Heyy i’m not sure if i have binge eating disorder, i learned about it in health class but i was too shy to ask for more information on it, well im 13 im 5’5 and i weigh 245. I eat when im bored, for breakfast ill have cereal and a p-b and j sandwich for lunch ill have ice cream or a nutty bar with something like chips n’ cheese or pizza or noodles, for dinner ill have ice cream, p-b and j, noodles, and cereal. Im a very picky eater, but i do eat at least 3-5 P-b and j sandwiches a day and that and maybe 2 bowls of ice cream. i eat AT LEAST 6 times a day. if you do think i have binge eating disorder what can i do to get help? I want to ask my mom for super weight loss pills but im scared too, and does binge eating give you crazy moods, like being depressed, jealous, and angry all the time? i am on welbutrin, and at times i do have suicidal thoughts. and can being over weight make you not have your periods? as i said im 13 and i get it about 2 times a Year., please help me out here? :c
Im vegetarian by the way xD

My other mom friends have gossipped about this other mom saying “I like her daughter, but her mom is an alcoholic, if you watch her daughter for a few hours, count on watching her for 12.” I have witnessed this myself. So the other mothers are distancing their children from the alcoholic’s daugher.

My grandmother was a chronic alcoholic for years. My mother is still quietly suffering emotionally from growing up with a mother who was neglectful. As a result, my mother doesn’t touch alcohol and has grown-up to be a productive member of society and she was a very caring if not overprotective mom.

I asked my mom if I should risk losing my gossipy “mom friends” to help this little girl…and let her play at my house with my daughter for the 12 hours just to help HER as the daughter of an alcoholic. My mother said as she got older she became aware of not being able to bring friends home and all she wanted was a best friend, a mother-type who showed she cared for her.What’d you do?

my mother is insistent that i am enabling my father to be an alcoholic and enabling him is interfereing with my life…the thing is, i do not think i am enabling him…he lives very far away and i only talk to him every two weeks….she thinks i should quit talking to him because he did not move near us when they divorced…he payed child support and spoke to us on the phone…i do not feel affected by his alcoholism…i am a strong person, who does not drink and i am not a victim…i am very nurturing to my children… i have broken the chain of abuse. my mother thinks that the chain is not broken simply because i communicate with him. i am trying to explain to her that i am not enabling him just by talking to him. i am disattached from my father, so i do not care if he drinks…i need proffesional psychological advice on how to explain to my mother that i am not enabling him and communicating with him is not hindering my life…she is hindering my life with this subject…help

Hello! I was raised with an alcoholic mother whom has, in the past 9 years, become seemingly severely mentally troubled. I wish I could post a name and you all could judge for yourself by tracking her status’ on a few of our most popular social sites. The past 9 years + have been rather unpleasant and can turn into a very long story but I will stick with the matter at hand. At around 16-17 I became involved with what I say is the love of my life. From the start of the relationship my mother disapproved, in her extremely “filter-less” way. Thus far, it has been a tumultuous roller coaster ride with her. She is wasting much of her time bullying my fiance and constantly doing anything within her power and feeble mind to bash this relationship and throw stones in the grinder. (She does this to many others as well, She calls herself the Crazy lady of Va***y Road) I know many of the ladies have devilish mother in laws but believe you me, this one is straight from hell. She can’t even hold a relationship with with her very own kids whom she vows are her own flesh and blood pride and joy and so on and so forth. It has recently become public bashings through “cyber” portals, with scandal and lies. She does the same thing with EVERYONE in her life, constantly finding it in her best interest to constantly be fighting with someone and bashing them to get the world on her side, many times with provable lies. The woman keeps winning, what can I do to silence her? I have lived the role of feeling bad for her and trying to keep civil for many years, abiding by the “Love thy mother and father” rule. But our tribulations have gone FAR beyond any ethical boundaries and I can no longer stand it. I have been angry with family, but words cannot describe the damage that my very own mother has caused. Somehow in some miracle she always finds a way around around even Johnny law. Even when she is totally wasted out of her mind and abusing my sister while saying she is going to kill herself. I get a return phone call from the officer saying she is fine, just drunk and there is nothing he can do. The latest is she is telling the population that my fiance is committing adultery with my very own father. Really, this crap needs to end. This whole dramatic ordeal is much deeper and lengthy than I am presenting at the moment, professional or first hand experience answers would be VERY VERY appreciated. It would be nice to grab her by the hair and drag her to a mental institution, but something tells me big brother wouldn’t let that fly, I need real solutions. We have a little boy on the way and need to be dealing with this bag of nuts no longer. Thank you very much in advance!

