We will help you get your mom off drugs!

She has been drinking for 8 years. She is verbally abusive when drunk. I fear she will die before she gets help.
I’ve had interventions. She’s gone in rehab twice. All she does there is make friends to drink with.
I can put up with seeing her, but it seems pointless because all she does is verbally insult me, for example, I walk in without saying a word to her house, she’ll say, “Yes b—h… I’m f—ing drunk. Leave me alone.”
Most of the time she doesn’t even remember seeing me because she blacks out.
It hurts to see her.
It hurts not to see her.
I think maybe not seeing her until she gets help could be one more bit of motivation to get her to get help.
However I also think she could use it as an excuse to kill herself, the lonliness pushing her over.
Its the ultimate if it doesn’t kill you, it will make you stronger.
I really want it to make her want to get help to be strong
I am in a state (MI) where families cannot force someone to be committed, otherwise I would try

My parents are seperated but there really close(friends).
& I think everytime my dad hang out with my mom he does drugs. I KNOW she does drugs to. All my sisters do. and she is pregnant! What should I do!? Both of my parents ar addicted to drugs & it kills me because they chose it over there own kids and spend money on it then us. :p

and i don’t want to call the cops because EVERYONE would hate me for calling on my parents. Like my older sisters and what is a girl to do.

You are a child. You are a teen. Your mother or father is drunk.
So inhebriated (sp?) that they are pulling knives out of drawers and running around the house after you. They are yelling, screaming, and you never get any sleep, go to school either hungry and tired, with no homework done. What about if they have a gun in the house. Or maybe the screaming and demeaning goes on all of your life. What do you do, when noone will help (usually because of money, or that the parent
can get up go to work and start the cycle at home again. What do you do?

i 18 and i have bipolar and schizoaffective disorder and i just want to escape my life 99% of the time. i really am just not happy at all, i’m way too sensitive and insecure and i’m overweight by 32 pounds. i just don’t have motivation or will to lose it, i guess. it makes me feel dumb. i’m not happy with much in my life at all.

honestly, i’m afraid that i will become a junkie, but i don’t think that will stop me. i just want to be truly happy, but that hasn’t happened all my life. i can’t seem to fully escape my past. i really want to die, but i know that my mother and sister need me to be alive. so i think that doing drungs is better than being dead. i know you guys think i’m stupid, but what i’m telling you is nothing but the truth.

He jokes around a lot about a lot of things, but this is the only thing that really worries me.

I know he used to do heroin when he was a kid, but he quit. he didn’t go to any fancy rehab, or anything, he said he just straight up quit it, that’s what he always told my mother.

He is kind of sick. He has emphysema (won’t quit smoking), glaucoma (just got a cornea transplant and is starting to gain back his sight), and some problem with his kidneys.

I’m 16 and I see him once a week, because that’s all my mother allows me to spend with him, because of his record, and such.

I just don’t know what to do. Sometimes I feel like I’m the adult, and he’s the child.

There is this girl named britney in my town she’s 17 years old and has a 1 year old son. britney and her family have a bad reputation Basically they are well known for causing problems. britney’s mother is a alcoholic who doesn’t have a problem watching her grandson while under the influence. britney’s father committed suicide when she was young sadly although who could blame him, after all that family is trouble. her two brothers are in and out of jail… anyway recently Child Protective Services took her son in their custody because she was snorting prescription pills, smoking crack, and possibly shooting heroin, her son tested positive for drugs.. and because the family is unstable the boy will probably go to a adoption agencie since britney doesn’t know who fathered her son. will she get into trouble for having drugs in her son’s system?
will the mother be sent to juvenile intill she’s 21?
The mother neglects her child by not watching him properly. she takes him out without dressing him warmly Not putting a jacket on him, or hat and gloves. she takes her son out for a walk 2:00 in the morning and later then that strolling him arould when she has no business being out in the first place. she starts fights with people and becomes very violent in front of her son, (she’ll fight another person with her son there)
Because we live in a small town basically everyone is in everybody else’s business therefore rumors are spreading about her alot. of course Child Protective Services did take her child but people are talking about why they took him from her. she deserved it she shouldn’t have children when she can’t even take care of herseif, britney will probably grow up and be just like her mother a alcoholic with four more misfits as children just like her siblings.

Btw before you start yelling, my husband and I have custody of them. They think she’s the living end. They believe everything she says. When she cancels visits, she tells them a load of garbage that makes her shine like a rose. I just bite my lip and be the safety net. I don’t want to badmouth their mother, that’s not what I mean, but I don’t know how good this illusion is for them and if I’m partly at fault for not saying “that’s not true” when they relay some load of crap to me that she said. They really think she is working to get custody of them. She’s not. She was off of heroin for 6 months but now she’s drinking. She just says to them, “I want you to live with me” and “I’m trying to get you to live with me” but she’s not. It’s never going to happen. She won’t work, she strings them along,

They love us, but they want their mom you know?
It’s not just about canceling visits, that’s just an example. It’s everything. How much truth would you give them (if any) about what’s really going on? They are 10 and 11.

