A mother apologizes to her son for years of drug addiction and the neglect that followed. He says the trauma still surfaces even though she's sober now, but that acknowledging what happened openly can start to heal it.
It was never your fault. I'm so grateful for you, and I'm so sorry for all of the hurt that I caused you. I know that you don't like talking about this 'cause you wanna protect me, but I'm comfortable enough with the things that I did to talk about them. I didn't even know why I was abandoning you. I didn't know why I wasn't taking you to school and doing what's best for you. I wanted to stop. I felt terrible. I couldn't stop.
The unfortunate part about addiction, the scars from addiction, is that you'll never be able to let it go. Your mother's living that right now. Even though she's been sober, it still always will pop up. But what you can do is understand it and acknowledge it more. And through acknowledging it and talking about it openly, it will start to heal.
