Belinda, don't let anyone call you crazy...your are grieving and those who have not experienced it have no clue.  I'm a full time student studying Alcohol and Drug counseling.  18 years since I had a drink.  have you thought of going to alanon for children of alcoholics?  it really helps you understand where your mom was coming from.  It is a disease and one that is very strong.  You are right, none of us will ever be the same.  Just keep taking it day by day and you will grow into a stronger woman.

My friend Tyler didn't exactly die to drugs, but his death was kind of drug related. He lost his life to the "choking game." I guess it was a way for him to get "high," since he no longer had drugs.. And he had gotten into that situation by getting mixed up with the wrong crowd and doing drugs.
And I totally agree with Deborah; don't let anyone say that you are crazy. You are grieving the loss of your sister and your mother. Anyone who calls you crazy just doesn't understand. God bless.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
