Speak Up

My name is December and I am 14 years old. My mom was a big meth user. Being with meth, she didn't have time for any of her kids. There are 5 of us. She never gave us any birthday presents, Christmas presents. Nothing. I am the oldest child she had me when she was 17. She started using meth when she was 10. She never had any time for anything. She didn't have time for anyone. All she did was get high and dump us. She's in the federal pen now. I haven't seen her for five years. I've never met my dad. I was adopted. That's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Leaving a child on a doorstep isn't normal. But on meth it is.
