This song is about Eminem being the victim of Munchausen's Syndrome by proxy*. He has mentioned it in many other songs ("Cleaning Out My Closet" comes to mind) and has talked about it in interviews. It's an extremely straightforward song. He begins it by stating that he knows people are probably tired of hearing about his mom, but that he wants to tell the story of how he became hooked on valium as a kid. He goes on to describe his mother poisoning him, his teachers noticing the fact that he seemed medication, the fact that it gave him stomachaches. In the chorus, he is realizing he has become her, essentially - a drug addict.
