We will help you get your mom off drugs!

when i say you get addicted to cause your mom used them, i mean you were born with an addiction cause she used them when she was pregnant with you.

Im wanting my mom to buy me vex or like woody or whatever. just those cooler things. but she keeps saying no. but i think i could convince her too. and im also 15, but she knows i drink and she knows that i go to my friends house to drink.

is there any way that i could get her to buy it for me?

What is to be done?

My 21 year old daughter just called off her October 2007 wedding to a nice, clean cut young man who she had been with for more than two years. Good call if she was unhappy. Unfortunately, she just told me that she is now dating a 20 year old guy that was in rehab in March for heroin addiction after an overdose. He is also facing criminal charges (not sure if from same incident or another). She says “everyone makes mistakes, and he is ‘clean’”. However, she revealed that they drink alcohol together. I know about cross addictions, if using alcohol, NOT CLEAN! Also, she could be arrested for contributing since he is not 21 and she is. Also, he told her he stole from his friends and family to feed his addiction. When her dad and I tried to talk to her calmly she became very defensive and refused to hear anything we have to say. I am very concerned about her. More pertinent information, I am actually her step-mom; her estranged mother died in May of this year – alcohol related heart attack

I admit I stole from her and her mother just to smoke crack rock but I have changed. What can I do.

What to do after you get out of drug rehab?
so my boyfriend is getting out of rehab in 2 weeks… and i guess his parents plan is to send him to live with his dad. the only problem is, his dad isnt such a great person, when he was young he mentally and sometimes physically abused him. his dad is one of the srictest people i have ever met, and when my boyfriend is over there he feels completley uncomfortable and wont even talk, he is terrified of his dad, and does not like him as a person at all.. and from what ive heard he plans on pretty much keeping him on lock down for the most part, like not letting him go out and do things with friends or just things in genral i guess… what do you think about this idea?

before he went in he lived with his mother and shes great, shes very loving, but not as strict as his father , but she could be now that hes out,shes very helpful when it comes to listening to him ad helping him out. he feels very comfortable there and is pretty close with her and can talk to her, but would it be bad to go back to where he lived before he went into rehab, im pretty positive that he wants to go back with her and not his dad..should he choose where he goes?
he is 22 years old with a good job.

i have a terrible problem with consuming too much food in a little amount of time. I wanted to get psychiatric help my mom wont do it. my doctor wont listen either she just says that i need to control my self (like i haven’t been trying that for the past 8-9 years). so please help. right now i weigh 195 lb and i am 16yrs old.

My mom works to support her alcoholic habit. She will not pay utilities or rent. She never stayes in a house more than 5 months because she almost immediately stops paying the rent. She lives with people in the neighborhood often until she is made to leave. Her health is poor. She often makes up stories in order to get the attention. She is currently living in a rooming house. Her grands love to see her but I can’t have my children in that type of environment. I have 4 siblings who don’t seem to care. I just want my mom to have a clean apartment and food to eat with all of her utilities on. With her last apartment her boss was paying her rent and giving her the difference out of her check, but I don’t know what happened. I can’t afford to take care of her but with her working she can afford a one bedroom apt. on her own.

If the father of a child is no longer alive, but he left behind his estates and wealth for the child. The mother of the child was ex-wife of the father. can she get custody of her by law and lives to take advantage of her.

My name is Amber, and I myself am not an alcoholic. My mother, however, has been an alcoholic for my entire life and I just found this out recently. She’s taken major steps in hiding her alcoholism from my sister and I but the unavoidable happened. Though I don’t know much about her alcoholism just yet, I’ve asked doctors if the trigger might possibly be PMDD. The doctor who specializes in women and the effects that such a disorder might have told me that PMDD could absolutely be a trigger in my mother’s alcoholic fits. She will only drink every few months, but every time she does it’s a few days before and during her menstrual cycle. For as long as she has been drinking she absolutely refuses to seek any professional help. Her first marriage crumbled because of this, and now her second with my step father is nearly over as well.
I just wish to talk to someone to help me with guidance. I’m completely lost at how to approach her and tell her that this problem that she’s been having for over twenty years might just be set off by a chemical imbalance. It would really help me if I could talk to someone that I knew might be having or had the same problem as my mother. I implore you to read this knowing that the woman who has taken care of me for seventeen years is now in dire need of my help. Please, please help me.

and I call 911.I am charged with assault on a female in my own home protecting my children on a school night.Then the deputies allow my drunk wife to drive her mother somewhere before bringing my wife back home.How can I be charged?Davidson county N.C.Shell is the name.