I am a 26 year old female and a mother of a 3 year old daugter and the girlfriend of a 30 year old heroin addict. My boyfriend of 5 years has been a heroin addict since he was 17. I love him to death and he is the father of my beautiful girl, but he needs serious help. I mean, he shoots up 6 times a day. He doesn’t have a job anymore. He has been in and out of rehab since he was a kid. I know I should break up with him but I know if I do he will kill himself. He told me he would if I ever left him. Help me somebody, does anyone have any advice they could give that went through this type of thing?

ok well i have alot of friends who smoke weed, crack and all that stuff. i’ve been hanging around them since 6th grade and it’s now 9th grade, i’ve covered for them and almost put in jail for them. i was pressured into doing weed and coke (I DID NOT DO COKE THO) but people been telling me weed isn’t addictive, but i am unable to quit. I don’t like the “high” feeling at all anymore, and i just want a normal damn life. (i’m 15 btw) and i know people say well if you want a normal life wuit? and i’ve tried, it’s just so me. my teeth are whiter then now :) and i went to the doctor and they said my health is in good condition. so i’m good with that, i am just scared my mother will find out and kick my ass till it’s black and blue. any advise on maybe what could help me stop??? and can you tell me why this weed is popular in the U.S.? (it’s not illegal in wisconsin, if a cop get’s you for having it all you get is a ticket taht’s like $100 NO jail time.) HELP! =D

So my mom is totally addicted to the Twilight books! When she reads them I can’t even get her to come out of her room! Ha! What is a book that I could get her for Mother’s Day she would enjoy as much as Twilight? It doesn’t have to be about vampires or anything. Just a good book!

I was born premature to a drug addicted mom and I was not likely to live and I was born without movement in my arms and I use to have seizures becauseI had fluid on my brain …and my mom adopted me and she took good care of me and she gave me so much love that the fluid went off my brain and she took classes to learn how to take care of me in case I stopped breathing or anything because I had poor breathing and how to keep me alive and she went with me through all my surgeries for my arms and the other things wrong with me and she would stay up late with me taking care of me ….how could someone be willing to go through all that for a child that wasn’t even theirs??? and how could she love a child that wasn’t hers
the doctors told my mom I wouldn’t live but she still adopted me and cared for me… I was in a foster home before she adopted me and that person wasn’t willing to care for me
she also gave up her cleaning business to stay home and care for me going back and forth to the hospital
she already had 3 kids of her own too

My sister happens to be an alcohol addict. My mom and I are trying to find an alcohol rehab center suitable for her. Any suggestions?

mother was drunk had a one night stand out pops me, dad dosent know i exist, mum dosent remember what he looks like, dosent even know his name, this kills me everyday. my mother did have a screwed up life though? im 15 now. anyone got anything to say about this??
what also kills me is that i could walk past him on the street and we’d not even know..:(
no caitlyn. how am i supposed to find my dad with no information about him, no idea of what he looks like, no idea of what his name is, he didnt know he got my mother pregnant it was a one night stand? my mother nearly aborted me. sometimes i wish she had, sometimes im glad she didnt.

My sister is a drug addict and has been in trouble off and on all her life. She lives with my mother and her behavior, attitude and actions are killing her. she was arrested AGAIN Christmas Day. She has done the drug rehab thing twice; it never sticks with her. My brother and I are doing everything in our power to make sure she serves time this time around. Is that cruel? We love her but she is way out of control and our mother is paying the price for it.

