We will help you get your mom off drugs!

Since we know that the 4th house and the Moon can indicate Mom and her issues, what might indicate a mother’s drug abuse?

BQ: Suppositions aside, do you know anyone with this placement, and does this ring true in their real life?

I am now convinced that my mom is addicted to prescription drugs. She constantly is “sick” to her stomache and goes to her family doctor because he keeps prescribing these meds that knock her out. He knows she has Chron’s disease but never says to her “hey I think that the nausea is a side effect of the chron’s and maybe you should go see your specialist.” We (the family) keep telling her that she needs to be cooridinating her medications with her specialist but she refuses to call him or let him know all the various pills that her family doctor is prescribing.

Now she has a kidney infection. She had a urinary tract infection that wasn’t getting any better but instead of going to the doctor during the week she waited until the weekend so that she could go to the ER. Of course they have no idea all the various meds she’s on or been on and so they gave her more pain meds.

I’m not saying that a kidney infection is not serious but I’m starting to think that she might have purposefully waited until she could justify going to the ER because she was out of pain meds. (she called me one night last week asking if I had any for her “back pain”).

Is there anything I can do at this point? I just went over to her house and she was zonked out in bed. I just left because I’m just tired of all of it but my poor dad is over their waiting on her because he just doesn’t get it.

Is there anything I can do or say that might have an impact? How should I deal with this so that I don’t get angry at her?

I was addicted to bath salts, mephedrone, stimulants. I finally had enough and told my mom that I needed help. I have been clean for three months. Is it OK for me to drink once in a while. I never had a problem with alcohol, so don’t see why drinking once in a while would be a problem.

We found out we were losing our house a few months ago, and it’s torn my mom apart – stressed her to no end. She’s finally broken down and decided to leave my father, who’s a drunk alcoholic, drug addict, and pot head. She’s not taking us or my other sister (I have another, but she’s getting married, she’s going off with her man) with her. She doesn’t have the money. Why in HELL she thinks this life is better for us doesn’t get into my head. I’m sobbing, my dad is abusive, he steals the drugs I take for acute migraines I’ve gotten since a baby, he drinks every night with those meds and now he’s smoking pot on top of it all. And she’s LEAVING us with him. What do I do? I have no other family to turn to, none whatosoever. I’m 15 and still have a while to go until I’m legal and can live on my own. I’m scared, I can’t live with him alone. Help me.
I should’ve mentioned I’m homeschooled, it’s extremely hard for me to find adults to talk to about this stuff. My mother also currently has no job, it’s why she’s lived with my dad through-out these years, only for his finical support. She was planning to get one when/if we kept the house, so it’s no surprise she’s leaving and getting one on her own. Talking to a school counselor to find soical service is out of the question though

My husband has progressively turned into an addict. He wasn’t always this way but it runs in his family big time. His mother died very young from cirrhosis along with other relatives. He spent the summer in rehab and now he is worse than ever. He always uses the excuse that relapse is a part of recovery, but to me that should be every now and then not every week! I just don’t see him getting better until I leave and he hits his rock bottom.

I’m 18 years old and have really bad ADHD. I currently have a prescription for 15mg tablets of adderall and my psychiatrist told me I should take it every day twice a day so it stays in my system. I don’t take it every day and rarely take it twice a day because I don’t need it all the time. But when I do take it for school, my mom and sister treat me like some disgusting drug addcit an actually call me that too. If I get a headache or feel sick or if I have any problem whatsoever they automatically say it’s because of my adderall and tell me to stop taking it. I am so sick of being treated badly because I need to take my medicine, especially since I take way less than I’m actually supposed to. What should I do? Am I in the right?

HELP!
She is boarderline homeless draws SSI and is in icu with all her belongings…when and if she gets out she expects my garnadmother to ENABLE her. She was held last year and had my bro. been in the country we could have sighned her into an asyllym now he’s here and she is in a place for use to help her what options do we have???????

whenever i eat, i feel like an animal or something, like i just lost control. i try going for a day or 2 starving or only having a monster or red bull, but then by the second or third day, i binge and just restart the next day. and if i plan on eating an apple and nothing else, if i have bread or something i automaticaly feel defeated and i just binge the rest of the day and restart later. i also excersise a lot! and i take laxatives but they hurt my stomach so i only take 1-3 depending on how “good” or “bad” ive been. and i always try tricks to not eat, like if i go to school, i dont bring money so i won’t eat during that period of time. but whenever i have money, i just think “well i guess it couldnt hurt” and i buy candy. and i sometimes walk home just to buy a bunch of candy and other bad food and then binge and not eat dinner and work out for as long as i can stand.
and whenever i see food i want to eat it, and if it were up to me i’d order like pizza and buy cake and ice cream and eat that all day and then starve for as long as i can. plus, i constantly ask friends and my sister for some of their food and they don’t care because they see me not eat alot but i feel gross. my mom does that too. if i have food she likes she just HAS to sample it and it annoys me because its just a reminder of what i do and shes kinda chubby so it makes me feel like i’ll get chubby..so i dont know what category i fall under. and ive heard of anorexia athletic. could u tell me what that is?

i myself am not an addict , but my boyfriend is/was / hes more then a year sober and hes making responsible decisions.the other night i had friends over that on occasion smoke weed, and instead of chilling with my friends and i , he decided to watch t.v. with my mother , i was outright mad due to all of his friends are the same way , why is there the double standard With him?

