We will help you get your mom off drugs!

My mom is addicted to her prescription pain killers known as Oxycodone. Her dosage is the highest – 80mg – and her tolerance as well as addiction is SEVERE. She injects them into her veins after creating a sort of liquid out of them. I’ve tried everything to get her to stop, screaming, threatening, begging, crying, everything. It just seems like she does NOT want help. She’s told me her doctor supposedly has her in a waiting list for a rehab…but that’s what she’s always told me over the years. I’m 18 years old and I have no other home to live in. I would be out of here as soon as I could if it were possible. Thankfully I’m leaving for university on Friday and I don’t have to be here. But thinking about my mom constantly torments me and distracts me while at school. The withdrawals. The horrible shape the house is in (it’s constantly filthy and messy). She’s even lost her almost 10 year old son and it’s like she doesn’t even care. I’ve developed a hatred for my mom and I don’t even know how to deal with it. The sad part is, I’ve been living this almost my entire life.

Please I just need help on how to deal with this situation. It eats me up seeing her like this. This environment is so toxic and I just need to get out…..

I herd “Hero/Heroine” 4 the 1st time 2day, & I thought that it sounded like the music in the Season 1 finale of “How I Met Your Mother” where Ted & Robin finally get 2gether. I listened 2 the beginning of the Boys Like Girls song & the song on that specific part of the episode on the DVD. It was the same key but not the same exact song. So if you’ve seen the show, is it a coincidence that the song on “How I Met Your Mother” sounds like “Hero/Heroin”?
I’m now starting 2 doubt that the song in that particular episode is “Hero/Heroin.” 4 1 thing, the “Come On” episode came b4 the release of Boys Like Girls’ self-titled CD which features that song.

My mom has a drinking problem, she drinks heavily once a week. Which I guess couldn’t be considered alcoholic. But when she drinks, she’s usually angry and verbally abusive. I’m 19, already moved out living with my boyfriend who she hates, though he has never done anything to her and has tried his best to please her. She lives with my little sister who is 8 and my dad. She’s been severely depressed since her own mother passed away 9 years ago, they were best friends and inseparable. I don’t know what to do, shes mad at me right now and she doesn’t really have any reason or right to be. last week she came to my house asking for help-drunk-and when I came outside to talk to her she just started yelling horrible things to me, for no reason. Then she jumped out of the car and ran into the field saying she was going to kill herself. I lost her, so the entire night me, my dad, and my boyfriend were out there looking for her. I eventually found her and we brought her home, the next day everything was back to normal, except that now she’s made at ME. I didn’t do anything at all except worry about her the entire night. I feel horrible, I want to kill myself because I feel helpless. I don’t know what to do, I want to help her but I hate it when she gets mad at me and belittles me when all I’m trying to do is help her. I want to stop talking to her but I know I can’t. I love my dad and my little sister. What should we do?? I’m sorry this is probably more like a rant, and doesn’t make any sense but I’m panicked. Please someone help me and tell me what to do??
thanks for answering soamazing but I don’t really think attacking my mom is going to help, I’ve tried that before and it only made things worse. but gee thanks for making me feel better.

Alright, when ever my father leaves to go on a buisness trip, or anything, my mother drinks alchohol. sometimes she hits us but normally she just says how she hates us. im so sick of it! and after she drinks she says “i wont anymore” and then she does it again. who else has these problems? i really want someone to talk to.

A lot of people in section 8 ghetto’s do nothing but get pregnant and not work and destroy the inner city’s of America with gangs and drug dealing and violence.

I was born in raised in the ghetto my mother smoked crack and my father was never there it seems like section 8 housing is destroying black family’s because there’s no self responsibility.

I think we need to force ghetto black people to be more responsible and stop relying on welfare and section 8 and get them to work and pay bills like everyone else.

Im a black person my self and it makes me sad that 70% of black kids are raised without a father because so many black men think they don’t have to be a father to their kids because all the women have to do is live on section 8.

