We will help you get your mom off drugs!

We were in my livingroom just listening to music and talking and she pulled out a meth pipe. Somehow it ended up going around the circle. When I said I didn’t want to do it everybody laughed and called me weak. I took her pipe and smashed it on the floor. They all kicked my ass but I’m guessing in the end it was worth it because I learned how to truly back one of my friends up! Then I went and told her parents. Was that the right thing to do?

My daughter has danced since age 3. And has been on a competition dance team for the past 4 years. I wish she would hang with the girls she dances with rather then the girls that do nothing but get in trouble. She talks about quiting dance because her friends that are in trouble and do nothing are pressureing her to quit. it’s like “loosers hate winners” Her mother is in rehab for drugs. I have custody of her. Anyway I know that the crowd you hang with is a big influence in what you do. I want her to choose her dance friends over her “looser” friends. PLEASE HELP

I have a friend that has had a real messed up life. No matter how much love I tried to give her nothing seems to even heal the scars in her past. No matter what I have always gave my attention and my full advice no matter how harsh. Truth is the truth. I started to become more than her friend. More like her mother. I just tried so hard to keep my cool when I knew that the horrible things she has been doing for her whole life. I didn’t judge her for the past I judged her for what she did recently. She calls me out of no where and tells me that she F-ed up and she smoked crack with her friends. She has done it before and it made me EXTREMELY MAD! I couldn’t even talk to her on account of me just being tomato faced red of embarrassment that my friend would pull a Whitney Houston. No longer did I hate her but I despised her actions. Soon a few days later she tells me that she had a one night stand with a abuser of an ex boyfriend. Then came to find out that she might be pregnant. THANK GOODNESS she wasn’t! But even the scare makes things stressful. Ive always known she had been taking meds like ceracil and lithium. HARD PRESCRIPTION! And recently I found out that she has been in a mental hospital for trying to committe suicide by taking 10 lithiums. I dont know what to do and how to react I really love and care for her but whats a girl to do when Ive never had a un normal friend. PLZ I have no clue what to do. I want to feel sorry for her but that doesnt seem enough.

Her mom drinks because she’s loosing most of her family, and my friend, can’t stand her mom, so it’s like she has no one. She’s been too AA and recovered, and just recently she started drinking again.
My friend keeps telling me about problems with her mom and how she’s like “Oh I love you, you’re the best thing in my world.!” and then like a second later will be like “Oh! You BITCH!” she drives sometimes when she’s tipsy, and it freaks out emily! I feel really bad.
What can I tell her? I just told her to talk to her mom, but she said she can’t.

they are 12 and in the 7th grae but i dont think she should be allowed to sleep over at this friends house. do you agree or am i being a little to harsh?

also my dad is an alcoholic and my brother is a drug addict

I live in a different state than my Dad and Step-Mom. My Step-Mom had gastric bypass last year and started trying to reclaim her youth in the process my Dad moved out of the house unwillingly. My sister told me a few months ago that her Mom was now letting her get away with anything, like boys stay over night with her and my 13 year old Sister. My Step-Mom has also been letting my Sisters under age friends drink alcohol at the house under the agreement that my Sister does not drink at all, which of course she does any way because they are not being supervised well and when caught her Mom doesn’t do anything. A few months back my Dad was called by the cops to come pick my 14 year old Sister up because she had been at a party that got broken up and was drunk. I don’t know what to do, it bothers me and I am worried about my Sister. She has said herself she hates that her Mom is trying to be “cool” and is acting like a teenager herself since the gastric bypass and wishes she was more strict and more of a Mom. I can’t tell my Dad and betray my Sisters trust because then I will never know how they are doing. Plus I really don’t think my Dad could do anything anyway, He and my SM are still married even though she ran them into debt and forged his name and lied about finances and didn’t pay the mortgage because my Dad can’t afford a lawyer. I am so worried one of my Sisters will end up in a bad situation if my Step Mom doesn’t start acting like a parent soon. What would you do? What do you think I should do?
Can I comment on this with out doing the add additional details?

They live in CA, it is not legal to let your kids drink there I am almost 100% sure even if it is in your own house.
She is not my Mom thank goodness lol. I figured I could call CPS the problem is I am in a different state and I don’t have any proof. They may show up and that might be enough to make my Step Mom stop letting the kids do this stuff but it may make things worse. Its not like I know exactly when this is happening, I wish. If CPS was notified and they showed up and nothing out of the ordinary was going on then what?
VESPER~ Luckily I am close to sure my Sister, the 14 year old is not having sex, and I know my 13 year old Sis is not. They are very Christian and stick to that at least.They also get straight A’s and are in honor classes so I am not worried about that. I have talked to my Sister and told her just because her Mom is letting her get away with things she needs to be careful and not get herself into trouble because in the long run it will only hurt her. The problem is my Sister does take advantage of it because it is popular and she is one of those really popular girls in high school and that means a lot to her. She is blond, skinny and really pretty. The fact her Mon lets her do these things fits in to this image she wants to portray even though she wants her Mom to act like a parent.

My best friend is 18 and has a very laid back mother. I’ll refer to my best friend as S, and his mother as D. He has another friend who is only 15 years old and already is sexually active and tends to get drunk at parties. We’ll refer to her as M. Anyway, my friend, S, told me that his mom, D, allowed M to have a bottle of beer while she was over at their house. I was shocked that D would be so irresponsible with somebody else’s child. My friend, S, tried to argue that it was fine because it was in a controlled situation, and I argued back that his mom was basically enabling M to drink. There is a difference between being laid back and being irresponsible.

