We will help you get your mom off drugs!

Trying to be as detailed as possible but not more than necessary: my mother is self absorbed. (I guess not really, this thing is long)

I am a young 20 something who’s just moved back in with my mother to regroup. But now that I’m back I remember what drove me out in the first place. In my absence, my teenage sister has started smoking weed. My mother had a bf living w her who she claimed she was gnna marry, even though she knew (everyone knew) he was wrong for her.

One day [if I was here at the time, this would not have happened, and I found out two weeks after the incident occurred] he slaps my sister across the face, right in front of my mom, bc of an argument he and my sis were having abt him mooching off my mom on a cruise she was paying to take him on. No one called the police, my mom did nothing, just told him he had to leave. Yet he comes the very night knocking on the door saying he has nowhere to stay. She lets him. This was Nov, she gave him till the “end of the month”, which i came to find out she meant Jan 31st?

Nooowww, Feb comes, the guy’s finally gone (bc after talking to me, he finally gets the pic that he needs to leave); two weeks later, a guy comes along at her work, in whom she has no attraction nor interest. Till she finds out from her coworker that he’s loaded, retired, and looking for someone to spoil. Then all of a sudden “God told him she’s suppose to be his wife.” Now, look, I believe God does these things, but I believe its suppose to go both ways.

If I have a booger in my nose, I want to be told. I always have been like that, and so are the close ppl I’m close with. But my own warnings and concerns that it may be too soon to be dating someone so seriously (he proposed to her after they’d been dating 3 weeks w an obnoxious ring he’d been working on 8 years, now theyre engaged, but she didn’t tell other fam members), she thinks i’m trying to criticize and attack her.

I want my mother to be happy. Of COURSE I want her to be happy! After seeing her go through so much in my life, I don’t want her putting herself through anything more. She’s been w a man16 yrs [my father] who’s cheated, mooched, destroyed her credit, and moved on for another woman.

Additionally, I’ve noticed some other things that has brought rage, resentment, and restirred some old memories and accompanying feelings. My mother is not the ‘huggy’ type. She’s never been the type to encourage us or tell us we’re good at whatever. She’s never nurtured our interests, just took care of our needs once she and my dad split, for which I am deeply and eternally and exponentially grateful. And yes she’s very regretful & apologetic for her severe verbal abuse in the past, which dates back to as far back as my memories can extend. She’s always been wrathful, sarcastic, and heavily insulting to both my sister, and, esp., me, whom she’s always resented for being like my father.

Seems like she’s dropped old habits for new ones. My sister’s addicted (idc wtf everyone has to say abt it, she feels she cant stop, she told me so) to marijuana…….. My parents are west indian, so we NEVER grew up this way bc it’s considered disrespectful and distant, but my sister spends all her time in her room w the door closed. She sleeps all the time, she eats in there w the door closed, watches tv w the door closed– and my mom never even noticed!

When we have random pleasant conversations, my mother somehow shifts the focus of the conversation to something she went through, and then the conversation’s about her life again. Idk if she even notices she does that. If we’re having a conversation abt something, she’ll just talk over me about something totally different and irrelevant. If I’m trying to share something w her, like how I got the croissants to be so flaky, she’ll walk away– RIGHT while I’m talking! If she doesn’t like what you’re saying to her, she’ll either raise up the music if we’re in the car, or if it’s over the phone, she’ll hang up in my face. It’s like only she needs to be heard, and what you say, if it’s not 1. positive, and 2. about/ relating to/ directed to/ pertaining to her, it’s not important, and thus not worthy of being heard.

