Thank u for this...I am 43 and my mom was addicted to crack for over 15 years after my father was murdered in the 80's. I saw so much stuff as a kid myself I am also blessed to be here sane today. Thank God my mother eventually became clean and became my best friend. Regardless of her life style then she was still my mom. She just passed 3/28/2020 from covid-19...but best believe she was a strong woman.🙏🏾❤💖🥰👭🏽
