Tbh I haven't been to many museums; most of them cost money I don't really have. I'd probably be into science and history museums the most, but I'd definitely would need to go with someone else. Part of the fun would be being able to talk with someone else about what we're seeing
That really depends on the city. Washington DC for instance, most of the museums are free. The big art museum in my city is free and all the local university's art students just hang out there all day cause it's quiet and a lot of hidden spots to chill and read. Our science museum costs money though.

One of the last times I saw my mom, she came to me with a swollen black eye and a dislocated shoulder. Her hair had been crudely hacked off with scissors by her bf, and she was skinny as a rail. My grandma and I took her to the ER for her shoulder, and she begged and begged me to not tell paramedics her bf did that to her. I kept my mouth shut and she was dead within the year. The idea that maybe she could still be alive had I said something still keeps me awake at night sometimes.
I'm gonna be honest. If you said something, she would have just denied it and refused to press charges. Nothing would have changed. Don't beat yourself up over the choices your mom made. Fentanyl is such a fucked up drug. It's been all over my hometown the last decade. My childhood best friend got hooked on it and lost his life with it. I'll check out the local paper's website and see mugshots of people I grew up with mixed up in the drug.
