I have been reflecting on how her death has shaped me.
If you lie enough you convince yourself that the lie is true, the lie becomes your new distorted reality.
I wouldn’t let my partner, friend, or colleague lie and treat me the way my mum did.
Homely warmth gave way to hollow absence.
It was like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the Hyde part always overwhelmed you.
I am still here fighting on and there is always more of my story to tell.
Mourning the death of someone who hasn’t died, but has changed.
I am able to embrace my sexuality and still find acceptance.
We have to change the conversations around addiction and being a COA. I won’t stop trying.
You should always remember it is just as physically and emotionally draining for the carer as it is for the addicted.
