I’m on my way back to my home state, where my mom is currently staying. We have not seen each other since high school graduation. I left home because I could no longer stand my mom’s craziness.
Mom and Dad divorced when I was in sophomore year. Even though I’m a daddy’s girl, I chose to be with Mom because I thought she needed me more than my Dad needed me. But I was wrong. I was not the one she needed. She chose to be alcoholic and had been bringing boyfriends at home. One time, she had even accused me of seducing one of her boyfriends, when in fact I was almost raped if she had not gone home early.
It took months after my graduation for her to sober up. She eventually realized that no one was there to clean up after her, to cook for her, to do the laundry for her. She was almost fired