Now that she’s dating this guy, when we try to talk/ spend time w her, she always acts like we’re bothering her. If i call while she’s w him, she answers, not ‘hello?’ but “WHAT?” Idk what she’s told this guy, but several incidents have led me to believe that she’s told him we don’t like him. Everytime me & my sis try to talk to her abt her distance and her perceived self-absorption, she only gets overly defensive. She blames our unwillingness to accept the guy (which is bs), telling us in not so many words on frequent and unwarranted occasions to fuck

After 7 months after my partners (beaus) father passed away, his mother found a new boyfriend. She promised that he would never stay at the house, never sleep over, never have family dinners and never move in. This changed 2 weeks later. There is now a massive rift between Beau and his mother. It’s almost been a year now and the new boyfriend and Beau still don’t talk. Andrew (the new bf) is an old family friend. We live at beaus mothers place, and we never have dinner there anymore as Andrew is always in Beaus seat at the dinner table, and we end up having to babysit the dog and the younger sister (14, Bri) while they go out and have a life. it makes me sick that she can continue having the time of her life, when Beau is still greiving for his father.
It is coming up to Beaus 21st, and she doesn’t want to throw him a 21st as she is so caught up in her own life and her holiday she is planning with Andrew.
To top things off, last night we got home at 12 midnight, and heard LOUD sex noises coming from her room. I can’t seem to understand why she is so selfish. Beau and I both want her to be happy, but can she not have dignity? I live in her house with Beau, so I have to respect her, but How can I look at her in the eye when she doesn’t care about Beaus feelings?
I want this family to be a family, and I don’t want to marry into what it is now.
Both the mother and the daughter are in psychology, and the other brother is a zombie, he is addicted to computer games. Very disfunctional family from 18 months ago
I basically want advice on how to get this family back together. Beau is VERY stubborn, and Lynn is very ignorant to the real issues. There have been SO many other instances that proves she is awfully selfish.
So, my question was, how can i keep this family together. Your answer is to move out? I’m happy to move out and have been pushing it, but can only see it making a bigger divide in this family.

My mother in law has been married for almost 24 years to an abusive, gambling addicted man. She has MS and has not worked for the majority of their marriage. In Pennsylvania, she does not qualify for disability because she does not have the work credit to apply for it. She has no income and worries about leaving the man. She is definitely leaving him, but where she goes afterwards is the question. She can move to Lousiana and take her 14 year old daughter to a unsafe area. In this area, the school system will not do the daughter justice and we worry for her safety. My husband and I have offered to let the daughter live with us and let her finish out school up here so she has a better chance of doing well and going to college. I personally think the mother is being selfish because she keeps saying she wants to live there with her family and she misses them. But she’s not thinking of her daughter’s best interest. Anyway, the two would live with family in Lousiana until they have money saved of their own to move out. Down there, she’d be eligible for disability. My husband and I are trying to get her to stay in the area, but she’s always questioning how she would get income. I have told her that she would be paid alimony and child support. There is welfare, medical assitance, food stamps, etc. I’ve told her she could even find a PT job to help with the income, but she’s constantly saying she wouldn’t have enough income to support herself.

Does ANYONE have any ideas what I can tell her? Or how she may have an income enough to support herself and her daughter and live here in the area?

They are both, the daughter and mother, over weight and my husband worries that when they live in Louisana, they are just going to become heavier because that’s how her family is. They don’t much physical activity and he fears they will just become lazier. We would really like for them to stay in the area.
Just so you know, I’m not telling her what to do. I’m just asking on what ideas anyone may have about how she could have income if she stayed in the area. She’s ultimately like to stay in the area until her daughter finishes highschool, but she is concerned about income. That is was I’m asking about. How can she have enough income to support herself. She knows if she wants to leave it’s her decision, I’m just wondering what ideas I can give her to ensure her that she will be able to support herself and daughter.

