We will help you get your mom off drugs!

I’m talking about any baby who after it was born had to stay in the hospital to get weaned off the drug of choice their mother was on. I’m in the healthcare profession and I don’t believe in some of the decisions “the system” makes and was wondering what other people thought.

My mother has been a drug addict for, well I guess all of my life, my dad raised me.
Now I’m 23 in college and she’s still in my life…I feel like her mother, talking her through and out of things,sending her money, letting her stay with me, etc.
Sometimes I think it might be so much less stressful to just leave her alone, but then I’d feel like I’d abandoned her…But being her mother/best friend/daughter is really hard and sometimes I know that I’m enabling her.
I know she abandoned me so I could just walk away but I just don’t see it that way..
I have tried almost everything in the book..but she won’t give up the drugs and it hurts the family big time. I feel like the mediator because I’m the only one who still talks to her.
Any advice?

Okay, so my mom was recently invited to facebook by one of her friends, she has only been on it for 2 days ad she is already addicted to it. It’s kinda creepy.
She even started yelling at me because i didn’t know how to upload a picture. What do I do?!?

How to I get her to stop playing so much. There’s so much in the world she is missing out on. Rehab?

Him and his girlfriend have a problem with me and my fiance’. they say they dont like her because of shit she has done in her past. My philosophy. The past is in the past. the past stayed in the past because it wasnt strong enough to make it to your future. i love my fiance to death and my brother is a nothing in my eyes . nothing but a worthless piece of shit drugg addict mother abuser who likes to think he runns the show since my father passed away. I need advice about what to do and how do u get a 20 yr old to go to a rehad willingfully.How do u get a girl to understand how much you love her no matter what the fucked up family says to and about her?

I am my mother’s only daughter of 4 children. I am 24 and the only one she treats like crap.

She tries to fight with me about stupid stuff and then says I am the troublemaker!

She invited me over for my birthday this weekend and told me not to ruin her day with my “bull####”

Then she said I was “just like” my brother who she says argues for no reason and is mentally ill. He is an alcoholic drug addict and I NOTHING like him.

She blamed me for the argument and I ended up telling her I needed to go home because her arguments escalate and she won’t let it go until she wins.

I cried all the way home and my husband believes my mom doesn’t like me because she verbally and emotionally abuses me all of the time.

My counselor says she is bad for my self image and I need to limit my contact as a permanent solution to help me handle her.

She is never going to change, so what do I do?
I cut her off for 6 months and wrote her a letter to explain why she hurts me and why its unhealthy for me to visit her. She told me I was a horrible person for the letter because she has “sacrificed so much” for me and I am an ungrateful b!tch.

Please don’t tell me I need to forgive her and all that. She is an abusive person and she refuses to see how she hurts me and says its all my fault. She says I deserve the treatment and won’t acknowledge that she is abusive.

I cannot subject myself and my future children to this treatment anymore. I need advice for dealing with an abusive parent!

My mom is 41 years old, and plays World of Warcraft about 4 hours a day with my 26 year old and 10 year old brother. is playing it when I get back from school. She is playing it when my dad is at work and my brother is with his friends. I often have
nothing to do.

She has much younger friends on wow but is not abusive or anything like that. Still, it freaks me out that she talks to peeps my age about wow stuff. The books she reads are books that are cheats for wow. My mom and brothers both play is nonstop and hate going out. My dad and I HATE being in one place for more than a while. But, my dad is an anesthesiologist so he is away usually.

My dad and I talked to her about it but she says it is a hobby, even though it is clear that she is addicted to it. She does not neglect anyone but I still feel like we never get to spend time together :( The only time I need her is when she is playing, and not when we have special time.

Please help!!

everyday my mom goes on the computer and plays this game called second life.She dosen’t even want to clean up the house she just wants to sit on the computer chair.I’m 12 and she makes me do all the work. what can i do?

My mom has been taking loratab, xanax, muscle relaxer (not sure what name) and lexapro, for at least 5 years (about), I’m not sure if shes addicted to all of these drugs but I do notice that she really needs to take the pain med all the time. She takes about 4 every single day. She complains that she has back pain, but if this were true why wouldn’t the dr suggest surgery instead of just giving her more pills for years and years?

This last time that I went to visit her she barely left her bed when she wasn’t at work, she seems really in and out of it most of the time.

Do you think she’s addicted? She has a friend that she claims is addicted to pain pills or anything she can get her hands on, and sometimes my mom gives her loratab, but she can’t see that her problem looks the same. Also, how do you confront this situation if she really is addicted? Should I talk to her? Not that I think it would really help, probably just piss her off – did I mention she’s also a nurse. Maybe calling her dr?

he drinks everyday ,and does drugs cocaine,he has a job but not for long he lives with my mom and she’s fed up with it but wont kick him out i guess it’s a bond issue help!

I moved in with her in feb, and things were good but then she lost her job. All she did was do drugs and get really messed up. One day she was to messed up to take me to school. So should i keep her and let her break my heart again for the 100th time or what??

ok…my last question looked wrong. But the MOTHER of this poor child is a crack addict-for 19 years. Been arrested, in and out of rehab, total loser. We tried for cutody and $5000 later we were told that since the child wants to stay with her, that is what they are going with.
Since that court date, she is back on drugs, has ben arrested and now we believe that she is using now.
The child basically is at the grandparents all the time who we are not on good terms with since we took them to court. The grandmother is a “proud” alcoholic-she doesn’t hide it. In fact, they just got a dog and named it “Stoli”.
This crack head has tried to harass me by calling CPS on me saying that I drink wine and an drunk around the kid. (Me and my husband sometimes have a glass of wine with dinner and the kid is the type to go to the mother with exaggerated info) CPS immeadiately saw that it was just harassment and dismissed it. That’s just the beginning. Nightmare! Can anyone relate?
