i don’t have any contact with my natural mother and haven’t for a long time, my whole life she hasn’t been around and on my 21st bday, she called and told me that it was another year that i ruined her life. she has lots of problems and i wish there was a way to help her, but i honestly don’t want any contact with her, this is mainly for my grandmothers sake who has had to deal with all this and i want to help her so she won’t have to anymore. any ideas?
take her drugs away and talk to a psychologist and doctor. They should be able to help.
A.A. or N.A. pamphlets…
s.w.a.k.
It is pretty sad… but you may have to turn her in.. she will have some legal problems, but she will get the drug treatment and care she needs to turn her life around
its her choice to get help….dont hang with her if you dont want to but dont try to fix her b/c she cant change unless shes willing
Unfortunately, drugs have power over your mom, not love and family. I am so sorry for this loss in your life. Yes, at this point, she is a loss. For your own sake, I would stay clear of her. Know that somewhere in there is a person, but that person is not the one saying these horrible abusive things to you. You and your grandmother should pray. An intervention wouldn’t work because it sounds like she just isn’t capable of caring right now. You and your grandmother could speak to a therapist or join Al-Anon, which is for family members of abusers. Call AA to see which group may suit your needs. Take care of yourself and your grandmother. You mother is on her own.
try to get in touch with a Good Mental Health specialist
they should have counselors and or know of treatment centers
I know this has been hard but I feel that this just may be a cry for help I Wish You All the Best
take your grandmother and move away
you can only help those want to be helped
there’s isn’t much you can do
people are always doing what they want
and you have to wait till she wants help or lead her to wanting to be helped
If your mom is a drug addict there really isn’t too much anyone can do. You can talk to your mom and try to get her to go to a rehab – but she doesn’t have to listen. Just try to be there for your Grandmother as much as you can.
There isn’t anything wrong with you talking to your mom about how you feel and how you want to help her. Be honest with her about how her actions are affecting you and the rest of her family, see if she would be willing to get some help.
I know it is hard but the only way your mom is going to get help is if she actually wants it.
Your mom sounds like posion. I’m sorry that you have that kind of mother. You sound very mature and well adjusted. There are ways to help your grandma and not have to have contact with your mother. You can help grandma with household chores, going grocery shopping, and other stuff. Be there for your grandma if she needs to vent about your mother.
This may sound wrong but have you thought about giving the police a little tip off. Maybe your mom needs a big wake up call.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you or your gramma can do to help at this point of time. Until your mother is ready to take the first step and admit she has a drug problem ,help may be out of your hands. It is very hard for someone with an addiction to come to that point in their life. Drugs are very powerful and ruin alot of people and families.Alot of addicts seem to blame their problems on others because again, it’s a way of them not facing up to the problems they themselves created.Usually ,once a person is on drugs for so many years,it’s become a way of life. Just know that the decisions your mother made were not based on a normal persons decision making skills. Drugs had a role in what she may have chosen. Do your best in your heart to know that deep down, she is a mother .Make the best choices for you and learn from what you have seen and experienced. When and if, your mom admits she has a problem,stand beside her 100%..Good luck
the best advice i can say to u is that u shild just sit her down n talk to her. i mean tell her wat drugs will do 2 her n that u dont want her to die. becuz u love her 2 much
There is no help for addicts unless they are willing to help themselves. She will get tired of the streets. But don’t expect any change intil she is ready she has a addiction not an obsession.
GO SEE HER EXCEPT IT AND GET HER HELP!!!
take it as a loss. if she has been on drugs that long its done. it sounds like she will not stop for anyone. & if you take away her drugs her body will go into shock (depending on the drugs), she could even die. maybe talk to her and see if she would be willing to go to like a facility to help her. do not take it into your own hands.
I have the same problem with my “dad” Drugs cause inmeasurable damage to every part of people physically, mentally and subconsciously. Ive done plenty of many of them to know.(not bragging) sometimes with drugs you are better off feeding the fire until it burns out, rather than putting it out. your intentions are good, I wish you luck.
introduce her to a man named JESUS
