someone ruined my name. As you know, as a mom, this affecxts your children, especially if theyre young. Yes, i was an addict at the time, but in recovery and this person’s family member was in active addiction and stealing meds. It was easier to blame me than look in the mirror. My kids had to move schools for a fresh start and we had to make new friends in order to move on. But God in His mercy had forgiven me, allowed me to keep my family and help ,e stay sober and healthy, so i chose to forgive. Not a death story but a part of us you could say died.
