Whenever I get any sort of bug bite, my mom insists on me using alcohol…?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

You know, the rubbing type of alcohol that every household has…

does this even do anything, because all my friends scoff at the idea of me using alcohol on bug bites… and when I thought about it, I had never read or been told anywhere else that it actually helps…

so does it?

My 46 yr old mother is a drunk!?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

I took my bf to my aunts this weekend for him to meet the family as well as my mother who was traveling from two hours away. Well mom showed up an hour and a half late completely drunk! I know she has a drinking problem but I was shocked to see that she’d drive that far in that state of intoxication. My aunt and I discussed it and I guess my uncle (moms brother) has known about this problem for years and doesn’t want to deal with it. My grandpa went down south for the winter because he doesn’t want to deal with her…and I live 6 hrs away and don’t want to deal with her drinking issue either. She denies it of course. So question…do I make peace that I feel like I can’t help and be like the rest of my family or should I try to get my family to help me help her?
I had talked to my mom a few times this past month about us all meeting this saturday at my aunts. Well when we got there saturday no one was there….so my bf and I sat at my aunts for an hour before my aunt got home and was completely surprised and happy to see us. Mom was late… and my uncle and cousins weren’t there because they didn’t know we were coming.

DRUG ABUSE IN THE FAMILY. HELP!?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

My husbands mother was once addicted to several types of drugs…sleep aids and muscle relaxers. and some others, not sure all. she was a different person then the person we know and love.

We tried and tried to help her. she went through rehab a few times. she was finally becoming her normal self again. happy and aware of things. not always asleep. e lived in GA and she lives in WV…I would talk to her on the phone and I could tell she was doing very well!

we just recently moved here to WV and we been staying with her until we find a place of our own. She seemed to be doing very well. I was so proud of her.

BUT…as of 2 days ago she has been sleeping alot, talking weird, being VERY forgettful. coming into the bedroom where we been sleeping at night and asking if we want cookies and mumbling her words. shes showing signs of drug abuse again.

then I just got up to use the restroom a little bit ago…found sleep aid pills all in her sink, and the bottle in the sink. as if she tried to get some and spilled them. and now I can hear her out in the kitchen moving stuff around alot. like shes moving pots and pans. we locked the bedroom door..were affraid she will come in here while were asleep and try to pick up our 6 month old baby girl out of her crib. I dont want her around this crap. I dont know what to do.

I’m 16 and my Mom is an alcoholic, how do I deal with this?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

My Mom is an alcoholic. She always sneaks to the store while my Dad is at work and while me and my two siblings are at school. She does have a part time jobs as a maid basically. But does not work often. So she is always at home getting drunk…Every time I come home my Mom is drunk. I almost never see her at home without a beer in her hand. It stresses me out and makes me really angry to see her drunk all the time. And it makes her stupid….It just makes me so pissed off!She’s drunk right now watching T.V. We tried getting her help before but she never really applised her self. And right now we can’t afford it anymore. My Dad is good he doesn’t drink or smoke or anything so I can look up to him. Anyways how do I deal with this. How do I stop getting so angry and stressed? It sometime depresses me. Sorry for the random things I write. But I kindof have mixed emotions right now.

What can I do about my alcoholic mother?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

My mother has been drinking for years and whenever I see her drunk, I feel sad and disgusted at the same time. Most of the time I see her dozzed off. I am very sorry that she tried to drink her problems away but I am subjected to emotional abuse every day. I am saving money to move out, I am 22 years old but I still need to save a lot more and it takes time.
My approaches are all wrong. When she was sober, I have tried to persuade her to quit but she kept on saying I always scold him for nothing and she complains about me to God. I get from work at 6 o’clock and I see her like that and I start crying. I cry every day and she doesn’t even show the least bit of concern. I’m telling her that she is killing me and she doesn’t care. I try not talking to her but she acts like nothing happened and makes me the one to blame.
Are these typical alcoholic behaviours? What can I do to keep my sanity? I just can’t get used to the fact that I have lost my mother.
I am not trying to help her. I am only trying to avoid having to cry and cry and cry every day. I have think about myself from now on. She has ruined me for years and now I don’t have the strength to fight for her addiction. I tried talking to her yadayadayada… I just need advice keeping myself emotionally healthy and I am saving money to move out, I can’t move out now =/