My fathers mother passed on 2 years ago and left him the house. The house was in perfect condition. He started tearing the house apart 18 months ago. The upstairs bathroom is gutted. He tore up all the wood flooring in the den. Sanded the walls. Ripped the wall paper off. The house is a disaster. I can’t make myself even go over there. It makes me mad/sad that he did this. Now he won’t finish it! He has left it a wreck! He has tore up the lawn now to change out the sewer, to public he has to connect it to the town. there is a trench the length of the house to the street. He has left that. He is cutting down most of the trees in the yard to make light for his new $150/each (10) new trees.
He is also doing a lot of spending on stupid things. like buying paintings going to auctions. Buying cars. Then trying to sell them for more.
When i confront him on the house or his spending habits. He make jokes “my mom died and i need time” But he says it laughing. Almost mocking. It is mean! I’ve expressed to him that if Grandma was still alive that she would be telling him to finish what he has started. He doesn’t seem to care.
I just wish that he would buckle down and finish the house and stop spending. he is addicted to spending. I’ve gotten to the point where i can’t go over there anymore and i’ve semi cut contact with him. He still leaves me messages stating that he got this great deal on a painting and that he sold it and made a $30 profit. I don’t care to know nor do i want to know how he is spending his monies from his mother. He should be saving with the way that the economy is going. But i think that he is addicted and I dont know if there is anyhing i can do to help him stop! He doesnt listen to me. in fact he never has….
Any idea’s on how to cope with this? Or how to make myself stop getting so upset over this. it is killing me and tearing me apart.
Thanks
This house has been in our family for 3 generations. It was a beautiful home in CT.

My dad always hard a tough time holding on to money. And my mother has told me that when they were married that he did the same thing to there first home. he gutted it . when it was in perfect condition. that was one of the many reasons why she left him.
My father hasnt worked since 89 and collects BS disablity. so maybe he lacks responsiblity. my fear is that this house that i use to love will be sold cause of his errors in spending. and not having enough money to keep the house up

sorry for the add ons. my computer froze up and it kept repeating.

My sister is not a drug addict or alcholic etc… he just makes much more money than her and they lived a few blocks from each other. He promissed it didn’t mean a thing who has residential custody since they shared her daughter equally. Now he re-married and is relocating to Florida with their child. The baby is only 3years old and a little girl. Little girls need their natural mothers! What can she do? She hired an attorney, much she doesn’t have his type of money.

My mother is a gambling addict. Here house was completely paid off until last fall when she took out a 30K mortgage. She blew the entire amount on slot machines. I took over her checking account and thought those were safe until she went to the bank last week and clean it out (1200.00). I had been paying the mortgage with her Social Security check and that is even a bit ahead.

My sister and I worry she’ll go a get a second mortgage on the house behind our backs and are entertaining the idea of putting ourselves on the deed to prevent her from doing this. Mom would mostly likely support this.

I know we should (and will) talk with a real estate attorney, but does anyone have any advice? Have you done something similar?

Im just turning 16 I’m 5,6 and i weight around 155-160lbs. My current BMI is around 25.8. I dont really have a healthy eating style. My mother is usually working and we dont get to the store alot so I rely on fast food as most of my daily meals. I’ve been around 150-170 for about 2 years now. I usually skateboard an hour or two ever other day. I guess I’ve gotten addicted to fast food, I’ve tryed to stop and eat home meals but nothing seems to work. Do I have an eating disorder or is my will power just to low that I cant seem to break this fast food habit? I would love to get down around at least 145 and i would be happy. Could anyone help me or give me any tips?

Meet the Johnson family: The father, Sam, the mother, Ruth, and their two sons named William and Benny. William is 19 and Benny is 10.

The Johnson family is a happy one until William, the oldest son, becomes addicted to drugs. At first, he is able to hide his addiction, but living with responsible parents, he is soon found out. The parents are crushed, because this addiction has built an extreme hold on William over time. Sam, the father, knows he had a responsibility to keep peace in his home. He has an entire family to think of. How will this addiction affect the rest of the family?

In order to keep his family from destruction, Sam has to remove the problem. How can he save William and the rest of the family? Can you see the immense burden that is placed on the father as the head of the household? No doubt that allowing this addiction to remain in the house will most assuredly lead to Benny being deeply influenced. Something must be done.

After some careful consideration, Sam approaches William and lovingly, yet sternly, informs him that he has two choices: a) give up the drugs and work with the family to break the addiction, or, b) leave home

Sam understands that this addiction will most likely destroy his family if allowed to stay. He loves William very much, but he cannot put his entire family at risk.