For the past several years, every time she talks about my grandmother (my father’s mother) and my aunt (his sister) she always says the same thing, like a broken record. She says, “They are so mentally unhealthy,” and she keeps discussing it, going on and on about how they should get therapy, etc., etc. On holidays, when I go visit my father’s side of the family, she always wants to know when I will be there so she can be there at the same time, like she’s afraid I will talk about her. If I talk to my grandmother on the phone but don’t tell her, she gives me the third degree when she finds out about it. After visiting his side of the family on holidays, she calls me afterward to ask me, “What was your take on everything?” I usually tell her I don’t have a “take” on anything and she seems to get angry. She wants to know who I thought was “unhealthy”, what I thought of their behavior, etc. etc. I know the right answer is to tell her I thought they were unhealthy too but the truth is, I don’t think they are, with the exception of my aunt’s alcoholism. And I really don’t see why we have to constantly evaluate them when we see them. When I visit them, I’m not doing any mental evaluations about them, I’m just visiting. She called me last night, talking about them again. I didn’t jump on the bandwagon with her so I knew there would be another call. Sure enough, she called this morning, going on again and asked me, “What do you think is wrong with all of them?” I told her I don’t see why it matters and she got angry and said, “Well I talked to your uncle about it and thank goodness he sees it like I do.” When she is with them, she is very nice but doesn’t want me to like them for some reason. And she always does this in front of my dad. She wants other people to support her in this in front of my dad. I am so tired of hearing it. Does anyone have any insight into what could be an underlying reason for this?

He uses baking soda from home. He is 24years old. My mother crys like crazy everyday. He use to be 320lbs. Now he is 170 or 180. He looks like he got aids or something. We don’t have money to put him in a rehab. Is this any other strong way which could stop him from smoking crack? Please IMMADIATE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIABLE!!!!!

Im pregnant and my mother all of a sudden has cracked it at me. she get moody now and agian and egts vengful and does spiteful things and is now thinking im this crazy pot addict (me:WTF?)she has actually told DHS this. Is my baby going to be taken off me? what do you thinks goin to happen?
18yo actually

I just watched the post game interview and its the first time I have ever heard him talk, but wow I realize why that probably was. I am pretty sure if there was an award for most down syndrome person without down syndrome he would be a top 3 candidate. Just his speech is enough to make you think that he was dropped or ole boy’s mother was getting her drink an her two step on when she shouldnt have been.

im scared of drugs.
i have my reasons why.
my mom died from them :( so yeah. am i addicted to all drugs?
I mean if i try them

My close friend is doing drugs. She’s a really depressed person, and her only escape is drugs.. but now she’s going overboard. She used to only smoke pot everyday… but now she not only does that, but snorts oxycotin, takes her moms perscription pills etc. She’s addicted to oxycotin. Knowing she does all this to herself, and doesn’t care if she dies or not is killing me. I really want to get her help, because I know I can’t help her myself. She doesn’t think there’s a problem, and she doesn’t want help… but if she keeps doing this to herself it’s going to cause her to die. How can I get her help?

By the way I can’t tell her mom or dad. Her mom has heart problems and can get a heartattack if she’s under too much stress, and her dad doesn’t care.
I cant talk to a school consoulor… schools over.

My ex fiancee and I have a 9 month old baby and she smokes weed. Is there any way for me to get custody of my child with her doing drugs? I don’t drink do drugs or do the whole bar scene? Any suggestions?

I always thought it was weird that my mom would stay in the bathroom for almost an hour, then come out as if she was deprived of sleep for 20 days (unable to keep a conversation, “falling out”, eyes almost completely closed, as if she was standing up asleep. She also drops/spills food). I started looking under the door to see her just standing there doing something or walking around the bathroom to get something. She never ACTUALLY used the bathroom. Yet she was in there for an hour? She started putting a towel under the door after that. I just assumed she wanted her space — I was 8.

Then I started seeing needles in her drawer. I started seeing little baggies in the garbage and around the bathroom. I put my ear to the door and hear sounds (like…hitting a needle). I just assumed it was medication — she had been diagnosed with depression quite a few years ago.

She goes to a methadone clinic. I asked what it was, and she said it was for her depression. I never bothered to think about it.

Now, I’m 13 years old. I did some research and found out that EVERYTHING leads to heroin. Methadone is medication for heroin addicts. Yet, I don’t want to confront her carelessly when I could just be paranoid. But the possibility of her doing heroin is obviously extremely high (given that you just read all the evidence that I wrote.)

What should I do?
I don’t really have contact with any of her family. I mean, I know I have an uncle that lives in New Jersey but I don’t know his number (I also live in New York).

My father lives in queens (and as I said I live in New york) and I only see him once every one to two weeks. I don’t really feel close to him either, which would be it difficult to bring up such a topic.

I also don’t like my step-father too much. Although I think he may know something, I don’t think he knows too much about it. I don’t like talking with him.

I think my sister might know too, but I don’t see her that often. My brother might know (I doubt it) but I’m not that close to him either, plus he doesn’t live with me.

I definitely know that my mother’s cousin is directly involved, but I have no way of contacting him.

I don’t have anyone to talk to. I considered telling a friend that I know won’t judge me, but I’m still too hesitant and scared.
