Speak Up

hi, i have 5 sisters and 2 brothers, when i was 8 years old my mom and step dad started doing drugs. they did everything from meth to heroin, anything they could get theyre hands on they did. we ended up living in a car for a few months before me and my brothers and sisters were taken away and split up. my mom stayed on drugs for 2 more years before being thrown in prison where she straighten out and cleaned up thanks to a prison preacher. i didnt see my mom for 6 almost 7 years and she admits that she loved the drugs more than me so thats why she didnt want me. i called my mom when i was 15 to see who she had turned out to be. my mom has been clean for a few years now and i moved in with her right before my 16th birthday. things seem better now but i always remember the way things were and how much it hurt to lose my mom and family all over a stupid drug that ruins so many other lives.....
