I dont really know what to say on this post. Mum was re telling me a hilarious story about my sister and a drug dealer which I want to retell but I guess a story about a Drug dealer and a girl with Down syndrome tends to raise a few questions.
So let's set the scene. Our upbringing has been an interesting one... to say the least. Not just to those looking from the outside in but those in the know - social workers, addicts, Drug key workers ect ect.
They admit they have never come across a situation like ours and never even heard of or probably never will. You see Mum was brought up in America, her Dad was head of the American National grid and a little bit of a Donald trump equivalent at the time. In short mum had everything she could have ever wanted but nothing that one needs. As the story goes the absence needs filling of which included a very heavy dose of Crack, Smack, Alcohol and every other mind altering substance under the sun. With a usage like Mum's people dont tend to make it 10 years, amongst other serious health issues mum has made it nearly 40 years. In addition she has held down jobs, been successful at them to. Hasn't ended up in prison or homeless or had her children taken away from her or lost a limb or in the majority of cases just died. In addition she has successfully raised to children one who has quite serious behavoural problems and Downsyndrome ( not me just in case you were thinking )
So the scene has been set let me begin.
" I was just trying to fucking score and flag down the smack van and your sister was being such a nightmare. Turned around and she had kicked one of her shoes off . Was no where around. Couldn't let her walk Round barefoot - it was pissing it down - so I tied my size 8 Nikes round her feet and ankles and went barefoot me sen!! Managed to flag down the smack mobile again your sister sat down on the pavement behind me - next thing I know some tramp is putting one of my brand new Nikes on and he's going for the other one your sister has thrown in the gutter. Had to ask for them back off that tramp smackdealer Ali was getting right passed off coz he was late for prayers at the mosque. "
It wasn't till mum went to rehab she saw fit to tell me.
Absolutely pissed myself for a week.
