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&rsquo;t know what we do now.</p> <p>Reserve judgment or don&rsquo;t. Reaching some Final Truth about my mother&rsquo;s innocence or guilt doesn&rsquo;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> <p><a href="https://elemental.medium.com/my-mother-gave-me-my-first-opioid-2cae96171151"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
