Son of Atomic
Regarding my mom, Atomic Kitten
I am Atomic Kitten's son. I am writing to let you know that my mother overdosed on prescription pain medicine last weekend. Whether there was actual intent, I do not know. God I hope not. She just hasn't been the same since the kids at Sandy Hook were killed. Anguish best describes how it hit her. She has internalized all the gun violence and hate talk and just hit tilt.
I am writing today to explain my appeal to Wishadoo. My mom has been doing medical transcription backlog work. She has 1 client who is 4 months late paying her and another one close to 60 days past due. I have been able to pay utilities and have part of the rent, but am appealing to people here to please donate whatever they can to cover the rest. We need right around $1500 (SF is expensive).
I come to you all because my mom has been posting on DU for some 7-8 years. I heard her tell a friend once how DU has moved her further and further left politically. I know she is grateful for that education. I don't have extended family to ask for assistance, so I am coming to you. Mom will be as the doctor said off the grid for a while, but anything you can offer whether it's financial assistance or good vibes will be appreciated.
Thank you for reading this.

"My mother ate a bottle of pills, so send me money."
The only thing I can say is, "You are a piece of shit, Son of Atomic."

How sick is it that this piece of dump shit uses the death of his obviously mentally ill and drug addict mother and the deaths of some school kids to beg for money.
Re-read the OP: the Son of DUmshit never said she died of the OD Just that she OD'ed.He also mentions that mom is presently under a doctor's care - presumably doing the Thorazine shuffle while she blows another psychiatric evaluation.
Damned DUmmies can't even off themselves without ****ing it up. :banghead:

A proper thank you.
I apologize for my delay in thanking you all for your generosity. I am a full time student at SF State and that keeps me pretty busy. I could not believe my eyes when I logged on 24 hours after I posted the thread.
I am so grateful for the outpouring of good wishes. Mom is completely off the grid, no internet, no news programs. So I copied the thread and responses for my mom to read. She was overwhelmed by it all. I also showed her the Batkid thing yesterday and she loved it. All good therapy for her I think. She's gone on disability for the time being and is in therapy, reading, and she started swimming at the Y again.
You have made it possible for us to transition to this new phase and both mom and I are very grateful. The despair she was feeling was met with love and that is without a doubt the very best medicine.
A special thank you to Wishadoo. Dena helped me every step of the way.
Thank you all so much.
