"Mom what are you doing?" I said as I walked in my moms room. She was laying on the ground with a plain look on her face. I ripped the needle out of her hand and broke the tip off. "Why did you just do that Baily?" Mom said as I walked out discussed with her. "You make me sick!" I said as I turned around to face her. "Grow up!" she said as I turned back around to walk out.
My favorite mistake was when my mom started doing drugs. She started them when I was at the age of 6 I was in 1st grade. I remember coming home trying to get my mom to wake up. Although I knew there was no point because I already knew that she wasn't going to wake up.
Even if I jumped on her she would still be asleep. My step dad was at work so me and my younger brother and sister went outside. My sister was hungry I had no way to wake my mom up to feed us. My step dad won't get home till late. He will probably be drunk.
I grab a chair and get down the mac and cheese I get a pot and put water in it. Mom wakes up she yells and freaks out and locks us in our room. My step dad comes home he asked my mom where we are. He comes and he let's us out. He made us dinner and took us to grandma's.
When we came back from grandma's our mom was gone. I asked my step dad where she was and he said she went to your aunts for a while to get better. So I said ok and took my brother and sister to bed. I told them good night and reminded them that our first day of school was tomorrow. They smiled and said ok.
Now it's been 10 years and I learned from not only one of my mistakes but best of all my mom's. She thought me one of the many lessons that I learned from. But it was the best one that thought me so much in life. I now know that the way that I raise my kids will effect the way they grow. I know not to do drugs because my mom almost died on them and she wasn't a good mom. I know now how to stay focused and I will be a great mom and I will be able to take care of my kids so that they can have a structured life.

I can relate to this because my dad did drugs when I was really young. No matter what I did to try to wake him up, he wouldn't. I had to pretty much take care of myself. How did you manage to take care of yourself
I love your mistake even though I can't relate to it in my life. My mom never used drugs but was never there for me. Grandma basically raised me until high school. I know how you feel not having your mom there fully, all the way. What I learned from your mistake is that if you have a family then be there for them. I think it's west side and I would give my future family everything I wish I had. Good work and stand strong against the drama of life.

I liked that you took initiative to take care of your siblings.
Even thoug things get hard, they always get better.
Stay strong I love you my friend.
i have a similar situation but a lot different. When I was 13 my moms doctor over proscribed her she was about to go to my cousins baptism when she said she started to get sick so she said she was going to stay at my grandparents instead of going to the baptism. Then when my family got back to my grandparents house they found her in one of the guest beds. my sister and I were with our dad this weekend so we were not able to see her that day. So be happy your mom woke up. My moms OD was not on purpose.