Trying to get him to get help, but his Mother working against me. How would you handle it?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

My husband is an alcoholic. We’ve been married almost 8 years and have three kids under 7. I left once before in hopes of him getting the treatment he needs, but he didn’t and I was stupid and weak and went back prematurely. Well, here we are almost 2 years later and I moved me and the kids out again. This wasn’t a hasty angry move. I told him 4000 times that I love him, but that I won’t live with the drinking any longer. I have set up strict guidelines, including counseling, AA, and marriage counseling, before I will move home. I really want our marriage to work, but having grown up with an alcoholic Father and moving on to a husband with the same issues, I’m done dealing with the drinking.

For the first time in our marriage, he has agreed to get some help, even though he still feels he doesn’t need it. I have prayed, talked to our pastor, a counselor, and read about alcoholism and the role I have played extensively. I am committed to my decision to try to work this out. My problem is his Mother. She has been telling him that she is mad at my parents for encouraging us to move out. She is also mad that my parents have made it easy to move in with them. Truth is, if my parents weren’t here, I would have moved to a shelter. Also, it’s true that my parents don’t like to watch me getting hurt and dealing with the abuse. BUT, and the big but is, this is all my choice. I hate that his Mother is putting these thoughts in his head. She says I should have stayed and worked things out. She knows he’s an alcoholic, she’s even taken part in an intervention a couple years back. She knows he is in trouble.

I feel like I’m the only one here putting my foot down about trying to get him well. Why is she trying to work against me??? Why wouldn’t you want to see your child get well. I can always tell when he’s talked with her because he’s more angry with me and my parent’s who have nothing to do with our marriage.

How should I handle his Mother. I’m planning on asking him why he hasn’t “corrected” her thoughts and just tell her the truth that I have been trying to work on this “from home” with no response. What would you do?
He has repeatedly admitted that he has a drinking problem, but thinks he knows what AA and counseling will tell him, so he feels he doesn’t need it. I would just file for divorce and move on before I “force” him to do anything. I’m simply telling what he would have to do for me and the kids to consider moving back in with him.
Betterman…..my Father is still drinking and behaving like a full on alcoholic. He is homeless and, no, I do not still love him. I gave him many chances, but he only got worse over time. I can’t stand him.

What was the movie where a doll girl lived with her dead dad who OD’d on heroin? Autistic neigbor/farm setting?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

I think the girl had a fascination with dolls and this movie took place in a farm like setting (I think the cover of the movie had a picture of the house with sunflowers in the front part of the farm). Her parents where heavy drinkers and used heroin. I remember her mom died in bed and the daughter and her dad lit the bed on fire and both of them didn’t seem very affected by it. The daughter would roam around the house all day while her father would sit in a chair in the middle of the living room and shoot heroin. After shooting he is incapacitated and unresponsive for hours on end. He would tell the daughter before each heroin injection that he was “going on vacation”. The daughter would walk around the house/farm with some doll. She makes friends with a kid neighbor (male) who wheres a space helmet (I could be wrong about that) has no friends and is retarded in some way. He lives with his crazy mother who screams for him to get his attention. The daughter hangs out with this kid pretty often and one day he causes a bus full of people to flip subsequently killing them all (I think a big airplane may have been involved). One day the father tells the daughter that he’s “going on vacation” and ends up overdosing and dying in the same position he always is when he’s passed out. The daughter comes back to the house one night and can’t get her dad to wake up. You know that she knows he’s dead but she plays it off like he’s “vacationing”. She keeps him around, talks with him and feeds him (or at least tries) until he gets so bloated with decomposition fumes that he starts “farting” as the daughter would call it. Because “he would not stop farting” she dragged him outside with the help of the retarded kid neighbor. She ends up stripping her father’s skin off and stuffing the skin with cotton like a doll. She keeps him propped up at a dining room table and throws tea parties with the retarded kid who ends up marrying the daughter girl. They just live with the dead, stuffed father and some dolls.

What movie was that

Is my son addicted to internet gaming?

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

I have a 13 year old step-son who is 50 pounds overweight even though his mom is quite thin and exercises.

His mother cannot monitor everything he eats because he eats at school.

When he comes home, all he wants to do is play on the computer. He doesnt do research type stuff unless it is about finding cheat codes to games he is playing.

Should I worry?
