We will help you get your mom off drugs!

Alright, I just got my tonsils removed and it hurts like a mother…
The doctor prescribed me liquid hydrocodone. I used to take quite a few pills and I used to smoke a lot of marijuana about 4 months ago (maybe longer). I’ve read a little about hydrocodone and got a little worried. I want to know if I can get addicted to this stuff if I’m prescribed for my throat? I’m NOT a drug addict and just would like for some peoples experiences or whatever.

Oh I get really tired from this too, is that normal?
I take about 1-2 tablespoons of this a day.
Also, I am no longer abusing pills or any medication and I am no longer smoking marijuana. I am clean from any type of drug besides hydrocodone, because I am taking it now for my throat.

i am a STRUGGLING 24 yr old mother of 3. i lost my job because i was always late for work because my husband would be gone for hours trying to buy drugs. he is addicted to pain pills and since we’ve been married he does not work, help support our kids, pay for anything, or even clean. i do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, taking care of the kids, shopping, bills and im going to college on top of all it. he is so lazy! all he does is sit on the computer paying games, or in front of the tv. every time i threaten to leave, he says he’ll try harder, or get a job, or something, but its always empty promises. i want him out of my house. i dont trust him around the kids anymore. im scared though because im afraid he will get mad and try to get the kids and keep them from me. and i dont want to get in trouble for knowing about his problem and not turning him in. someone told me that i could have my kids taken away for knowing about his drug use and not reporting it. is this true? plz help!!
listen jordan im not a dumb as* i left him before, and he came up to my moms house and took our son.. left the girls.. there was nothing i could do at the time because authorities said he was “parenting” not kidnapping. i did not know about his drug addiction at this time because it was years ago. i left him for cheating. i think he would want to take them so he can freeload off the state. if you have children you get food, medical, cash.. etc.. he may he is an addict and does what he can to soak off anybody.. even the state

I think my husband is addicted to video games. On the days he have school, he comes home at 4:30 and goes straight to the computer to play WoW. He stays on until 3 or 4am every night. The days he don’t have school, he wakes up and the first thing he does is get on the computer to play it and he stays there all day until 3 or 4 am. I’ve tried to talk to him about this but he gets upset, I don’t know what else to do. I am often put on hold for the game or if he is doing something with me or my daughter he’s constantly running back and forth to the game. We moved to CA from LA and I have no family or friends here to socialize with. I would go and do my own thing but I have no where to go or no one to go with. I go to school at night and he stays with my daughter and the entire time he is on the game while she is in her room playing. I’m thinking about getting a divorce because I don’t think that things will never change, today is Mother’s Day and once again he is playing WoW.

I have just recently found out that my mother, who lives in Lemoore, California, has gotten addicted to heroin. This is because she had a miscarriage. And I didn’t even know that she’s pregnant! It really hurt me that she didn’t even tell me about it, but now all I really want to do is to help her deal with this.

Why do you drink? I asked the same question to my mother and she said because she’s dumb. I told her I wanted a reasonable answer, she answered me with the same thing. But there’s has to be an answer to everything. It’s either because you like how it tastes, you feel on top of everybody, you feel cool, what?!?!?!?! Come’on there’s gotta be a real reason why people addicted to drinking do it! If you know please answer it.

i fear i may be developing type 2 diabetes. my mother was diagnosed at age 47, but there is no other family history of diabetes.

I’m 25 years old and overweight at 5’8″ and 240 pounds. i have slight depression and self medicate with food. i grew up eating fast food daily and to this day still eat fast food often. because of my depression i have terrible eating habits and i’m fairly inactive. it’s embarrassing to say this, but i will eat enough food for 2 or 3 people in one sitting. not only do i eat bad food, i don’t eat regularly. i usually eat nothing all day and then binge at night. i truly feel as though i am addicted to food.

i have read the symptoms for diabetes and i don’t know if i’m being paranoid or if i need to worry.

i drink a lot of water because it’s refreshing…or is it because i have diabetes? i do not feel i urinate anymore than a normal human.

i get incredibly sleepy and have to sleep 10hrs a night…so do i like to sleep, or i have diabetes?

however, i don’t have dry mouth or headaches, i’m 20 years younger than the warning age and i for sure have no unexplained weight loss.

the symptom that had me start to worry is feeling like i’m going to puke when i get hungry. the nausea instantly goes away with even something as small as a peanut or if i ignore the feeling it goes away on it’s own after a minute. i found out that no one else i know feels this so i looked it up and a few people mentioned they have the same problem and they have diabetes (other people have this feeling without diabetes also however).

