Tonight I lost a cousin. He was 42 and an identical twin - they’re a month younger than me to the day. It was cancer. We grew up like siblings, until things got really bad with his mom’s alcoholism. Her disease changed everything. He was funny af, lighthearted, and so smart. He wanted everyone to be happy. To numb his pain he drank, got into drugs for a while, and smoked a lot. It took him. I truly believe there is no greater power or deficit in life than a strong mother. I’m sad.

2 天內	Courtney Cooper courtcoop335	I grew up with an absent mother due to alcoholism and now I’m a mother who suffers from alcoholism however I’m still able to be present every day in my daughter‘s life. I’m not proud that I still turn to alcohol but I agree 100% the way I was raised was not right and I’m repeating the same mistakes. This is a very powerful post and it hits Home a lot. It’s none of our faults it’s hereditary and it gets worse with generations I often wonder at what point will I not be present in her life?