My mom is being physically and emotionally abused. This has been going on for quite some time. I always feel helpless because I can’t make her leave him. Today I expressed that to her, I said that I don’t understand what she’s doing, why she wouldn’t leave. Well she opened up to me and it turns out that supposedly she is addicted to methadone that her abuser has been giving her. It is prescribed to him but he gives it to her, this is obviously his way of getting her to stay by getting her addicted to this shit. So my mom said that she needs help- w/ addiction & overall mental help before she leaves. She scared that if she leaves her mental health will be even worse- which is understandable because physiological addiction can be both mentally and physically dangerous if stopping cold turkey.
So I’m wondering what I can do as far as referring her to the necessary people who can help her. She or myself cannot afford rehab. What to do! ? we live in California. btw, I’m over 18 and out of the house

My friend drinks a fifth a day and my other pregnant friend takes like 6 shots a day. They say that alcohol is okay for the baby, but i think I should only have like 3 beers a day.

My natural mother was neither a heroine addict or a crack whore. She was a scared young woman who didn’t have a lot of options offered to her at the time.

And yet, this seems to be the stereotype in our culture. Why?

my best friend and my boyfriend’s brother (20 and 23 respectively) are expecting their first child in six months. they have asked my boyfriend and i to be god parents. they fight all the time violently because of his excessive crack cocaine addiction. she keeps telling me that she is going to make him go to rehab, but the deadlines go by the wayside and she always gives it. i’ve tried to break it down to her and make her understand the seriousness of the situation, but nothing seems to work. is it of for me to tell her that i wont be the god mother if she doesn’t do what is best for her child? i am very flattered by the offer but i want what is best for her and the baby.

Her mother went to drug rehab and she took my daughter with her changing schools. i have talked to my daughter 4 times since thanksgiving of 05. before the rehab her mother was in a shelter. i just need to know what rights do i have? i dont want to hurt my daughter with a custody battle she’s been thru enough.

Mother turns violent and attacks father, child’s safety has been at risk too. please can you suggest procedures , given im married to her and wish to file for divorce. my question is what do i do for imediate protection of chil while i am away?
thanks

The thought of her drives me crazy for hours. When my husband tells me he wants us to go to her house I have to make a liquor store run first..She’s not good to my mind. Do I need phycological evaluation? Do you think i could benefit..I’m trying to get better so I can save my marriage
I only drink when I have to see her so I don’t jump on her.
She’s manipulative and controlling here are some details;

We used to live with her to help her pay her mortgage. I got fed up with her telling my husband everthing I did from me slamming the toilet seat too load to who I was talking to on the phone….I confronted her and told her that I didn’t appreciate her telling the world that i manipulate her son???(she was doing the manipulating) IF he wasn’t home she would harrass me to tell her where he was at!!(Like I was a dictator or something) We moved out the week I confronted her finally!! After that she had a diabetic problem and was hospitaqlized…telling the whole family it was my fault!! Lil’ did she know we were there as well because out babies had hand foor and mouth disease…I had to bring it to her attention becuase she claimed her son didn’t care..she turned red and saw how upset I was.
We have 2 kids together. She’s white and was not happy that my babies’ eyes were brown and not blue or green!!

im 15, and i want to tell my mom about how i binge eat, but im really embarrassed to say it because i think i sound like a complete loser and that im pathetic. any advice? i dont really want any of my friends to know because i sound like a girl that cant control how she eats and that i have no self control.
