REAL STORIES

Age: 13
Gender: Female

Just last year I lost my mom to meth. At first I panicked but then I decided that I would leave my mom and go live with my grandparents. Now this year, I have been told by my grandparents that she is possibly off it.

My mom was on meth while I was living with her, she would bring numerous men in and have sex with them. No doubt they were trading sex for meth. Often she would stay in her bathroom for hours at a time either by herself or with her boyfriend. I don't understand how she called him her boyfriend they would scream and throw things at each other every night. Every time they would fight I would cry myself to sleep watching some children's movie very loud so it would drown out the sound of shattered glass. Even know I am a child of a meth addict I will make sure I don't try meth because it's horrible and destructive. I really do miss the person my mom used to be when she would take me out to a restaurant once a week and call it girls night but it will never be the same and I will most likely not see her until she gets it together. Maybe after I am 18 or older.
