The Money Grandma

The plaintiff claims that her mother wasn’t around to raise her due to her drug addiction, and thus their relationship has always been rocky. She is suing her mother for an unpaid loan. The defendant admits to using drugs but insists that she’s been clean for two years.

[@tams1990]

I hope she stays clean, she seems like a wonderful person. You can tell they love each other, it’s just the addiction got in the way sadly.

[@sandyr9081]

I agree, and I loved her clarity of mind as well as her ability to speak so well. She certainly was transparent and this is the honesty I felt from her. It tells me that she’s doing a lot of inner work to heal a lifetime of childhood trauma issues. Yes! and GOD Blessed her and this entire family’s legacy 🙏🙏 #breakthechain, and #bebondagefree.

What she says is true. Some ppl be lying about their clean time. I know because I did that the 1st time I started to get clean but relapse. But after my relapse I went to rehab and stayed for good. Through God Grace I've been clean and serene for 24yrs and counting. But you have to wanted and be serious about your recovery.

Her relapsing every 2 to 3 years coincides with everything she was saying. I pray she can stay clean. It seems like she’s trying to stay clean but when life throws her a curveball I don’t think she knows how to handle it and that’s why she goes back to drugs.

[@mixiperez6833]

For many addicts when life gets hard they relapse because for so long that's what they did to cope, be numb to situations, etc. It's when they really get to the roots of their problems & secrets & learn new coping skills is usually when they maintain not just long term sobriety but recovery as well

The maturity of the plaintiff and her emotionally healthy demeanor is commendable. It takes a lot of courage and self empowerment to move through a parent that is consistently a disappointment.

Stop loaning out your money; you'll be alot happier when you learn to say "no" to those who ask you for it. You'll learn that the more you try to "help" someone out, the more they will see you as their ATM ...then when you ask to be repaid, they'll give you the "How Dare You" look and attitude w/a million excuses.

People always do that, when they come into some money, by way of settlement, life insurance and the oh so infamous tax return. They immediately start spending it on whatever they want and need when the first priority needs to be pay your debts and pay who you owe. Then with whatever money if any is left you spend it as you see fit.
