Re: If you woke up tomorrow and realized you'd been transported 10 years back in time...

I dunno. Even with hindsight I don’t know if I could change much about the last ten years. I don’t even know if it would be a good idea to do some stuff —like, my dad died 8 years ago but he was so fucked up by 10 years ago that I would be afraid to try and help him sober up and get clean. I could take the day off work and go spend the day he died making sure he didn’t OD and walk out on the freeway and get hit. I don’t remember what year it was when he dove through a lady’s window armed with an illegally modified assault rifle, or I’d try to get her contact info and warn her.

If I had my current phone and videos and stuff with me I could show my mom a scan of her death certificate and pictures of all the accidents and wounds and video of her laying comatose in her bed before she died, and try to convince her to sober up sooner so she would be eligible for a new liver, and get screened for non-hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2010 and maybe get a full masectomy.

I dunno. I finished my bachelors twelve years late, a month before my mom died, with money from selling my grandparents’ house after my dad and his older brother died. My dad had spent all my parents’ money on drugs by 2008, so without the money from the sale I couldn’t have finished school or paid for mom’s care. I would’ve liked to save my dad’s older brother but “hey uncle get most of your colon removed right now” would be a hard sell. Maybe if I could convince my dad’s younger brother to help?

I guess keeping up with my daily crunches and treadmill walking would be helpful. If I could look up past winning lotto numbers beforehand I could afford to finish school sooner and get everyone better medical care even if I couldn’t save them. Sigh.

Hey, I could’ve lost a bunch of weight, gotten compromosing video of the Chump, and put him in jail somehow! (Would’ve been in my mid twenties with long blonde hair and huge boobs.)

SA—and reading the comment below made me realize I left out being nicer to and spending more time with my mom that wasn’t kicked off by medical crises. And I’d try to get her to make things up with her best friend a lot sooner than right before she died. I mean, I did try at the time, but mainly by leaning on my mom; maybe if I’d leaned on her friend too things might’ve worked out better.

Are you Drunk Mom Anon? I've often wondered how you're doing and hope that despite your losses you have some joy and peace in your life these days.

AYRT—Thanks for the good wishes. I’m one of them, yeah. There was at least one other who may have been younger than me; they posted less often but mentioned living at home with their parents and siblings. Dunno if their mom managed to sober up; I hope so.

My life is definitely more peaceful than it was a year and a half ago and a lot less chaotic than it’s been since I was a kid. There’s been joyful moments, but mostly I just aim for content. I have a lot of work to do on the house (and my mental and physical health tbh) but I’m working on it.

I’m kind of glad my parents aren’t around to see the Chump’s shitshow. My dad was so far left he made me look centrist, and when I broke the election news to my mom in the nursing home she thought I was joking, because no way would people vote for such a disgusting idiot.
