      Memes âGet to know the people in Leeâs life
đŞ: Someone in my museâs family.
( Get to delve into Leeâs forgotten past that I seriously need to write up as a thing on here but anyways. This gets into triggers with mentions of mental illness and drug use, so Iâm putting it under a cut. )
Letâs meet Lee, before he was Lee,âs biological mom, Annie. If one word could sum up her life, it was âdisappearedâ.Before it applied to herself.
Like her son, Annie didnât have the best life.She ignored all her troubles and dealt with her undiagnosed bipolar disorder and occasional episodes of anger, with excessive drug use and partying. And it was at one such party that she met Leeâs biological father. They were together for a year before they married and not long after she became pregnant with Lee and (surprise surprise) his fraternal twin sister.In the beginning it was good. Annie thought for the first time in her life, something  great was finally happening for her. She was happy.It wasnât long after the kids were born, however, that the whole happy family imagefell apart. However brief it had existed to begin with. Her husband left without a word.Annie began to fall back into that life of drugs and partying, hopping from one man to the next.With the partial hope one would stay, this time. Still. She tried to be there for her children. Be there to give them some happy memoriesdespite her struggles.When the twins were at the age of five was when tragedy struck again. Her daughter had gone missing, abducted right in front of their home. Never to be found. It was a bad neighborhood, most werenât surprised.What little Annie had held together before that point was gone.Partying continued with more fervor, as did the drugs. Her rages and unstable mood returned in full force. As Lee grew up, some men managed to stay, one long enough to leave her with two new additions to the family before promptly vanishing like the rest. And not long after, another stayed and stayed for good. Despite everyone wishing he wouldnât. But he had a stable job,put food on the table,  and turned a blind eye to Annieâs less than healthy life style. Even if he was a âlittleâ rough with the kids. It was good enough for her.Beggars couldnât afford to be chooser.
