“Wow! I know that I was meant to listen to this podcast. It’s shocking how similar our story is. I too grew up with a single mom that struggled with addiction and mental illness. My life was so chaotic because of her addictions. Many times we had to walk away From everything we owned, either because we would be evicted or because someone would rob us. My friends and their families were so wonderful to me and often took care of me for months when my mom would disappear. I was raised Christian and found so much strength in my faith. After my mom died of a drug overdose I too began questioning my beliefs. Now I find myself I categorized spiritually.
I’ve wanted to share my story and the wisdom I have from my struggles. I’ve recorded podcasts only to file them away out of fear. I have several family members that are still very religious and I am so afraid of them finding out about my “taboo” beliefs. Hearing your story was what I needed to remind myself that it’s not about me. It’s about the impact my story can have on someone else. Knowing that I’m not alone and that there’s more people out there like yourself that understand has given me a new found courage to speak my truth. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty. Your beautiful soul shines through your words.”
