We will help you get your mom off drugs!

character must be young, with a drug addicted mother who vanishes and the daughter ;character) has to move in with the grandmother who she never met and is distant and strange. The character can be any age, but pref. a teenager.
…..My daughter is reading for this part but nothing was sent to read so I am searching for a character and script for her to prctice with and read at the audition. Search your brains and maybe you can come up with a character that sounds similar.

I have posted on this before, my husband found out he has a daughter he knew nothing about…she’s 10 and lives in Australia with her Mother and her half brother. We were so surprised when the Mother got in touch a few months ago, did a paternity test and yes she’s my husbands. We wondered why the MOther had suddenly decided to get in touch and I was a bit suspicious, now we find out that her and her husband (who though the little girl was his) are divorcing and he is going for custody…the Mother is an ex prostitute and drug addict, it is looking like he will get custody of his son but there is a question mark over the little girl…I dont think the Mother is being straight with us…courts dont tend to award custody to Dads unless the Mother is a bad one right? Now she has asked if the little girl can stay with my husband and our family for two weeks in July whislt she the Mother goes to Ireland for a holiday with her friends…my husband has planned to go to Oz in JAn. to meet his
Daughter anyway…but I am so suspicious of the MOther…she seems to be not telling the whole story to us…she says the her ex husband is violent…but why would the court grant him custody of his son if this were the case…alarm bells are ringing in my head…my MIL and my Mum agree with me…what’s her game? My husband is naieve at the best of times…what is going on here?

Me and my mom know nothing about each other. when i was just a month old she was sent to a mental hospital when i started elementary school she came back home she also started working so i barely saw her.she would leave before i was gone and would not be hope until 10 and i would be sleeping by that time when she was not working she went to bingo so i would barely see her.when i was in the 7th grade she stopped working then she started to drink she would hit me and have arguments with me and she still does i currently in the 11th grade. sometimes i wish she was not my mother. what should i do ?

I disagree with the idea completely because they should be giving up the bottle by 1. She never cries for the bottle with me and drinks from a sippe cup or regular cup. It seems that she only wants it when she is with my mother in law. My husband thinks nothing is wrong with that but I do. What do you all think about this situation? What should I do about it?
I threw out the bottles a long time ago. It seems as though they have her spoiled. She doesn’t drink from the bottle all the time but every once in a while when she cries they spoil her with it. Thanks for all your advice people!!
Does anyone know what damage this can do to the teeth? Any helpful websites or pictures perhaps?

So here’s the deal. My mom has temporary custody of my daughter. My ex and I got evicted from our place, and that’s when she stepped in and tried to “help” I was never a bad mother, and he was never a bad father. I have no criminal record, and I’m not addicted to any drugs. I’m just completely lost and I feel like I’m the only person in the world who this has happened to. My mom doesn’t comply with the court order either. My mom never lets me see her. I just need some advice to ease my mind. I need some help.

Her mother got temporary custody during a divorce because she filed first. She is a known drug addict, crack, pills and pot and we fear that she is still using around the baby.
We have had wellness checks done by the local police several times and there was nothing found as far as the baby being in danger.
How can we have our grandchild checked to make sure that she is not exposed to drugs?

i woke up in the middle of the night . i walked to the bathroom . i seen my step daughter naked in the living room having phone sex on the sofa , when she seen me she throw the phone away . and acted like sleeping . i told her mother she said she is s girl and leave her alone . she is only 12 yrs . and i wanna tell something ,,, her mother addicted to phone sex too … so what do u think ?

I’m very strict, my mom will let my 14 yr old daughter do anything she wants and I’m tring not to divide them but she somewhat conviencing to my daughter that she’s right and I’m wrong.because I just over came an abusive relationship, now she feel that she’s better than me for what someone else did to me. I over came this and has still maintain to be a great parent. My mom was drug addict when i grew up, and I was a young mother trying to growup from negative life style with men because of neglect! Now i know better, but I’m guarding my daughter because i don’t want her to go through what I went through when my mom wasn’t there. I really don’t want to keep pulling on my daughter because I feel this will disturb her. If it hasn’t already. My mom just now stop or slowed down from drugs, but she drinks in front of the kids and i hate it! Sometime I want to change my number, cut all ties because everything I’ve been working on with my duaghter will fall. What would you do.
I tried talking & she’s in another state, but phone call, planning trips behide my back, getting my sister to set it up. I have to withdraw my daughter from both of them, it hurts.If I was sure that she wouldn’t let my daughter run the street, teach her with all her heart the real definition of right & wrong. and not be so lose. It’s like she trying to make it up to her what she didn’t do for me, and is defensive when you even attemp to talk about the pass. I’ve tried talking it alway end in an arguement. She think that I’m disrepecting her just to say anything about it. But that how i over came my pass was talking about it! Not to live life like it never exsisted. Also my grandma taught me to love her no matter what and I do, That why It’s so hard. But she dangerous for me and my daughter relationship because she giving her the impression that it’s ok to spend the night over friend house but their life is similar to my moms. I like to double check ppl’s life style for saftey reasons.