i have no money to see a doctor- trust me i’d be there rather than on yahoo answers- and i know it’s impossible to diagnose over the internet, but i guess i wanted some input from the details above and from other people who have diabetes.

also, if i do have the beginning stages of type 2 diabetes and i improve my health with exercise and proper eating can i completely eliminate the chance of diabetes?

thanks

well i can start oFF by saying my sister in law put some pretty hurtFul things on her myspace about my mother in law ans me.
Shes not my sister in law yet, I married my husband about three years ago and he joined the army. i moved back home while he was deployed and i am staying with my mother in law. my sister in law and my husbands oldest brother moved into our old house with their new born. the oldest brother is addicted to drugs and i must say my sister in law is a psycho. she used to be with my husbands middle brother (my hubby is the youngest) and was all like i love you aFter only 2 weeks (literally). and then got pregnant by the other. we used to be cool. well i thought. she would come visit while my husband was away and come talk. what she was really doing was coming over and telling me that my mother in law was saying all these terrible things about me. i thought it was true….(some was some wasn’t… she exaggerated ALOT) but we moved away,,, drama Free…. and then my daughter and i moved home so i could Finish school. well my brother in law just went into rehab. adn my mother and i Frequently talk about what is going on. sometimes she just needs someone to talk to. shes trying to help her son. but hes been in and out oF rehab. we thought this time would be diFFerent but hes already trying to come home. And my sister in law wnats him to come home i think because she wants a break From the baby who is 6 months old now. she tells me that she wishes she could just check herselF in and stay somewhere For a Few days but she dosent truset anyone with the baby. i think shes paranoid they will take her baby away. but anyway. she posted some stuFF on her myspace about people being Fake. meaning me or my mother in law. i supported her. and i they asked For my input and i gave it. i wasnt being Fake. i dont kno iF i should bring this up to her or my mother in law. i dont want to create drama but she has hurt my Feelings with this, and she also talks about me as well. ONe other incident that happend… was i went out with my brother in law. as Friends… and i mentioned this to her… and she acted jelous (he dosent want anything to do with her because he thinks shes crazy as well because he dated her) it wasnt so much the jelouse that bothered me it was that she acted like i diddnt deserve his company. when we talked about this she had said that she diddnt think he and i could keep each others company, that we had absolutly nothing in common and that we were polar opposites. he and i agreed that it was nich to have each others company. there are more things. she just Feels that she is above me and my new Family. im sorry this im probably complicating but my mother in law will be home soon and i dont kno iF i should jus tshut up or say somthing. i really want to cuss my sis in law out… i dunno.

I am against abortion, but if a mother choose to take her unborn baby life, that is her decision to make, plus it won’t cost the tax payer any money for the state to take care of it. But these women who are on drugs, drinking and smoking while they are pregnant. That can cost tax payer a lot of money when it comes to us having to pay for a child that is addicted or have other health problems because of their self centered selfish mother. So if you are going to complain about mother who abort their child. Shouldn’t you be complaining about these mothers who don’t give two cents about their child welfare?

Soon to be a father fighting against smoking, drugging and alcoholic mothers.
Pax, I would agree but there is one slight problem. Why would a kid need to worry about cancer if his mother hadn’t have been smoking in the first place?

There is far more important news going on in the world to be constantly hearing about a freak bad mother & another dead drug addicted actor. It’s turning into another Anna Nicole Smith story that won’t go away for months. TV needs to focus on real issues and shows like ET need to be banned. That’s my opinion.

I play world of warcraft for about 5 hours a day, after I spend my time studying 6 hours. I have a promising 3.6 in my bio-chem major and are in my second year. I don’t get along with people, unless I have to which I can do well. I don’t appreciate the company of others and would rather much be alone, and have spent most of my life in the confines in my room which has made me happy. My mother seems to think I am depressed and should get some friends, but I keep trying to reassure her that I am happy and content. Why does she believe that I am addicted? Do you think I am addicted even though I get my work done?

I need to break all ties with my mother and sister, but due to my mothers age and health I feel guilty. As a child my mother was very physically abusive and mentally. She plays one sibling against another, she loves to make you feel guilty. My mother is 73 years old and I am 52 and she is still controlling my life. She complains that she is in constant pain, but will go to bingo or the casino every chance she gets. I can’t take anymore of her complaining about how broke she is, and that she is lonely and bored and that is why she gambles so much. Everything is about her, it always was. My sister is also addicted to gambling and comes to me for money to pay her rent or car payment. How do I back away without the guilt driving me crazy. I really need help! I am giving serious thought to moving as far away as possible to avoid them, but my husband cannot just up and quit his job and I have my beautiful children and grandchildren to think about. My husband hates my mother and sister, he thinks they are self serving and I agree. I just cannot listen to anymore poor me, they are doing nothing to help themselves.

