What it is

THIS IS........ WHAT IT IS!!!

A lot of people like to say that I damaged my children.

A lot of people need to tend to their own gardens.

People who NEVER use drugs and ALWAYS work

Have children who are damaged, and strung out and mentally ill.

Just because I used drugs doesn’t mean I damaged them

I certainly didn’t help the situation but... damaged?!?

I’m not justifying, what happened was wrong and I was weak

I was and am a great mom! I was really messed up

Mentally, emotionally, and physically and they took the brunt

My children had what they needed, they were clean, fed, and loved.

I love them with EVERY OUNCE of my soul! And they love me!

Not many people know about endless days in the yard

Hunched over an old tub with a washboard, so MY family had clothes

Or filling the bathtub with water and using my feet to swirl clothes

So MY family had clean undergarments.

Not many people know about boiling water on the stove for 6 baths

Because MY Papa was incontinent and we didn’t have hot water.

Ask my kids, ask my ex, did they EVER have to take a cold bath?

Were the dishes clean everyday? Done with more boiled water.

Not many know about Cooking for 12 people everyday while living in a tent!

Not many know I held MY Nana till she took her last breath.

Or that I sacrificed our lives so I could let MY Papa die in peace!

NOBODY KNOWS 2 SECONDS OF MY STORY BUT YET YOU JUDGE ME?!

YOU COULDN’T FIT YOUR TOE INTO MY SHOES.

MOST ARE SCARED TO EVEN TRY!

SO STOP BEING JUDGMENTAL ABOUT SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!

ASK QUESTIONS, ILL ANSWER YOU HONESTLY!