So William has a choice. He can give up the drugs and seek help, or he can leave home. The father does not want William to have to leave, but he cannot allow this destructive force to remain in his home. It could ruin the lives of all involved.

This is why a loving Father would send a person to Hell. If sin were allowed into Heaven it (Heaven) would no longer be paradise, and all those therein would be affected. It does not matter how much love the Father has for the son or daughter. The child is involved in a risky situation that affects all those around. See how much pressure is on the Father? You think any sane father would put out a son or daughter out of hate?

Well atheists, here you go. I didn’t use circular knowledge. I referred to not one single scripture in the Bible. I used a “logical,” real-world example. If you can argue with this, then you are not looking for an answer to the primary question. You are only looking for an argument.

My father died 2 years ago suddenly at the age of 60…. my mother , who has been unstable for 10 years now….. has NO abillity to cope.

She calls late at night and leaves crying messages for my children, she goes out in the neighborhood and crys hysterically about my Dad.. and she is addicted to Tranquilizers…amongst other things.

My brother will not talk to me about her, and he denies anything is wrong.

Anyways, I found out through a reliable source (a long time friend of my Moms) that she had an affair on my Dad when he was alive.

I dont know if he knew about the affair, and during the time of the marriage he was a loving man to her and took care of her through thick and thin.

I found out about the affair 1 year ago and told my brother and he said it isnt a big deal. The whole thing has been bothering since I found out. The idea that my Dad might have not known about the affair just kills me!

Please give me advice on whether I should ever confront her on this or keep it in?

My nephew is 21 and won’t look for a job. When his mother tells him to, he makes her life hell. His father left to live with someone else and is no help. In fact he is the reason why he is worthless. His father’s father was a worthless alcoholic who only worked occasionally. And ended being taken care of by the mother until he died. In fact all of the uncles from that side of the family are or were worthless. The father was abusive and always relied on his mother or my parents to help him and my sister out of being in trouble. He smokes pot all the time so you know that the kids do to. My sister is so neurotic from being in an abusive relationship for 26 years that she can’t or won’t do anything about this now abusive self proclaimed drug addict. She can’t throw him out because she is afraid that he will do something bad to himself. Also he won’t go anyway. Plus he starts trashing everything in the house and then leaves before the cops show up. And even when they do show up, there is nothing that they will do. Plus I don’t think that my sister will really follow therough with anything either.I told my mother that I need to sit that little bastard down and talk to him man to man. But she says don’t rock the boat. All I want to tell him is that it is time to be a man and get a job and start contributing. But the women (my mom and my sister) say all that will do is make things worse. I tell them that I will not be his victim like they are. But sinse I take care of my mother now, one way or the other, I am now. I say that it is time for a man to deal with this and set things straight no matter what anyone thinks. Especially since its my life and my mother’s life that is also being effected here. Sooner or later they will probably end up moving in with me and I won’t have that crap in my house. He says that he is addicted to pot so he can’t work. And he won’t get help. I say that its just an excuse and its time to tell him how it is. But if I do then all hell will break loose. I say let it break. Let him go and experiance the real America. Has anyone else had to put up with this garbage? There was a time when get the hell out! used to work. Now the women say don’t rock the boat and now I’m the bad guy. Sooner or later there comes a time when a man has to step in and clean house. What say you????

A Changed Mother ? Help !?
I have a Mother whose changed a lot in the past year . She’s recently become addicted to gambling . She’s never really home , should a wife and mother be out at gambling places and card parties from 8 p.m until around 3 – 5 a.m ? She’s picks arguments with my sister and I for no reason at all , it’s really gotten to the point where my sister and i feel as if we can’t go to her about anything AT ALL . She constantly fights with my father about nothing and around my little brothers . And In the last year My sister and I have become responsible for our Brothers . It’s like her social life and having fun is more important to her . And to make the matter worse , her gambling money isn’t her money . She doesn’t work , she gets child support from my father , who she is married to , and who lives with us . My Father is the only source of income and all though he makes really good money it’s kind of rough because of the child support he pays to her for us . She does nothing at all with her child support check besides gamble . My Father pays all the bills and provides all that my siblings and I need and want .