I want to show her how i feel about it

We live in Indiana and my sister in law told my mother in law today that her and her boyfriend and there two young kids are going to up and move to Illinois to get away from family. We have recently caught on to them doing drugs, by the way. We believe she is addicted to pain pills and doing meth. They are going to Illinois, and they will have no where to live, healthcare, etc… Is there anything I can do or is this some form of neglect??? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

I know that this may sound selfish and I should know better at 48 but when I met this woman a year ago, we totally fell for each other and then came the 10 yr old daughter. I know enough about how difficult this is and it’s the whole package or none, but it’s very difficult. You can’t be the father and it’s hard to discipline someone else child. It frustrates me because this child is literally disconnected from the world in front of a TV like no one I have ever seen and so addicted to it. She constantly is making a pig pin out of my house when they spend weekends with me. Stays up til 1-2 in the morning interrupting any alone time I have with her mother, and everything revolves around her. Yes she’s a kid and only 10, but give me a break, how do you get past all that. I’m always biting my tongue and wish I could straighten her out once and for all but I’m not her dad. I love her mother but I’m afraid this will be the thing that could destroy our relationship. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
She is a sweet and outgoing child and I know she loves me, but what do I do?

I just found out she is using again. She denies it. I just had thyroid cancer and just can’t do it anymore, the lies, etc. SHould I have her move out? She is bipolar but I have given her my all for yrs now…stress is too much now and I am single mom with a 8 yr old daughter at home too. Suggestions please….

his ex has been having some girl living with her who i knew from years ago(she dated my cousin probably 15 years ago) this lady living with them is a known drug user crack and herion He has joint custody right now(we have her 6 months out of the year, week to week) This lady is bad news and the mother also has checked her self into rehab about 3 years ago. We have his daughter right now, and she doesnt want to go home anymore but the custody agreement says week to week the mother lives in a neighborhood that is not very nice and brook is not allowed outside over there Should we call CYS and can they really do anything about this person with only hearsay custody is such a horrible process but what can we do please help
we want her to come with us…love her like my own….i have raised 2 girls of my own who are 21 and 18……..we are calling the lawyer in the morning……..we just didnt know if CYS would investigate someone that is living with the mother
we just dropped the daughter off at camp this afternoon for a week so we have a week to figure something out before she gets back here

My boyfriend, James, and I have been together for three years.
We both have children from previous relationships. (I have twins Maddiie and Lilly (5) and he has Olivia (4))

Maddiie and Lilly spend every other weekend with their biological dad.
Olivia has lived with us since she was eighteen-months old, her mother had alcohol and drug problems and hadn’t seen Olivia since she gave her to us.

But recently she has been demanding to see Olivia, she has been to rehab and cleaned herself up. James has said that she can have supervised visits with Olivia to begin with as it has been so long they haven’t seen one another and basically Olivia’s mother is a stranger to her.

Olivia’s mother is not happy with this and is now fighting for full custody of her daughter. We know she will not get it because she doesn’t know the first thing about Olivia. James will never give her full custody of Olivia.

Are we doing the right thing by asking for supervised visits to start off with and then working our way up to unsupervised visits and then eventually overnight stays?
Is it worth introducing Olivia to her mother when James and I both fear she will only hurt Olivia when she cannot get what she wants… full custody.
She has turned her back on her daughter once, we both believe that she will do it again.

James and I want what is best for Olivia. Can anyone offer any advice?

my parents divorced dad alcoholic mom (i found her pot) and ever since that even though we talked about it and fixed the broken bridges i just dont even want to give her the time of day and i just cant figure how to make things beter like we barly even talk and the more she leaves me alone the happier i am but she just doesnt get it and like we fight almost twice a week (which somethimes i like b/c we actually get some where and lose some frustration) but i really just want some 1 to talk to but i dont even think i can trust her b/c she tells her friends and then they make fun of me about it and i think she thinks that the more stuff she buys me the less unhappy i will be and then she holds it over my head like i just bought u that new coach purse and u wount even talk to me but its just like i have no energy or ne purpse to open my mouth and tell her about my day when she asks me and if i do its all yes and no answers so plz help me
oh yeah im 13
cant move in with dad hes a danger to himself

refuses to get out of house or have a man in her life
i know its sounds like a mess but life turns sometimes into a tough directions .why should she worried so much?

