Why I'm Grateful For My Mother's Death

By Dale F.J. Mitchell

A boy's journey, and a man's reckoning, with the only world he ever knew: a home steeped in alcoholism and chaos. The 60s, 70s and 80s, shaped me in ways no child should endure. Eventually, the pain became so overwhelming that I ran from everything familiar just to survive. I was that young man, fighting through rejection, tragedy, and near-total collapse, clawing my way toward a life beyond addiction and despair. When my mother fell into the grip of Alzheimer's, the past I had escaped came crashing back, demanding to be faced. Only then, while standing in the crossfire between who she was and who I had become, did I finally uncover what I had been searching for all along.
