The Biggest Mistake in My Life

There was a period of time when I was nineteen years of age, my mother broke up with my father.  My part to play in this is that I had resented the fact my mother did what she did and because I felt so hurt inside.  I took advantage of her and began to hurt her by stealing money from her bank card. Over three months I had managed to spend well over $10,000 of her hard earned money all on crack cocaine, hotels, etc.  Due to my actions my mother she could no longer have the chance to start to get ahead financially with her bills and payments.  The biggest lesson I learned with this situation is it takes hard work and time to make money.  To take it away from someone you love is taking them for granted and that is the worst feeling you could ever have.