Okay so my mom and I have a very confusing relationship. I feel I have lost our bond and connection as mother and daughter. It started when I was 15 and she told me that I had been raped at 4 years old and she never prosecuted the person for it. She is an alcoholic and in the past was addicted to drugs. I have tried my best to forgive her for the things she has done in the past but am having a hard time doing that. I don’t like my mom to take my daughter for very long because she starts drinking and I don’t want her around that. So I feel bad that my daughter does not spend as much time with her as she does with my mother in law (my daughter is almost 15 months). My mom has been in and out of relationships more times than I can count. She just sleeps with people and ends up dating them and lets them use her. I can’t look up to that and say that is who I want to be. I want my daughter to feel safe around my mom and I don’t want my feelings to rub off on her. I also don’t want to be fake about it anymore. I have talked with my mom before about how I feel and it goes in one ear and out the other and then she starts making me feel like the bad guy for feeling that way. The other day I talked to my mom and she announced to me that she was planning on getting married next year. The man she is planning on marrying is my real dad’s ex best friend and he has been around the family for years. He has no job and stays with my mom while she supports him. He also says he has been clean from meth since February. For some reason she can not see that he is clearly a loser and has no respect for her at all. She thinks they are “in love” and she wants to marry him. I know I sound extremely selfish right now but if you were in my shoes you would understand more clearly. My mom has already had 2 divorces and they are men just like the guy she is with now. It also hurts because I have not seen my dad sine I was 7 and he does not want to see me. I feel like my mom is not thinking clearly and I don’t know how much longer I can take this. What do I do about all of this? Sorry it’s so long.

I am a single father of a two year old girl. My ex and I split because she wouldn’t quit using drugs. At first it was marijuana then she started getting real skinny. I caught her shooting up and since she had custody, I called DHS and she admitted she had been injecting crystal meth.

I now have custody and she’s been ordered to rehab. She now says she is going. mind you I got custody about 10 months ago. She still has not completed it, and has told me that she had been injecting heroin for the last few months prior to getting to rehab. I asked her if she could pass a drug test and she told me the only thing in her system is marijuana, but has quit that now.

My attorney told me not to let her see our daughter without professional supervision. She tries to guilt trip me in to seeing her, and to an extent it’s working. I told my ex that I would help her pay for the visit, but she had to schedule. She never has.

I want my daughter to know her mother. What should I do?

I really need to know what to do here because I can’t seem to get the proper help from the state or from other places I’ve called. Main problem is money as well as the mothers ability to lie and deny.

The problem is me and my wife were married for 3 years, together for 5. We were on oxycontin for a year and I got off of it because I didn’t want to stay on them and continue being sick. I just got medicine and quit, and she was going to do the same. She did not, but she also had legitimate back pain and had a prescription. She did say she was weening her self down.

A year later she is still doing them and even more than before. she had resorted to shooting them up for a while. She then supposedly went into the ER twice, once in each county near here, for drugs because she ran out and then spent 3 days in a rehab type place because she was going through bad withdrawals before her prescription was filled. She was then removed from the pain meds in march she told me and had to go cold turkey and one month after that she is now back to shooting them up, but says she’s not addicted and is doing them recreationally. She has physically shown me the track marks on her wrist, not her bicep. They are on her wrist and totally visible if you look at them. Her own mother even seen and felt them.

Now I’ve called DCF twice on her about this because she will leave the child at home with her grandma and not say anything, or leave notes before the child wakes up. She spanks her with a 5 gallon paint mixing stick because she said last time she used her hand that she broke a blood vessel in her pinky. She lives in a bad neighborhood now and has told me that she knows the 2 people across the street deal drugs (surprise! she knows and I wonder why) and that she has heard 2 times of the back door handle being jiggled like someone trying to break in. She loans her car out to drug dealers because it’s about to be repossessed and she figures that if they get arrested in it and it’s taken who cares, she scored pills or money. I could go on for a while but this is the more severe stuff. Her grandmother is upset that she leaves the child with her and that she will loan her car out.

