We will help you get your mom off drugs!

I’ve only ever had a sip of red wine and beer from my dad, I’m a good girl :) I didn’t like the taste of it, is that just because I’m under age or will I never like it? My mom doesn’t like alcohol either.
Thanks!

and the natives didn’t know how to drive, so she came home one night with alot of bacon for breakfast the following morning, but it wasn’t really bacon?

yes i know… i’m bored

My mom is an alcoholic and it is really stressful and upsetting sometimes. Does anyone have suggestions on ways to talk to my mom and tell her how i feel? Have your feelings toward ur parent changed?

I’m the mother of 4, never drank and always pounded it into my kids. I’ve lost 1 child, and another is a alcoholic and afraid of losing her

I’m a recovering meth addict, but my kids dad just can’t kick it. He’s been in and out of prison, and now he just got released and already using. He isn’t even concerned with being sent to prison becouse his P.O. told him he’ll just have to go to a Soberliving home. I’m trying to stand by him but with disappearences and when he does show up I really don’t want my son to see him. He says that he wants to stop but I don’t see that happening. He beg’s me NOT to leave him, that I’m the only good he has in his life. But yet he rather still get high. To be very sincere, I don’t want to leave becouse then I know I’ll always wonder what if? So if there’s any recoved drug addicts that do have a success story please let me know. I know that as drug addicts everyday is just one more day that we have again been able to say no, but I know that there’s days when we can’t. And that I understand, but I don’t understand him anymore. He’s just doing it because he has money, or he got mad it his mom.

2 Questions:

A. Did your mother drink alcohol when you were in her womb;

B. Have you ever had a concussion or head injury?

C. None of the above

?

I just turned 21 last week (legal drinking age) and the last time my family ordered at a diner mom ordered lemonade, dad ordered pepsi, brother had sprite, and I said “Bud Light”.

I don’t know I just felt a little awkward drinking alcohol in front of them just because I can now.

Anyone else ever get this feeling? Does it bother you or no?

am i alone in this
i never said it was MY mom you sick perverts

…how on earth you are going to make it through the day after a completely sleepless night? My Daughter is 4 months and teething and she has decided that sleep is for the weak and that she can refrain from it for anything up to 17 hours straight. I’ve tried coaxing her and even whispering in her ear that it’s fashionable to be late so lets sleep in late in the morning but she is having none of it, instead opting to just play all night long but not by herself, oh no, with me by her side. Ordinarily I would let her just lay in her crib and entertain herself if she wasn’t crying or hungry but my Husband works until 3am in the morning and gets in exhausted, so her ‘singing’ (as we like to call it) is rather loud when you’ve just worked 20 hours straight.

Anyway, this isn’t about him as he’ll be asleep now until noon and then will start all over again. It’s about me, moi, Mother dearest – I need to know how on earth to make it through the day when you’ve literally had no sleep and Friday just gelled in Saturday.

I wish I drank Coffee or smoked crack (joke) – seriously though, some safe stimulant would be great right now but instead I guess I’ll have to go with dunking my head in a sink full of freezing cold water while my Daughter sings along to Old McDonald.

Any tips on making it through the day? Do you ever wake up and think “Why me? Why me God? Please, just give me a break” or can you at least humor me and tell me that one day, it will get better (no doubt when she is about 18 and ready to leave home, lol).

Mmmm sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Long question, but please read!!

So I’m 25 years old. My mother is 55. Growing up she drank some and I didn’t really approve of the home situation I had, but things were relatively “normal”. She still cooked, cleaned, spent time with me, and took me places. Well now I’m grown but I have a 17 year old brother at home. Over the last I’d say 5 years my mom has went downhill so fast. She started drinking more and more. Before she would talk badly about people who drank during the day and all day, then she turned into one of those people. She drinks from the time she wakes up until she passes out at night. She quit taking care of herself, she let her hair go, started dressing something to the extent of a 14 year old in the year 1995, and does nothing but drink. She sits at home on the couch, or wandering blankly around her house like she’s in another world. Her speech gets slurred, her hair gets like a rats nest, and she gets this look on her face that word’s can’t describe. She used to be relatively smart but the longer this goes on the more her brain deteriorates. She’s beginning to act like she can’t even carry on an adult conversation. It’s sad to watch but also infuriates me that it has came to this level. I am ashamed to go in public with her, and I really just want my mom back. I really have no other family besides my brother and I live long distance now. I come in about once a year for a few months to visit and when I do this is all I see. Other than that she nickel and dimes me to death to buy beer and cigarettes and tries to make me feel bad when I do not give her money. She is on a very limited income and besides the power bill, beer is her #2 priority. It’s been like this for 5 years now and I just can’t take it anymore. I’m in town right now visiting and after trying to help her various ways, numerous times I really don’t think there is any hope left. It hurts so bad and makes me so angry that I am filled with this hate and anger that is building up inside me. I love with her all of my heart, well, the idea of her, but I can’t take it. When I go back home I just want to change my number and loose contact with her for 6 months, a year, I don’t know, I just don’t want to watch her drink herself to death…Please help!!!
My brother is 18 in two months, and he will be gone from there…But he and I are very close and I will always keep in touch with him….

I saw this question

and thought to myself, nope I don’t feel like a loser when it comes to my mother but I do feel as though my mother is a total loser when it comes to me. I know this sounds harsh but my mother didn’t raise me, I was raised by my aunts because my mother was too busy with her life and her drug habit. My mom was one of those functional addicts (she worked for CPS and everything)
but she smoked crack and did cocaine throughout her day. Growing up was hard with her and she has yet to even mumble the words “sorry”

Are you disappointed in your parents?