Ok so i have a friend. Hes like 16 and he’s really cool. he’s a meth addict. he has ADHD and he’s suppose to be bipolar. He stabbed his mom over a ciggeratte and was addmitted to a physco place. pretty much all he wants is attention. hes an attention seeking meth addict/drug addict, but i know hes better than that. how do you think i should help him not do this to him self. He has his GED and goes to a community college. im not really sure what my question is except how should i make him not be so attention loving.
thanks ya’ll

I know you need to cut druggies off unless they get help but what happens if you also treat them like you hate them?

My brother is on Meth and he did a lot of horrible things to our family over the years. When our Mom passed away I finally retaliated and did a lot of horrible things to him. To be honest though it didn’t make me feel any better.

I am wondering what losing all family support will do to a drug addict?

my life started out as a series of unfortuanet events. i was born in the back of a jeep and thorwn out into The Wild. i then was found and sent to a foster home, and was there till i was about 3. then the hendersons took me home and cared for me. by the time i was still in preschool, i had been a total jerk to all the kids. then i got mad at this kid and i shoved his head into stone so hard his skull had cracked.

i had done worse things from then to about 3rd grade, but by the time i was in 4th grade i was a raging drug addict. I had smoked weed, heroin, coke, crystal meth you name it i did it. by the time i was in the 5th grade i had my own underground fight club system devolped. i was the leader of a group called the bloodhounds. i basiclly transformed nerds and goody two shoes to huge bullies. i sold them drugs all the time and got rich quick. by the time i was in 6th grade, i hit my mother in the head with an axe cause i got real mad at her for making me go out and help with the garden. she had almost died…

by the time i was in 8th grade i shanked my father with a kitchen knife so hard he had lost over half of his blood…. i was sent to juvi and got out recently. i am now 20 and i drink, smoke weed, and do all of this without caring for my famliy and friends. please help me god.

My mother in law forbid me to bring beer to her house last Christmas. I drink maybe once a month and never get drunk (3-4 beers tops). She’s just very religious. So in turn, I forbid her from bringing chocolate bars into my home since she’s a diabetic and it actually harms her. She’s always eying up sweets, so I compare her to a drug addict. Needless to say, she doesn’t appreciate this analogy. What do you think.

Ok so I have this problem with liking “bad boys” I’ve had two live in relationships that both ended with Protection Orders. Well now there’s this guy who I dated about a year ago. We ended things and stayed really good friends. He’s the same type of guy as the first two(and he does weed and drinks to excess) But over the past year I haven’t been able to stop thinking of him as more then a friend and he’s dropped hints that he likes me too. I agree with freud that it stems from my mother who was the same type as these guys. So do I enjoy life with this nut who I know will hurt me or just kind of exist? He’s shorter and thinner then me so I know I wouldn’t need a protection order.
But I have, I’ve been single since we broke up a year ago. I know I define who I am, but these “bad boys” send my blood racing, as oppose to “nice guys” like me. And there is a third factor that all three guys and my mom shares that I haven’t mentioned, so I know he’s got issues.
good boys are boring!

My mother buying the medicine from this doctor. She have a samples of it in a pack box. She not herdself any more when she takes the medicine. She be busting out lanughing for no reason. She be in the resroom for a long time. She be insane crazy and ok the next. She collipase for taking all the amebein cr at one time. She addict to the medicine. So please tell what can i do. Me and mom live in the same apartment complex as my grandmother stay at.

So i just started college…im not a bad kid but iv been through a lot of stuff and im almost about to succeed….but there are some problems in my life that…are really hard to deal with……my mom is trying to kick me out…(we have a lot of fights)…..and im thinking of going and seeing my dad …he is a drug addict btu thats not the point …im really frustrated and cannot even think properly..what should i do?

p.s im not gonna try and reconcile with my mom because she has been wanting me out for a long time know..because of the arguements…i love my family so please dont be harsh..just tell me my options.

My father recently died and he is now living with us. I am living with my mom to take care of her.. He eats, sleeps, and takes her money does not nothing around the house or offer any money for bills. She thinks she is just helping him. He tells her he needs the money for child support.

my kids mother is now a full blown meth addict or ice head, she uses daily and has already caught gonorrhea. at her age of 38, how long can we expect her to live before her body starts failing?

Im 21 and my husband is 22. I love him with all my heart but he has been though so much in life. he’s mother(which was abusive, I mean he has iron marks on his back) and grandmother passed away within a month, later his dad confessed he was adopted(this all happen in his teens) he was kicked out of the army after 1 yr because he did not ask to go to his mothers funeral. anyway he was already doing bad in school and had many bad friends which introduced him to crack. when I met him, he quit went to a program for 8 months and has been clean for over a yr. he does smoke cig here and there not in front of me though. the thing is that he says now he is getting cravings for the crack and he needs me to help him with his thoughts. he says it happens when he gets upset or feels lonely. he says he is trying to fight it and is even looking for another program even though he has not done the drug, just so he can learn to fight those thoughts.

I dont know what to do, he says it has nothing to do with me its a part of the addiction and it’s normal he just needs my support and trust. I’m afraid that the cravings will be too strong and that he is going to run off and do it. I want to help him but dont know how to. we’re going to a church today and a friend told us about both of us joining a ministry about helping children and going to camps and stuff and he loved the idea. what should I do to help him stay off of that nasty addiction, how can I support him like he says?

I nag and fight a lot and take off my ring when we argue he says that needs to stop but can that be a reason to cause an imbalance in his brain and want crack?
