The little girl in me is so angry. My mom became addicted to prescription pain killers when I was 8 years old. I’ll spare the boring details but I went through hell. I experience emotional, psychological, neglect and physical abuse throughout my childhood. I had countless adults in my family who could’ve helped me but instead chose to keep things a secret. My mom overdosed countless times during my childhood and when I was 16 years old, she was in a coma for a week due to an overdose. Again, not important. Anyways, she passed away in February of 2021 from overdosing on fentanyl. And part of me was almost happy (that’s horrible of me to say but at least it’s honest) that the trauma could finally come to an end for everyone included. I’ve went through a vicious cycle of being angry for never getting closure or an apology for all she did. As time passes, I’m beginning to feel anger toward myself because I’m starting to not be mad at her anymore. Has anyone else went through these emotions?