What ever happened to Scooter, the pug stolen by an alcoholic and given as a Christmas present? The pug was stolen in Dallas, TX and given away as a Christmas present by a little girl’s alcoholic mother. The pug is likely OUT OF STATE as suggested by the letter the thief sent the pug’s rightful owners. You can read an article about it at http://www.newschannel5.tv/2008/1/4/984729/ Does anyone know if there has been any developments in the case? I posted the same question about six months ago and still haven’t heard anything new. I can’t imagine that they haven’t solved the crime yet. It made national news and you’d think someone must have figured out who the little girl was.

I seen this story on the news tonight about a kid that was born addicted to heroin.He has all kinds of health problems and needs assistance just to read……. yet he has won an award for an Essay to pass a law that requires people on wellfare to be tested for drugs. if they fail and refuse rehab they lose their wellfare assistance.They should deffinetely pass that.his mother abanoned him when he was a baby but he has one of the most positive attitudes I’ve ever seen.

My mom called alcohol devil’s cool drink and cigarettes were Satan’s sticks!! We were not allowed to swim for about 30 min after eating in case we got sick lol….

I’m having a quandary here. My friend writes to two women ( a mother and her daughter!) that are currently serving time in prison. The mother is due to be released in 2012 ( she allegedly murdered her landlord, when she found out he had molested her daughter.) BUT, the daughter was traumatized and ended up in foster homes after foster homes, ( and was sexually abused numerous times as well) the thing is, when she grew up, she got married, and was on crack and kidnapped three teenage girls and made them into *sex slaves* and her husband made them smoke crack. MY opinion is that no matter what happened to HER, she should have NEVER committed this crime. I *might* write to her mother, but I’m leery of writing to the daughter. Any opinions? This is a true story.

My brother recently came to town with his new girlfriend, and my mom found that the perfect opportunity to get plastered and act like a 13 year old boy who drank for the first time, cursing, flirting with the neighbor’s husband, and trying to hold her head up, spilling beer all over herself, and eventually ending up horizontal and getting a birthday-style spanking (keep in mind it wasn’t anyone’s birthday) in my brother’s lap.

She embarrassed my brother in front of his new girlfriend, and she and my brother both embarrassed me with their too close for comfort drunken games. So after dealing with that image being seared into my mind, I’m trying to figure out how I could bring a guy back from college and let him meet my family without running him off. It’s an unfortunate situation, because I’d really like to meet a guy who is nothing like that, but I don’t have the nice family or nice house to bring him back to.

Also, it seems like if I say anything negative about my family, or give a “heads up” warning, I’ll look like a jerk who doesn’t care about her own family, which would reflect on me just as badly as if I didn’t say anything.

What can I do?

have you ever left someone alone ( you were in a relationship with ) for a long time because even though things were not horrible you knew they may never get better? my recent ex of 4 years i love him to death i feel like we are perfect for each other – but we have so much drama that when he told me to leave because of something that happened i did and i havent been back ive talked to him one time in a week and a half and it wasnt pretty – his mommah is out of control she smokes crack – steals from everyone ( includeing me and her son ) she doesnt pay any bills, doesnt clean up, has a smart mouth – my boyfriend doesnt understand why i dont want her in my house, i would never make him choose between us – thats his mother – he says it wont be like that forever but i know shell never be able to take care of herself – she makes comments to me so he cant hear them and when i say something he only hears me n thinks im starting the drama. he has put her out b4 but she
comes right back
and i wont lie i wouldnt let my mommah run the streets either and not let her be safe when i can provide that – i left and i doubt ill go back – but its so hard because when it was just me and him living together we had so fewer problems and doesnt understand where im coming from – his nana used to take care of his mother ( support her and her habit ) and she passed away – when she did he promised her he would take care of her and his little brother ( who finally grew up and got a job i am happy for him and proud of him ) and i promised i would watch out for him – i dont even know why i put this question up there – maybe i really just want to hear someone else say yeah i left someone i loved with all my heart becasue it wasnt right at the right time -

In the past two years I have lost my father, underwent an enormous home renovation while living there, had a breast cancer scare, lost my year old granddaugther when her mother abruptly moved away with her, put my son through drug rehab for cocaine addiction, lost my job of 9 years and am now looking for a new one, my second son decided to live with his father, I will be turning 50 next week and my husband and I are separated because he feels I haven’t been there for him. My extended family all lives 1200 miles away and my few friends I have locally are married with busy lives of their own. I feel so alone and depressed. I don’t know how to handle all of this. I cry all the time despite the fact that I exercise regularly and eat healthfully. I go to church but dont know how to fit in. It seems no one really needs friends but me. I’m certain there are others out there who do, but I don’t know how to find them. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

My sister is a drug addict. She is 36 and has done drugs since she was about 14. She has been in and out of rehab. She stopped doing illegal drugs and now has a doctor that gives her Soma and Lorcet 10 ever 2 weeks like clockwork. She has a 12 year old daughter that just got out of a behavior hospital for kids because of the way her mother has treated her for her entire life. Her son just turned 18 and spent his 17th year locked up in a place for youth offenders for doing and selling drugs. Is there anything in the world that can be done to put a stop to my half-sister? Oh, by the way, she OD’d tonight and she didn’t die.

he can’t seem to see or understand the problems america has, why should he be able to see or understand the problems a person has.
My own mother left me when I was 13 for a life of debauchery. but i saw that in her. And i accepted her for her decisions.

what i am referring is the fact that many people could never accept that their mothers had problems, just as many people can’t seem to be able to accept that america has problems. if you say something is wrong in America, they say you are blaming America First. it is just a juvenile way of thinking. not aknowledging the problems america has will only allow them to get worse.

I love it, so therefore, it must be perfect is just a very juvenile way of thinking.
when we were upset at the war bush started all those hypocrits told us to leave the country. well, america is obamas now, if you don’t like it, get the f*** out
