I realized I didn’t hit publish on the final installment of my personal pregnancy story last week and I will publish that one tomorrow. I’m moving this one forward because of the date. May 27, 2017 I was dealing with the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with as a mom – my kid’s addiction.
While June is my kid’s sober birthday and Recovery month is September; May is Mental Health Awareness month and the connection between mental health and addiction is undeniable. In our house both are discussed openly, without apology.
I was feeling a bit of strength when I wrote this one after a particularly difficult encounter with my kid. I think I felt a shift in both of us that day, and now every time this memory comes up I remember that it was only one month and one day later that he found his wings.