Now the problem is that she is a great liar and good at deception. I’m really starting to think she’s a sociopath for her behavior over the last year. I dunno if she was always this way but she has gotten worse over the year. She had me and her mother arrested for battery. With me she thought I was cheating on her because of her own cheaters paranoia and attacked me. The arrest is gone, never went to court because my lawyer dealt with the state attorney. She lies about stuff she has shown and told me because she’s so paranoid I’m recording everything in person or on the phone. She swore I had our house bugged before we moved out of it and wouldn’t speak of anything unless we went out in the yard that she could get in trouble in court for like lying in court or her drug use.

She told my best friends gf she was still doing the drugs and that if we broke up again she’d tell the state I molested my daughter. She did try it but it didn’t work. She lies and lies and lies some more and always seems to get away with it.

When she was on drugs and dealt with dcf, she had a prescription but did way more so she always had a reason for having it in her system. Now she’s clean and I know she’s shooting up and she still shows up clean but she also isn’t getting it as much but craves for it like when she first got hooked and said the other day to her mom she almost sold some GI pills that looked the same because she was desperate. However now that she isn’t addicted where she will get sick, she still has visible track marks on her but nothing seems to be done by the state about it and the state always seems to rush things and doesn’t let you tell them the whole story in detail as I can do here.

My 4 year old daughter never wants to go back to her mother when I bring her back. She immediately gets depressed looking and says I don’t want to see mommy, I don’t love mommy, mommies mean, mommy hits me, etc. She will not really talk about it with me much because she just gets really quiet when I ask or starts saying what she sees trying to change the subject. The most I ever got her to say was “Mommy is mean and she hurts me when she hits me and I don’t want to see Mommy” It’s a struggle to give her back to the mother and always results in me staying for hours to calm her down because she doesn’t want me to leave. My wife has admitted to hitting her at least every 3 days because she acts up.
She has even called her own mother and said that she doesn’t know what to do with the baby and I would only do things like go get groceries or take a trip to best buy.

Really the list goes on and on but this is a good summary of the situation. I’ve tried to
What can I do? nothing seems to work. DCF doesn’t ever do Sphit and the courts don’t seem to care without video proof. But I have about 50 pictures of her passed out all over from her drugs. She refuses to admit she has a problem still and says she’s a good mother. She has moved 3 times in under 3 months because of her drugs and being kicked out. No one can see this but me and her close family and I was told a march-man act won’t work because she can’t be proven a danger to herself or others. I’ve tried once with a baker act for her behavior since she admits to me she was bi polar. I really am clueless on how to stop her and get her help. I don’t want to take my daughter from her, she did it to me for a few months and it wasn’t a happy time. I just want to have at least 50% custody like now but have her a normal mother who isn’t running around for smack.
I am not with her, we got back for 2 months and that ended with the arrest because she was STILL on drugs and I confronted her about it.

The only reason the divorce isn’t active is because of how she lied to get more custody so I stopped that dead in it’s tracks and proceeded to get more evidence, which the judge didn’t care about. Pictures to a judge I was told don’t seem to work because it shows a small moment of what is going on. But the pictures of her passed out over months time span I guess don’t show she’s an addict passing out sitting up all the time and sprawled across the bed funny.

As I said the biggest part right this moment is the money. I’m so broke I can barely get by because of saturation in my market. I want to get a PI and find out. I would love to tell the cops about the drug dealings but I dunno if they’d stake her out for that. friend of hers called once and told them where she was once and they couldn’t pull her over cuz she drove perfect.
I am also not letting my daughter go back because I have to be tough and tell her to get help. I know at this point if I gave her back that she wouldn’t let me see her for a while.

It’s funny she can tell me no but I can’t say no.

She uses my daughter as a pawn claiming she’s all she has left. The truth is she has nothing because what I didn’t take in the split she sold and spent the money and then wants me to pay her more. Most of the stuff she sold was mine anyway while I wasn’t there.

She’s not a close friend but her daughter is nearly part of our family. She’s hung out with my kids since she was about 8, and she is now 15. Her mother is drunk every day on vodka. She is a single mother and gets state aid, but uses the money for alcohol and drugs. Her daughter knows this but I try to keep things positive. I have hired her to study with my son so she has responsibilities and can earn money. This also keeps both their grades up. I also have her babysit some. This way I can tell her if she hangs out with druggies (there is a meth house 2 doors away from hers), then she can’t babysit, and she loves my kids so this works so far. Her mom ignores her, usually doesn’t care where she’s at or who she’s with. I’m always the one checking up on her, giving her money for school functions, paying for her school physical, pool pass, activity pass, and today her school pictures. Her mom has escaped the system many times from child abuse to drugs so that’s not the answer. But what is?