My mom is a progressing alcoholic and I know it’s just gonna get worse if she keeps drinking. Me and my brother are 17 (twins) and we’re gonna turn 18 in about 4 months. My parents separated a year ago, my dad pretty much left my mom for another woman (he was in California and my mom, my bro, and myself were living in South Dakota for a little while, were now living in Cali.) My mom is depressed and stupidly grew feelings for a man she met at a bar. I can’t talk to her like I use to cause she always talking about that man or **** that happens at that damn bar. I’m don’t know what to do about her alcoholism. I know I can’t do anything about it, she needs to stop on her own. Because of her drinking, she hasn’t been making any money so our lights and hot water got turned off. Me and my brother are staying at our dad’s place with “the other woman” so my mom thinks this woman is getting what she wants cause me and my bro gave in and finally met her.
My mom is sitting at our house with the lights off. She doesn’t have to, she could stay at her sister’s house but she doesn’t want to. I don’t get it, why does she want to sit in the dark?? She could stay at her sister’s house and make money so we can try and pay our light bill at least but she doesn’t want to do that. She wants me and my bro to go back home and just ride it out with her with no electricity. I don’t know if I’m in the wrong, but why should I stay there if it wasn’t even my fault were in this situation? The last time I stayed there with her while my brother was at my aunt’s house, I tried to be positive by searching the house for candles, finding things to read, encourging her that we can get the lights back on but she went out and drank and left me for 7 hours in the dark and came home drunk. I just don’t know if I’m doing the right thing staying at my dad’s while my mom is at home in the dark alone. I’m so stressed right now!
I talked to my mom today, I told her I feel I shouldn’t be forced to stay at home with no lights because it’s not my fault we’re in this situation. She told me that doesn’t make sense because we should be sticking by her side no matter what and that she’s trying to be positive and that our negativity drives her to drinking. I told her not to blame her alcoholism on me then she hung up on me. I want to stick by her side but I just can’t cause she won’t stop drinking. I love my mom soooo much, she’s my best friend and it hurts me so much that she’s doing the things she doing. Sometimes I feel like she just tries to pick fights with me so she can go out and drink but I don’t know.
I forgot to add this in but my mom didn’t start drinking until after the separation.

All my life, my parents have always been like that. And now I’m Nearly Sixteen and I Can’t Take it no more. Its getting me down all the time and I don’t know what to do any more. Can anyone help please?
Mum cant stand dad and when he gets drunk we have to be careful what we are saying. Its made me hate him. When he is like that he is patronizing

I love my dad very much but he often hurts be very badly emotionally when he begins ranting on about how bad of a person my mother was in his opinion. My mother died five years ago when I was 11 from alcoholism. She put him in a very bad financial state and lied to him often so he is very hurt but I can’t and won’t tolerate any bad things he has to say about her. She was my mother and I loved her more than anyone in the world. She was always there for me, and I know she loved me. So it hurts a lot when he says to me that she never loved him me or my sister. I know for a fact this isn’t true. She had a very bad problem with alcohol, but she would give her life up for her children. She always told us we were her world and often proved it. I’ve told him just how much it hurts when he calls her a bad mom and tells me that she never loved me, (because according to him, if she loved me she wold be here) but he doesn’t seem to get it or care. How do I get him to stop? Everytime he starts speaking badly of her I get extremely defensive and usually end up in tears and in a big fight trying to defend the person responsible for my existence. My mother was an alcoholic, but even though my father wasn’t working as I was growing up, he never spent time with me as a child so my mother basically grew me and my sister up on her own with his financial support. (even though they were married he expected her to do everything for him) Everyone notices how well broght up my sister and I are and how successful we are becoming so she must have done something right but recieves no credit. He really fails to realize that she grew us up and we wond up being A students thanks to her stressing to us the importance of an education. So I really don’t understand how he can say some of the things he says. I just want him to stop. Please help and give me some advice!