my boyfriend smokes weed ,and cigarretes everyday and he drinks beer practically every other day…..i love so much that i even look up to him he is so smart and has so much potential but he doesnt realize it.. i try to ge him to quit by giving him a choice then all he does is try to sneak n do it… he says he not addicted but wat i dont understand is if hes not addicted and he “claims” he would do anything for me y is it so hard to quit.. i just dont want us to end up like my mother and father .. my mother loves my dad but they wouldnt have as many problems if my dad wouldnt do drugs.. i just want him to realize that he can do so many greater things but he could go further if he quits.. it hurts me so much to see how great and smart he is but these drugs are holding him back…its like they have him on a chain so he cant reach his sucess in life… i just want him to do everything i believe he can do …but its hard if he cant even realize hes addicted….

My mom used to be a wonderful mother, more than 10 years ago. She used to cook for us (my sister, and step-father), everyday. She used to clean, and exercise all the time. She was like my best friend, and was always there for me. Until April 16th, 1999 (her 31st birthday party). I was 13 going on 14 in May, at that time. My step-dad’s birthday was also April 16th, ironically, so they had a huge birthday party. It was pretty fun, but went to sleep at my cousins later that evening. After that night, things have never been the same again =(. Apparently, she was in the basement that night with my step-father and his friends. His friends offered him a hit I guess, so he then offered one to my mom as well. His friend advised to not let her take one, but she insisted to try it. It’s crazy how trying it just once, can change your life forever. I had no idea how bad the drug was until they both got addicted to it.

As the time flew by, they fell into a serious crack addiction. The addiction eventually tore their marriage apart. My mom lost her job, and became a pathological liar. They would have several different crackheads in and out of the house often at night. I knew what they were doing, because I began to find broken crack pipes and such. My mom told me straight up that she craves it, and it gives her a rush after every hit. The smell of it was so awful. It smelt to me, like someone who has bad breath sneezing or something. She started cheating on my step-dad with his friends, and not showing up for weekends at a time. He began not coming home at night, and returning early in the morning to get ready for work. When I would confront her about it, she would never listen. Since I was a teenager, I would just come and go as I please. I saw it as freedom, but eventually got pregnant. I started ditching school, and then dropped out once I turned 16. No one stopped me, and I wasn’t thinking about the consequence. They would give my sister money, and let he sleep at her friends when ever she wanted. My sister was young, but knew what they were addicted to. However, she just saw it as freedom as well. After having my son at 15 years old. Things became rough. They stopped paying for the water, electricity, and phone. I had to move in with my grandparents, due to the poor living environment. I told my grandparents about their problem, and they got together with my step-dad’s parents to attempt an intervention with my mom and step-dad. They went to their house and stayed talking to them for hours. They all cried together, so I thought they finally seen the light. Unfortunately, it did not work though. The problem became worse. My mom and sister’s dad eventually divorced, and sold the house.

My mom then met another guy, who had a good head on his shoulders. He was not into drugs or alcohol, and has an awesome career. He purposed to my mother, then wanted her to move in with him. He lived in a town 2 hours away, so my sister and I followed. We actually thought that since we were moving away from the drugs, that it would bring our mom back to how she used to be. It didn’t work though. She found the drugs rather quickly, and began to disappear on him. We would be at home with him while she was gone. He would be going crazy and not understand why this was happening. He didn’t know of my moms problem. We couldn’t stand to see him like that, so we told him the truth. He was devastated, but at the same time wanted to help her. After years of trying to help her, he finally divorced her. During that time though, he hired a private investigator to follow her. He stated that she has turned to prostitution. He divorced her at the beginning of this year.

After the divorce, she was missing for about two months. She began dating and using multiple men for their money. Once they became aware of her drug problem, they kicked her out. She is still in the little town, and calls me once in awhile from a different guys number. Every time I talk to her, she says she is clean, and is trying to get her life back together. Which has been her same lie for years. I’m at the point where I don’t care anymore, but feel like I still need to do something about it. I have tried to call intervention, and have always tried to talk to her about it. Nothing works, and all she does is lie and deny. What should I do? It’s been 10 years already. Please help..

Hello, I am a 14 year old male and I have to ask am I addicted to a video game? Now let me just start the story off with that my mother hates it when I play this game. I usually play after a few hours after I wake up until a few hours before I go to bed, with several breaks in between to talk to friends, eat dinner, etc. Now she says I have not been out of the house, but under the circumstances I don’t want to. My friends are all lazy and don’t want to leave their house, my active friend has a broken leg so it won’t work out, I hate spending time with my parents. So am I really addicted or just bored and I am just time killing? Thanks!

