When I was 8, everything was going okay. I was with my mom we had a good life, but sadly she got back on drugs. We was in and out of States Custody with my grandparents for over a year. My mom got us back, and she went to her friends house. They tried to overdose her on some pills, I didn't know what to do. They took phones away from us and everything. Someone called the law and my Mamaw came. When I saw my mom laying there I thought she died, so I ran to my Mamaw and said "I can't do this anymore, I want my dad back. Why? Why did he have to leave us here? I wanna die." We went to the hospital and they said if they wouldn't have gotten there when they did, I would've lost my mom. We went and lived with my grandparents and my mom went to rehab. When we lived with our grandparents, it was really bad. Me and my sister had to sit on the couch everyday, we couldn't get up. We couldn't go outside or anything. It was like I was held hostage, but with my own family..
