My birth mother was a meth addict. Because of that, my little sister and i are adopted now. i remember how my mom would be gone for days at a time, then come home and either be really moody and sleep all the time or be anxious and depressed. she would always be picking at her face, and her lips were always cracked and bleeding. she would also scratch at her arms a lot. her skin turned pretty raw from that. her hair was always dry and dull and falling out. the day i went into foster care was the day the drug bust happened. i saw my mom taken away in handcuffs by the SWAT team. now, i am not allowed to have absolutely no contact with my biological family until i am 18. 2 years doesn't seem like much, but for me it's an eternity. please, if you dont want your life thrown away, dont end up like my mother. its not worth it. all it takes is ONE TIME to get hooked on it. DO NOT DO IT! not even once