P.S. I don’t like to just walk around random places…I like to walk around with friends.

Hi all. I am 31 yrs. old and I have a sister 29 and twin brothers that are 27. Our mother abandoned us when I was 11. Then she came back into our lives and left again when I was 19. Now not only did we lose our mother but we all moved away from the town of Syracuse, NY to diff. homes in Upstate, NY. We also lost her entire side of the family; aunts, uncles and cousins. We were all very close. My mother had nine siblings. When I turned 30 my mother sent me a card after not hearing from her in 11 years. I decided to stay in contact (I had 2 children of my own) via e-mail and snail mail. I got an e-mail one day from my aunt that I had never met (married to my uncle) stating that my mother had breast and some type of hormonal cancers and was going in for surgery. I live in Florida and my entire family is in NY. My children and I traveled up to NY (even though I am injured) for Thanksgiving. We went to see my mother and a couple of my aunts and uncles. Had a great time, but my mother acted like she never left my siblings and I. Anyway, upon traveling back to FL. and during the X-Mas Season, I sent out Christmas Cards to 20 family members that I hadn’t seen in like 20 years or less. My children and I even sent my mother Christmas gifts. To this day, I have not received an e-mail, letter or phone call. Does anyone know how I should approach this subject? What would you do? I saw pics of her at my cousins house for Christmas so I know she was okay enough to go there. Do I sound selfish? My brothers went to live with their father who is a horrible man and they became heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol at a young age (they are not going to have a normal life-because they don’t know what one is) and my sister does not want anything to do with her and she is upset with me because we went to see her.

i won’t lie i am literally addicted to myspace, seriously i am always online 24/7., but for some reason my mother hates that, i really don’t know why, because i have some of her cousins that her age that checks my profile almost every week but yet she still trips. Well as you all know myspace has im , and me and my friend were im’ing each other.. when i got up 2 go outside to the neighbors house (so i minimized) it and my nosy as mother pulled it up and started reading…well she overlooked , wen my friend assk if i was a virgin n i tol him ya i styll have my v card but i dnt kno 4 how long.j/p. n he sed dnt worry he’ll b my first. n i sed lol keep thinking so. But all of a sudden when i come back like 4 hrs later she wants 2 tell me how I put my self so out there and that she doesn’t want me on for the rest of the night..This is not the only thing my mom has been intefering in she stands outside my room and listen 2 me, she has recently put a baby monitor in my room.PLEASE HELP ME!!

My mother is an addicted Oprah fan… and today she had an appointment during the time i aired. She is very disappointed that she missed it. So i was wondering where i could find the full episode(hopefully) so she may watch it. I have searched You-Tube, Google Video and others but have not found even parts longer than 4 mins. If you have any idea where i might find it, it would really help me. Thanks!

I am sorry if this post comes off a bit long.

I am 16 years old. My father was an abusive man who had depression. My unmarried Mother decided to let him go when I was 6 years of age. I have been living with my Mother, and her parents all my life. My Mother is dependent on their money for all her and my own needs. She can not supply anything for herself or myself because she will not get a job. There is nothing physically wrong with her that would make her unable to obtain a job or be able to do one. Lately I have been trying to influence her to get a job. Tell her all the positive things about getting a job. “You’ll have your own money.” “You’ll feel good!” She doesn’t listen to anyone. She seems selfish, and feels everything is just fine the way she is. My mother does have psychogenic seizures when I talk to her about problems. It seems to cause her too much stress… So I have decided to talk to others about my problems, such as my Aunt and boyfriend. They agree with me. My mother has the maturity level of a fifteen year old. I need my Mother to realize her age. The other day we were in Walmart, and she asked me, “Who’s that fat girl?” She said this right in front of them.. They heard her and gave her a dirty look. Which then made my mother angrily tell the girl to MOVE! Then an hour later on my facebook, one of the girls was stating that they did not appreciate what my Mother did to her friend. I sent her a message back, apologizing and asking her to understand that I had nothing to do with this. She embarrassed me. Last night I was trying to tell her once again how I was worried for her future, when my grandparents are gone. I told her that if she wants to have anything in life that she should start working now. I told her that I had been talking to people I trust that are close to me to ask for help on how to talk to her about this. She told me it was wrong to talk to them about this, and that I was “JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!” And then threatened to tell my Aunt that I did not want to have a sleepover with my cousin this week… (Which didn’t bother me) But what an immature statement, am I right? She has been telling me that I am like my father since I was 7 years old. Everyone around me says I am nothing like my father, who was an abusive, drug addicted, unintelligent, selfish man. I am just 16 years old, please help me.

Thank you so much for your time and input.
