Moving out of my Uncle's

Someone's got to be the designated adult when the adult is the addict. Unfortunately, my story is not uncommon. Come along for the ride with Someone's Gotta Drive.﻿I decided to start this podcast, because I grew up with a mother with many addictions, I ended up with an ex-husband with many addictions, and currently trying to raise my children and trying to break the cycle. While I don't feel like I have many addictions, I do like to drink.I do like to smoke. But I don't let it rule my life and I learned at an early age that unfortunately that's just not the case. For some people, they can't have one drink.They can't just take medicine as needed. Because it turns into so much more throughout most of my childhood. My mother was always known as sick.Everyone would tell me that she could die any day whether it was due to seizures or diabetes, or some of those addictions that no one really wanted to talk about, but unfortunately, my story is a little all too common. And now since my mother has passed away, my ex-husband well has since gotten divorced, I had left everything behind 11 years ago to start a new job. A new life and new chapter.Sometimes, that means not speaking to family. Sometimes, that means family shun you and think the worst of you, because you've made this decision in life in the meantime. I'm going to tell you my story, but how I'm trying to raise 2 beautiful daughters to not know the exact tragedies and traumas that I lived through.They will 1 day hear my story. But they will never live the stresses and anxieties that I had as a child hearing your mother could die any day. I was kicked out of my house at 17 two weeks before I graduated high school.I'd lived with an uncle who was an alcoholic, an ex mother and all who was an alcoholic. And then in the meantime tried to start a new life. Getting married on early age and trying to make my marriage work through those addictions, in my own screw-ups and 1 day through the grace of God, I got another job and moved to another state and left everything behind.My mother had died at 55, which is a pretty young age. And at the time that I had left the state that I was living in, and started a new life, I was already halfway there. So I decided to start a whole new life to do my best to travel heal.And live the life that I had always wanted without the addictions, and leave them all behind I'm gonna tell you my story, my truth, what it was like to be a child teenager in my 20s, going through someone else's addictions. And how those addictions caused health problems. Surgeries and everything else that you could possibly think of you'll hear me talk about how I sometimes do miss my mother and certain aspects of her.But not the addictions, you'll hear me talk about how I wish she could have held my children, but knowing that if she were alive. Today, I would pretty much have to live in a whole, nother state and make sure to protect my children from my mother. And sometimes I compare what life is like.Now, to what it used to be, and how in shock and awe, I actually am, that this life is actually a wonderful life to live. Follow me while we talk about clarity. Chaos and the role.No one talks about, because every relationship has to have a designated adult. And what that was like for me, even as a child. Once again, my story is actually a little all too common and will probably hear from other people as well.And their stories and how similar they actually sound to mine. Join me for this long ride here at someone's gotta drive.