My mom has been playing this game Small World for over a year now. But it’s ridiculous. It’s ALL she talks about when I visit the house. She is on there doing “missions” and explains them to me like I understand. I signed into the game but lost interest because I have my own hobbies (such as cooking, reading and photography).
She even gets irate about the game and other players as if it’s something that happened to her in real life! She is at the computer non-stop when she’s not at work and often, she’ll call me JUST to tell me what someone in the game had the nerve to say to her during a “mission.” Yes, she’s made some real friends through the game, but she doesn’t talk to them on the phone or get together with them.
I don’t know how to react to her when she talks about the game. I have no interest and no idea what to advise her when it comes to dealing with people on there. I try to change the subject, but then she refers BACK to the game to compare whatever I’m saying to something on there..WTF!!!

My wife works at 4:00am until 11:00am then she goes to school from 12:00am – 4:00pm. And i work from 6:00 am – 6:00pm. Anyway since we have working schdules like that she wants her drunk mother to watch our children. She always drinks when shes at home and also at our house in front our children who are 7 and 3. And sometimes even passes out, and im worried she might pass out and the kids might be dead because she wasn’t watching them since she was passed out. What should i do or say to my wife? She doesn’t think her mom’s a drunk
She says my parents are not suitable to take care of our children. She hates my family she doesn’t want our kids around them i don’t know why

My dad was arrested a month ago for a DUI. Since then he has been calling the house phone every few days, and my mom refuses to accept the call. She told me that if I accepted a call, there would be severe consequences.
My heart is aching because of this. I know it’s kinda expensive to accept collect calls, but I don’t like that my dad isn’t able to talk to us.

Also, my mom is really upset and filing for divorce over his alcoholism.

Her parents are divorced and her mother has been in drug rehab in another state.
Her father is in the hospital for a brain aneurism and is lucky to have survived. He lives approx 3 hours away.
She has many brothers and sisters, but the family seems to be scattered since her parents divorce. She just doesnt seem to have much of a family life.
I would like to do something for her nice for Christmas. Any suggestions?

My mom is an alcoholic. She drinks about 1-2 bottles of wine per day. She actually starts drinking from the moment she wakes up until about 8 pm when she usually crashes until noon the next day and repeats this. She cusses me out and my dad constantly and when we confronted her about the idea she started threatning my dad that she’ll hurt him and that he’s the reason she drinks. My dad is litterally like a servant to her, he does everything for her and he’s very kind. Were just going through some money trouble…which I don’t understand because my dad makes a middle class average salary. Enough to get us through a month, but with how much she’s spending on wine/ciggerates and poor decisions such as going out to really expensive restaurants or getting her hair done for about 300 dollars it’s no wonder were having problems. My dad hasn’t actually gotten new clothes for himself in almost a year just so he can make my mom happy, so how is my mom so mad with him and blames him for everything? No matter how many times we try to stop her from drinking she yells at us/threatens us/ and starts screaming at my dad how he’s the reason she’s miserable because my dad isn’t making enough money for her to be happy.

How can I get my mom to stop? She is really crazy. She’s latley been making like humming noises which are really strange after she drinks. And she keeps making wincing faces as if shes irritated about something. Can this be from drinking?
I’m 16 I can’t move out

So for the pasy few yrs my mother has became an alcoholic.
about two hours after she gets home from work she pours herself a class of coke mixed with liquor.
She is a functioning alcoholic because she gets up and goes to work everyday and everything.
There is no use talking to her because sober or not she denies having a problem.
So yes i hvae tried having serious talks with her she is hard headed and there is no use talking to her about it.
I have an alcoholic dad as well but i am used to it for he has been that way for all my life and he just like my mother is a functioning alcoholic.
I cant our her liquor out i dont know where she hides it and i cant show her research or anything .
I cant get to any meeting because i have no car and i cant tell my mom ” o your an alcoholic so take me to meetings for teens with alcoholic parents” .
I am basically asking on tips on dealing with this problem
did i mention i cant drive yet?
THERE IS A DIFFERANCE BETWEEN ENJOYING A FEW DRINKS AND GETTING D-R-U-N-EVERYNIGHT TO WERE U CANT EVEN WALK W/O STUMBLING

I have a friend that lost her mother-in-law today, and her niece, that is my best friend, was very upset because she smoked a cigarette to calm herself. My friend’s mother-in-law died of cancer, and I knew her as well. It’s a tragedy, and I’m grieving, but we got into a conversation and we wanted to know if pot is worse than cigarettes…. Is it?
