Envenom

This 500 word very short story is for the #panic contest, it's a non-fiction about overcoming my current life's biggest hurdle, it's what broke me and what I'm slowly working on figuring out.

My mother told me only but recently "I thought that if I could get up everyday for work, and feed my children, that it wouldn't affect you guys." But how painfully wrong she was.

This story was SO hard to write in 500 words, the whole thing typed out was close to 1000 so I really had to cut back and real in a lot of stuff, I hope it's still good and I would appreciate any and all feed back! Remember to drink water and I love you and I'm so proud of you, I see how hard you're working and trying, and don't forget how much u matter <3
