P.S.
I love my mother’s family.
Something my Aunt Suzie said today…actually MANY things my Aunt Suzie said today, along with other things said by my 5 other aunts, really struck a nerve in me.
There are things that as a child and while growing up, we’re all told to stay away from… or that they’re bad… or they could potentially cause harm to your life. Drugs… alcohol…sex.. among other things. Abusive behavior, to be more exact.
I’ve always known, and always completely understood why not to do drugs, view pornography, drink too much alcohol. But everyone insists on learning the hard way, right? That’s how it’s always been.
I mean, you hear about/see movies about people who’ve become drug addicts, alcoholics, pedophiles… but do you EVER think, “that could be ME one day.” No. We never think that, cause it wont happen to us, those people are sickos.
Well let me tell all: I have drug addicts, alcoholics, pedophiles in my family. I have seen what has lead these people up to the point of destruction in their lives, and i am seeing now the consequences and the loss of direction and the misery these people are now suffering under.
I have a point, but ive got to go somewhere right now. I just had to get a little bit of this off of my chest.
