We will help you get your mom off drugs!

I was very close friends with a girl about a year or two ago. We did the usual low key drugs and drank together. We were best friends before that even started. I tryed very hard to not even let her smoke pot because I knew she had such an addictive personality. I have never been closer with anyone in my life than I was with her. Long story short she got involved with a guy and he warped her and convinced her that I was a loser. I never forgave her and we are acquantices now, with deep wounds. I am drugfree now. I still care about her very deeply. She became a pothead. I found out today that she is using heroin. She is not even 17 years old. This is not the country it is washington DC. Her father died about 2 years ago and her mother gave up trying to protect her a long time before that. I was the last person to find out and I guarantee that I will be the first if not only person to act. Does anyone have any advice? Take into account I talk to her about once every 6 months very briefly.

My name is Amber, and I myself am not an alcoholic. My mother, however, has been an alcoholic for my entire life and I just found this out recently. She’s taken major steps in hiding her alcoholism from my sister and I but the unavoidable happened. Though I don’t know much about her alcoholism just yet, I’ve asked doctors if the trigger might possibly be PMDD. The doctor who specializes in women and the effects that such a disorder might have told me that PMDD could absolutely be a trigger in my mother’s alcoholic fits. She will only drink every few months, but every time she does it’s a few days before and during her menstrual cycle. For as long as she has been drinking she absolutely refuses to seek any professional help. Her first marriage crumbled because of this, and now her second with my step father is nearly over as well.
I just wish to talk to someone to help me with guidance. I’m completely lost at how to approach her and tell her that this problem that she’s been having for over twenty years might just be set off by a chemical imbalance. It would really help me if I could talk to someone that I knew might be having or had the same problem as my mother. I implore you to read this knowing that the woman who has taken care of me for seventeen years is now in dire need of my help. Please, please help me.

INDIANAPOLIS — A 2-year-old boy was pronounced dead after he was found beneath his passed-out mother — who investigators say admitted she’d been drinking — in an Indianapolis motel room early Wednesday, according to police. Latasha McMorris’ boyfriend found the two on the floor of an EconoLodge motel room on North Shadeland Avenue and, noticing that the boy wasn’t breathing, called 911 at about 12:30 am, police said. The boy, Sheldon Bartley Jr., was taken to Community East Hospital.

Mother charged in toddler death had troubled history

Jeremy Brilliant/Eyewitness News

Indianapolis – A toddler was found dead in a motel and now his mother is being charged in his death. It’s not the first time LaTasha McMorris, 24, has been in trouble for a crime involving alcohol and her children.

Last summer, a judge convicted her of neglect of a dependent. In fact, she was on probation when officers arrested her early Wednesday morning.

On July 19th, 2007, neighbors called police to report two children running loose in the street in the 100 block of Bosart Avenue. Their mother, witnesses said, was clearly under the influence of alcohol. McMorris was arrested for felony neglect of a dependant and public intoxication.

According to court documents, LaTasha was so drunk she fell to the ground while talking to a police officer.  Her blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.

McMorris pleaded guilty and in October was sentenced to one year probation. In the four months since the conviction, she violated the terms of probation at least twice by not getting a job, not completing 24 hours of community service and failing a sobriety test. 

McMorris told a probation officer she “has had a drinking problem and never stopped drinking. She further stated that she has been drinking for ten years and everyone in her immediate family has a problem drinking.” In the past two months, police arrested McMorris on four separate occasions for public intoxication: twice in December and twice in January.   

After the October conviction, her children, two-year-old Sheldon Bartley and a six-year-old daughter, were both placed in the custody of their grandparents. Who took care of them after that is unclear. According to a statement from Child Services:  “DCS will conduct a complete and intensive review to verify all information and facts.”

got any treatment. But she did have two liver biopsy’s .. They said nothing bad on her liver.. She says. her Liver hurts all the time.. She drank a glass of wine last night. Will that one glass of wine hurt her?
She refuses to go back to the gi doctor. What can i expect from her health now? I’m working really hard to have a career in law enforcement.. But my mother’s health is also worrying me.. I can’t get her to go back to the GI Doctor for her Hep C treatment. The reason she give to me is that her best friend had hep c too. And her best friend had the hep c treatment and her best friend died of liver cancer on Jan 12 of this year.
Sorry about how long this question is… Please help with good advice… Thanks in advance.

Im 22 and my b/f is 29. He still lives at home. My mom wasn’t very fond of him to begin with. The other day she was reading the paper and found out his father got a DWI. (This is his 3erd one too.) Although she doesn’t know that.
Now my mom HATES me going over there…Can you blame her?

I know that if the mother smokes crack while pregnant, that is harmful. But is there anything in the sperm? Is there any chances for birth defects ? Im very concerened. For those of you who have knowledge, please respond. Thanks.