I miss My Mom and the way she used to be before she changed , and I know that with time things will only get worse , So what can I do to make her realize that she’s addicted to gambling without telling her (my sister , my father and I have tried telling her , but she blames it on us not having a life .) Please Help And Tell Me You Thoughts On This ?

Ok, sorry in advance if this gets long.. but i am at a loss, i feel like i could just scream and cry forever!

I have been with my boyfriend for 8 months now.. we met out in Florida at a carnival he was working at.. I lived in FL at the time, and he was traveling with this carnival.. when the carnival ended he askd if i wanted to travel with him and i said yes…that was 8 months ago..

at the moment we are staying with his mother in Ohio (where he is from).. I am now realizing why he doesnt have a steady job and NEVER has money… he is addicted to CRACK. once we got to Ohio (2 months ago) he brought me to this house that he says are his “highschool friends”.. well they are drug dealers/addicts.. I went inside there for the first time 2 months ago and just started balling my eyes out begging Jason to stop and he wouldnt.. he just continued to smoke crack infront of me!.. he goes there ALL the time.. he has gotten motel rooms just recently and LEFT me at them while he’s out smoking crack all night long!!! he says he’ll be back in an hour at the MOST and is gone till 4 or 5 in the morning! last month he LEFT me in a motel room and NEVER showed up.. i had to get a ride to his mothers house from a stranger and then the mother kicked me out cuz she didnt want me there without jason… i had to beg my dad for a bus ticket back to FL.. the day i get to FL he calls my sisters phone from my phone (i gave it to him so i could keep in contact with him while he was away from the motel) and told me he was so sorry/crying into the phone, and then told me he was on his way to pick me up (driving from OH to FL to get me!).. i wasent even going to answer the phone when i saw it was him, but i figured since he was gonna drive all the way to get me, then he must love me and must ne sorry… NOPE!.. he just went on smoking crack still!.. and he went on to leave me at a target store PAST CLOSING time.. he never came to get me and i had to call his mother to pick me up at MIDNIGHT! keep in mind i am not from Ohio and have NO IDEA where I am and how to get his mothers house when i am being left places. Also, when he left me at the motel to the point i had to go back home to FL, before i went to the bus station i got a taxi with my last $25 and went to the crack house to look for him!!!! they told me he hasent been there since noon (it was 8pm when i went) and the guy that drove me to the greyhound told me that he knew Jason and that he is probably at “motel one” with the prostitutes cuz that is what he usually does when he’s out binging on crack!!! (of course jason later told me thats all a lie and he has no idea who would say that about him)

I am sorry this is long.. i am just at a loss.. he tells me he loves me/wants me/wants to marry me/wants to get me pregnant and have a family with me/only wants me/etc etc… but when he smokes crack, he’s an ENTIRELY different person… and when he’s coming off of it he says some MEAN things to me.. he calls me a f*cking c*nt at least 3x a week.. or to pack my stuff,walk to the greyhound and leave… and then an hour later he hugs and kisses me tells me he loves me and then asks me if i would rub his back/neck/or feet… and is all lovey towards me then… also, when he’s coming down from it.. he is suicidal and is all “stop talkin about it.. i know what i did was wrong.. i said i was sorry, all ur doing is making me feel worse then i already do about it” then he says “im just gonna kill myself by hanging myself in the garage!” wtf?!!! does he really love me??? i think he does, but ever since being here in Ohio he got really really addicted to this drug cuz he knows where and who to get it from.. and its always there for him if he has $10!!! he doesnt just do it in ohio either… we were out in San Diego before we got to Ohio and i almost got raped from a guy he JUST MET that he got high with in his house.. he seriously JUST MET this guy by getting out of the car at around 11pm in downtown san diego and ASKING where he could find dope… who does that?! i am just hurt/confused/and scared for my life basically…

