As I sit here looking around all I see is judgment. Every person walking by whispering or looking my way doesn't see me. The real me. They see every wrong call I made every bad action I've taken and put me under a microscope of failure. I am not my failures. I am a real person whom tries every day to be a better person a better mom and all around a good human being. I want to be seen as a person who's overcome addiction who's gone through trauma and came out on the other side. I want my kids to be proud of me for all I've overcome and all my successes and accomplishments. I want them to know I never quit nor would I ever give up on them no matter what. This is a fight to be seen. This is a fight to grow from being seen as a failure to being seen as a human. This has become my life and my fight for now.