Am I the only one who finds a problem with this situation?
Ok, I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds a problem with it. I’m 17, and I’ve only had alcohol when my parents give me a small bit of champagne on New Year’s. My friend’s mom buys him hard liquor when he asks her to. He claims that she is so laid back because they come from a “broken home”, however, she hasn’t taken him to the doctor or the dentist in years, and she lets him get as obese as he wants.
Thank you C, I actually live in Massachusetts, so that was very helpful. I will point that out to him.

My other mom friends have gossipped about this other mom saying “I like her daughter, but her mom is an alcoholic, if you watch her daughter for a few hours, count on watching her for 12.” I have witnessed this myself. So the other mothers are distancing their children from the alcoholic’s daugher.

My grandmother was a chronic alcoholic for years. My mother is still quietly suffering emotionally from growing up with a mother who was neglectful. As a result, my mother doesn’t touch alcohol and has grown-up to be a productive member of society and she was a very caring if not overprotective mom.

I asked my mom if I should risk losing my gossipy “mom friends” to help this little girl…and let her play at my house with my daughter for the 12 hours just to help HER as the daughter of an alcoholic. My mother said as she got older she became aware of not being able to bring friends home and all she wanted was a best friend, a mother-type who showed she cared for her.What’d you do?

Her Mom texted me and asked me to call her, and I told her I would as soon as possible. I know her daughter has recently started using crystal meth. I love her and she is my friend and I only want the best for her. But I’m not sure if I should tell her Mother that she is using meth or not, and how I am supposed to tell her. I really believe that someone isn’t going to get sober unless they want to, and she doesn’t want to. So I don’t see how telling her parents is really going to help her. If they just send her to rehab, I know she isn’t going to stay sober. What should I do?

My daughter and her best friend were on the back of a 4wheeler with her best friend’s mother driving. She had been drinking, and crashed. My daughter was injured. Should I have notified the Police? By law the hospital had an obligation to, and did and she was arrested for DUI. In the state of washington, driving any vehicle with a motor when impaired, private property or not can result in a DUI. What will become of this friendship?

I need help with this – fast!!!

and she obviously does them too… My friend tries to talk to her about it, but she always flips out and says i can’t believe you think your own mother would do stuff like that and it always turns into a big loud arguement. He has never seen her do it, but some of her crack buddies that are always in and out of their house told him about her. Even before they told him about her, he still knew. She doesn’t work, she has people in and out of the house at all hours, she has crazy mood swings, and she just acts like a drug addict. There are some other things that make it abvious that she does it, but i’m not trying to go into detail. He really wants to get her help but he doesn’t know how. He came to me for advice, but i really don’t know what to do in a situation like that either!
He is considering going to the police, but i don’t think he wants to get her in trouble, he just wants to get her help, but she won’t even admit that she does the stuff (its crack by the way) so if she doesn’t cooperate with him trying to help, is going to the police his only option?

Everyone in his family knows about her. They can’t do anything about it. Like i said, she won’t even admit that she does it, or has a problem. If anyone mentions it she flips out and gets really pissed off.

Oh by the way, he is 19 so he is able to live on his own. But he is currently living with his mom, but trying to get out of there because he is just sick of all the stuff that goes on in the house.

So I met this pretty cool girl at my summer class and we hung out all day yesterday. Well, today she started talking to this guys while we were planting corn… and he does drugs. Well, I found out so does she, and it’s beyond weed. They were going on about ecstasy, crank, weed, shrooms, and a million different types of alcohol.

Apparently, she comes from a drug abuse house hold her father is an alcoholic and so is she. He also gave her her first pipe and sometimes steals her drugs from her bedroom. She is only 15 and she admitted to me about being a heavy drug user, a raver, and a bit alcoholic.

My mother is a drug use therapist at a rehab center… should I tell her? I’m not sure, this is the first time I’ve ever had a real encounter with drugs, except with my brother using meth, but, I wasn’t that involved with it. The teacher was right there so he already knows… I don’t know what he could do. I mean when it’s that deep into her family and her life, is there anything we can do? She seems like she could of been such… a good person.

my best friend and my boyfriend’s brother (20 and 23 respectively) are expecting their first child in six months. they have asked my boyfriend and i to be god parents. they fight all the time violently because of his excessive crack cocaine addiction. she keeps telling me that she is going to make him go to rehab, but the deadlines go by the wayside and she always gives it. i’ve tried to break it down to her and make her understand the seriousness of the situation, but nothing seems to work. is it of for me to tell her that i wont be the god mother if she doesn’t do what is best for her child? i am very flattered by the offer but i want what is best for her and the baby.

Now their addiction is from the illness and car accident, doctor put them on pill. Their addiction throws them into a world of hell. it’s not gonna be like any other drug addiction book,they are gonna go though this together but real bad things happen one will lose her children and one lose her freedon,one loses her life but they are saved by God,it is a christian book.But it is gonna be real,not sugar coated.Nothing about drugs is gonna be left out. All of the uglyness will be in it. Some Christians may protest this book.
Thanks that makes me feel better, it is a book, based on true facts and I really want to write it.

I heard about a movie today about a young girl who’s parents are drug addicts, and the mother dies. The father says they should burn her but the child suggests just wrapping her up and leaving her so noone else burns things. They move to the fathers hometown and the girl makes friends with a man/boy with mental problems. They become very close. I cannot remember for the life of me what the name of the film was, I believe it had the word “tide” in it.
I dont even want to see it frankly, it’s just annoying me because I cant remember the name of it!
I think it’s shown through the eyes of the child.
