Thanks for the great answers!!

I want her to stop. I am so angry at her I could scream. She has done this my entire life and does not care about anything other than RXs and over the counter drugs. My dad threatened to leave her if she abused again, he even dispensed her RXs from a safe… well she found the key to the safe. He knows she found the key to the safe and he didn’t leave her. I’ve come to the conclusion that I probably won’t have my mom at important events in my life (college graduation, having a baby, buying a home)… my husband is tired of seeing me get hurt by her actions. I want to tell her to clean up or she will be cut out of my life. If she is going down she’s not taking me or my family with her. Please help!
She’s been doing this for 14 years… since I was a pre-teen

She’s 37 years old.
She’s never even had a stable job or her own place to live.
She’s been in prison 3 times, and in jain countless times.

I am her 18-year-old daughter, and I’ve lived with my grandparents (her parents) pretty much my entire life.

My grandparents have pretty much no money and we’re barely making it by, but she constantly calls for money and to move in here.

She makes my grandma have mental breakdowns and drunk herself to death, crying.

I don’t know what to do now, or even in the future.

I know that there is going to be a time when I have a home and kids and she’ll be doing the same thing to me.

..If she’s not dead.

Worst of all, I love her. I’ve tried to talk to her on the phone to tell her she’s a grown woman and she always babbles about how sorry she is and crys and I say its okay, her only resposibility is herself and she needs to take care of herself! She HAS to, WE CAN’T. I told her we have no money to send her, we’re barely scraping by and she just goes on about how she has no one and no help and she’s starving and..

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!
Okay, the statement about not following in her footsteps was unneeded. Obviously, I am not. Even my manner of typing should reveal I’m educated and stable. I have a scholarship and am going to college, and I know I will lead a succuessful life.

My grandparents are unable to cut her off, she’s their daughter. She’s mentioned killing herself lately.

While I live with them, I can never ignore her existance.

And I will never be able to completely. Despite EVERYTHING, she has always treated me like she loves me. She is my mother.

It is “easier said than done.”
And its really taking an emotional toil on me,
but more so my grandma…
I try so hard but I just can’t make this all go away!

I miss so much school because of panic attacks and break-downs and stress.

I think I make myself sick from stress.

I haven’t even mentioned half of the crazy stuff that goes on because I don’t want pity.

I just want to move away and leave everything behind

but at the same time I can’t abandon my family

I love them!
I KNOW only she can!
I even told her that but she just cries more and it kills me.
But its the truth!
Why wont she just grow up!

I probably do need a psychatrist. =\
I went to one before, but she didn’t help at all. I never got to tell her anything, she just assumed, and all she ever did was teach me how to breathe. So I quit going.

Just bought a new dell, and although it has most of the microsoft (vista) games, it does not have Mahjong Titans. I have another, less than a year old, Fujitsu laptop (also vista) that DOES have mahjong titans on it. I tried copying the folder between the two computers, and although it looks just like the other game folders, it does not work. I don’t know my way around Vista, and I’m doing it so my mahjong-addicted mother finally has peace of mind. Help?

I’m doing a media short film about a person who’s mother is addicted to drugs and how it affects him/her mentally. Would anyone care to elaborate on their experiences, whether you were the user or someone else? Anything is appreciated, thanks :)
