The Woman Who Saved My Life
Growing up, the word “mom” did not mean to me what it meant to everyone else. Moms are supposed to be loving, supportive, your best friend .. My experience was the complete opposite. I grew up in the New York State foster care system most of my life due to my biological mothers neglect and substance abuse. I can recall where I would be left in the house for days eating nothing but raw hamburger meat and pancake waiting for my mom to come home. It wasn’t all bad, I knew my mom loved me but she chose her addiction over her daughter, and the rejection hurt me to the core. How was I supposed to love in this world when my first line of protection had let me down constantly?
