Set her past mistakes aside, and this lady has been a great mom to Brandon this entire journey. Her concerns in the beginning were more than valid, she flew all the way out to them to be at the wedding, she offered an olive branch and her genuine heart to Mary, she was chill about munching on frogs, and she got real with Brandon when she saw him being in the wrong against Mary.
Honestly, she’s a real one.
No respect for washed up drug addict. Maybe had she raised him he wouldn’t have such self esteem problems.
She’s recovered, and judging by your comment, has way more wisdom and life experience than you. So what does that say, huh? Intelligent people like her learn by the mistakes they make. Grow the F up.
I totally agree with you aside from “she’s recovered”. As far as I understand, an addict is always “in recovery” and it’s a lifelong deal. Doesn’t matter if it’s 10,20,40 years down the line, sometimes addicts turn back to drugs no matter how much time has passed.
But I was pleasantly surprised with her growth and she seems to be doing well! I never understood people who view prior addicts in a negative light. They are stronger than most people because it’s a mental battle like no other and have been through way more shit in life to end up resorting to doing drugs.
What a nasty comment above. I worked with homeless and foster kids. Guess what- half of them ended up on drugs for the horrific shit they witnessed or experienced and the drugs were the only way to block out the memories of getting raped by grandpa for 3 years starting at 5 years old. It’s such a fucked up mindset. No one willingly decides to throw their life into the toilet and to judge that is awful.
