what you want her and need her to be.

did she tell you why she was mad that you were getting help? I feel like that's the only part that's confusing to me. why was she against you making yourself better

the devil got scared of your light and tried to pull you into darkness. Come out swinging sis. you got this. also, its okay to part ways with your parent and let them reap what they've sown.

Im a silent watcher, I started watching because I seen your drive to help your mom and I’ve been in the same boat since I was even able to remember but with my dad. Getting him better is first, I’m last always. Until I lost myself, I used to scream how much I hated drugs because what they did to him. Then I ran into the same demon, I’ve never felt so low about myself after that. The fact I let something happen to me and my family that destroyed my childhood. Really my whole life. Destroyed the last little bit of me but that’s when you have to fight honey. You have to make the make the hard decisions they couldn’t for us, you can beat this and you will. I still struggle. But I know I will beat this disease that affects generations. It stops with us, take time, feel it, grieve it, and come to peace with the fact that absolutely nothing you do can change their mind when it’s already made. We know that best as addicts ourselves. I know it’s better said than done but it doesn’t feel as heavy anymore when you realize that

I really hope you go to Al anon or nar anon. It really helped me when my dad was in the throes of addiction.

Let her go. I watched my aunt drag my cousins down and now one of my cousins is dead, my aunt is dead, and the 2nd cousin will never recover fully from what she's been through. Save yourself.

There was a span of ten years and then 5 years I didn't see my mom due to addiction. Please don't lose hope. Miracles happen. My mom got clean at 75, she's going to be 80 and we've made some great memories these last 5 years. I grieved her while she was still alive for a long time. It's very difficult. I really do feel your pain and I'm so sorry. I want to give you a big hug. Just take care of yourself right now. You can't pour from an empty cup. ♥️

You did all you could you need to forgive yourself and you need to focus on your family your husband and your girls your husband is a real hero too. Most men wouldn’t have done all the stuff he did and backed you up.

Just know that u gave your mom everything u could.. honestly I didn’t think for a minute that your mom would have stayed sober if u were not in the picture.If she gets sober again it has to be her doing all the foot work. You sweet girl need to focus on your babies. They need u and u won’t get these moments back. I believe in you

When they show their true colours during a time and stage of needing Love and support. That's when you need to definitely grey rock and choose to close that door and chapter. Some things in life are only there for a small time to be a lesson. I hope you find the right people to support and cherish you for all of what you are. You deserve to be happy and let your kids see you be happy. I'm not the best with words but I hope you're ok hun. I haven't spoken to my Mom in 13 years. She chose to abandon me, I need to think of that as a way she was protecting me and my 4 kids from her abuse.
