My Mother Gave Me My First OxyContin
<p>suring my sophomore year of college, when I was 19, my mother gave me my very first OxyContin, and I fell in love with it. There were extenuating circumstances (there always are): I was deeply depressed and threatening suicide, she was terrified for me and on Oxy herself, and it was 2000, when we didn’t know what we do now.</p>
<p>Reserve judgment or don’t. Reaching some Final Truth about my mother’s innocence or guilt doesn’t interest me. What interests me is not what she did, but rather why she did it: out of love. Because love can be as destructive as it is redemptive.</p>
