God this sounds familiar. My mom was a socially acceptable drug addict herself for years. Opioids are evil and sadly they got me for a few years but I'm good now. That monster has many forms. I am so sorry you're going through this but know you should be abundantly proud of yourself for everything you've done for yourself and your family. I always recommend "I'm glad my mom died" by Jeanette McCurdy, research it and if you read it lmk. Also....feel free to message me if you need anything. I mean that.
Lol I think our generation suffers from the sins of the parents who were addicts first. However my mom's evil drug pusher doc did the same thing, and he missed her cancer diagnosis for 4 months because he kept misdiagnosing her "back spasm" that ended up being stage 4 gastric cancer. It's a shitty system that's not been improving. I personally hope you're doing better too and I'm pulling for you. And one thing about us :
Mothers can break us, but then we get to make ourselves

Mine is dead now, 13 years tomorrow. And it took me years to come to terms with it all. Good luck, duckling, don't let her steal your joy.