the other night.. he put his truck up on craigslist for $500 because we have fines due at the court for a theft charge (of course he was stealing and since i was with him i got charged too).. so he told me if he sells the truck he’ll pay both fines… well, RIGHT AFTER he drove the truck to the ppl to sell it, he sold it and we had to take a taxi back to his mom’s house.. but of course we didnt go to his moms house.. we went to the crack house!!!! we were there from around 9pm-midlight.. then he got a ride back for us.. but they were smoking it while driving and me in the back seat.. driving down scary dirt roads.. the even stopped the car down one while they smoked for like half n hour.. in the PITCH BLACK.. i was SCARED for my LIFE… then when the guy was bout to take us to his moms house… jason just asked him to go to a cheap motel room because “he couldnt go i

Blurb: the book is about a girl who is born to a single parent her mother.yet her mother is a drug addict and an acholic therefore her mother hates her and abondens the young girl to her grandmother who dies then this girl searches for her father who she creates a strong bond with.

Does Limbaugh still stand behind his statement of drug dealers and addicts being deported?
brandon R (below) You are correct. Limbaugh is a recovering drug addict after being busted by his maid.

He struct a plea bargain to avoid being prosecuted.

Here we go again, another wonderful day
My mind full of nothing but decay
Try to kill the pain, about to go insane
Walking out in the rain, with no name
Need another drink, but forgot my wallet
Trying to get by, but forever in debt
Go and rob another damn liquor store
Just trying to survive, not to be hardcore
To progress further, sell some coke or weed
Running from the cops, such an evil deed
Avoid my warrants, try not to get myself caught
Because when I get to jail, I’ll be left rot
Nothing but a juvenile, but all grown up
Steal from my mother, stuck inside a rut
Moving from town to town, every month
Hard to get by, I’ve almost had enough

Addicted to love, addicted to hate
Addicted to this, so I’ll jump state
Addicted to drugs, take another drink
I’m on the brink, eyes turning pink

Pop another pill, make the world stand still
Helps take away the pain I hate to feel
Can’t take things anymore, just another bill
Donations every week, just a third wheel
Grab the gun, and hope Jesus is with me
So one day I can quit feeling empty
Go to church, maybe the problem will leave
Maybe God can give me some time to breathe
Take the can goods, back to the mobile home
Stop at the bank try to get another mortgage loan
Hopefully someday I can put this all behind
Look toward the future in the back of my mind
Just waiting for chance to finally come along
She’s still young, got to change all that is wrong
But caught up in my addictions, drink the booze
Sitting on the porch, knowing I’m about to loose

Addicted to love, addicted to hate
Addicted to this, so I’ll jump state
Addicted to drugs, take another drink
I’m on the brink, eyes turning pink

Start out small, work up to the big time
Taken every chance I could to make mine
Risk and reward, got me work’n even harder
The tricks of the trade, got me getting smarter
Putting food on the table, in a nice house
What the American dream is truly about
She’s a young woman now and me at the top
What happened next made my whole world stop
My past friends jealous of my great success
Plugged bullets through my house and wife’s dress
Burned down my house, my daughter on the inside
Flames and ash on the ground, no one left alive
When I was on top of things, the sky had to fall
Why is my life circled around Murphy’s Law
Back in the trailer park, stealing TVs and DVDs
Back to my old ways, as I start to flee

Addicted to love, addicted to hate
Addicted to this, so I’ll jump state
Addicted to drugs, take another drink
I’m on the brink, eyes turning pink

The Midwest Arsonist

My nephew got his girlfriend pregnant. Her home environment is horrible. She has an open protective services case due to physical abuse from her step father, as well as neglect from her mother, who is a recovering heroin addict. My brother and his wife want custody of their sons girlfriend, but how do they go about doing so? The pregnant girlfriend is still too young to go through emancipation in the state of Michigan.
