The Mom I Never Had, Alberta Grilho [best books for 20 year olds TXT] 📗

I still remember the first time I heard that my mother had been arrested for drug-related problems.I was angry, scared, sad and confused, and I felt betrayed.Questions ran through my mind. How could she do this to me and my brother? How could she do this to her family? Was it my faut? I felt it was;that I had done something wrong to make her addicted to drugs. I think back to when i was younger, and I don't really rememeber my mom being there when I needed her. I never talked to her about the guys I liked,or shared my feelings if I upset. My life was never "normal" like all the others girls in my class. Why didnt my mom take me shopping? Why didn't my mom come pick me up after school? Then it hit me my mother was an drug-addict. I had no one to talk to, and there were so many unanswered questions. I know now that my life would never be "normal". My mom was dealing with a disease. I rememeber when my mom was using drugs, she would stay in her bedroom for a long period of time.One day, after noticing that my mom hadn't come out of het room for days. I was frighting. I tried to ask my self if she is okay. I would go and knock on her door and ask her some stuff just to see if she is okay and she was. Me and my mother never had a mother-daughter relationship. But I new deep in my heart that I needed my mother back but so it did not happen. She was never in my life. And she will never will be.
