We will help you get your mom off drugs!

I just want to know what other moms think, my daughter is almost 1 now and i just thought i get some other moms opinion on eating habits.

When I was growing up my mother restricted all junk food up until I was in school. I just remember not being able to have any sort of sweets like juice, cookies, candies you name it. I knew all kids were having it but I wasnt allowed to. At one point when she gave me juice she would mix so much water in there that you can barely even taste sugar. From young I became food obsessed. When I entered junior high, I went nuts. I ate everything and anything. My mom had no control over it what so ever because i was at school or playing with friends after school. In high school I experienced major eating disorder. I was binge eater. Since that point on i battled with my weight issue. I dont want to blame my mother for doing what she thought it was best for me. But i feel that she went some what overboard.

I promised myself that my daughter wont have to stand where I did growing up. No matter how much i want to try to give her what I didnt have young i just cant. I must say that I have became a health freak my own mother. As much as I dont want to I just cant control myself from being so stricted.

What really is the right boundary??

I am working class and couldn’t afford mental health services for counseling on my own. I called county social services but unless I was a police code 5150, there didn’t seem to be any social services counseling. Instead the primary chunk of social services seemed geared only towards mothers with children, children themselves, the chronically homeless, addicts, or the elderly.

Is it a mistake for childless adult males, who aren’t suicidal but need mental health counseling, to seek county services?

She says that it doesn’t help, but she takes it faithfully everday. I believe she is addicted.

“The 18-year-old who was allegedly high on Oxycontin and Xanax when she drove a passenger van into a Hempstead, Long Island home, fatally striking the home’s owner, was hysterical when taken out of the police station yesterday. Kayla Gerdes screamed to reporters, “No, I didn’t [purposely aim for her.] Listen, stop — listen, it was an accident!

Gerdes’s lawyer said that the teen was released early from a 28-day drug rehabilitation program, because her mother’s insurance would only cover seven days.”

Obviously, if this girl were still in rehab, this death would not have happened. Thoughts?

my kids mother is now a full blown meth addict or ice head, she uses daily and has already caught gonorrhea. at her age of 38, how long can we expect her to live before her body starts failing?

Television and sex are probably the hardest things that I’m addicted to that I would have trouble giving up for anything. But I think I would give up sex if I saw my parents getting busy with my father talking dirty to my mother. I think that would do it for me.

my mother smoked while she was pregnant with me. I have lupus, bipolar, alcoholism, ibs, several food allergies, extremely sensitive skin and i’m basically a trainwreck of a person. My mother did not smoke with my sister. She has a perfect immune system, no sign of mental illness, she digests food just fine, has no food allergies, perfect skin, and is doing well in life.
I understand that some things just happen, but is there a possibility? and what if she drank during her pregnancy? just curious. she didn’t i’m almost positive she didn’t, but in case.

That runs in your family? If so, how do you deal with them or how does your family try to prevent these problems from killing them?

Me: Eating Disorders like Bulimia or Binge. I had two aunts including my grandmother who had binge eating disorder. My mom, my older sister, myself and some of our cousins have struggled with bulimia. We’ve gotten help for it, it’s not that easy to control.

Vogue, yes I have lost weight. I am 5’5. I was 130pds 2 years ago. I am still 5’5 115pds. At one point inbetween I was 103pds.
That’s deep Commie

I have temporary custody, dad is deceased mom in treatment facility for 10 months. I have been denied by healthy kids and was told they do not qualify for medicaid. These children need therapy to deal with these issues. Please advise. thank you!

My mother, age 64, fell and hit her head in August 2006. She had a subdural hematoma and swelling requiring surgical intervention. At the time, she was also suffering from pneumonia plus COPD, alcoholism and taking blood thinners. After her surgery, we were told she would never wake up and die from infection. She woke up and began a month later giving 1 word responses and short phrases. She began physical therapy and speech therapy, but never regained use of her limbs (has catheter & feeding tube). A month ago she contracted a bacterial lung infection and was hospitalized. The lung infection improved after 2 weeks, but she quit being verbal. The doctor had an MRI and CT scan done, but they showed no changes. She was returned to the nursing home on last Thursday and began verbally responding but the next day she appeared weak. The nursing home called very early the past 2 a.m. and asked family to come because her breath was labored but she then improved. Any ideas on this?

My mother is an alcoholic and has been for as long as I’ve been alive, probably much longer. It has only been getting worse. I am now 20. She has lost her job, been on unemployment for almost a year and is about to run out of benefits.
She got evicted from her home, moved in with her ex boyfriend who was (and still is) very abusive and also unemployed. They are now getting evicted from their trailer.
She has nowhere to go but cross country with her parents. She drinks anywhere from 15-30 beers a day, whole bottles of wine from time to time, and is becoming dependent on sleeping pills.
She refuses help and refuses to see a doctor, even though she will sometimes vomit blood. She now wakes up in the morning with the shakes, and is starting to see that drinking is a problem, but will refuse any help.
I need some sort of resources. I live in the Dallas, Tx area. I have nobody to talk to about this and don’t know what there is to do. No insurance, no money. She will not go on her own, an intervention may be necessary. If there is any way for me to sign her in, I will do it. She NEEDS help, and I need help dealing with this. I can’t keep watching my mother die, it is putting too much pressure on me. It is tearing me apart.
She is a wonderful, beautiful, caring person and I would not be where I am if it was not for her. There is nobody else she talks to or relies on but me. I am her only friend.
Please tell me what I can do.

She has compressed fractures in her spine and is in pain. The place she is in doesn’t even have a tv for her! She is just supposed to lie there?!
Anyone else have a similar problem?

My mom works to support her alcoholic habit. She will not pay utilities or rent. She never stayes in a house more than 5 months because she almost immediately stops paying the rent. She lives with people in the neighborhood often until she is made to leave. Her health is poor. She often makes up stories in order to get the attention. She is currently living in a rooming house. Her grands love to see her but I can’t have my children in that type of environment. I have 4 siblings who don’t seem to care. I just want my mom to have a clean apartment and food to eat with all of her utilities on. With her last apartment her boss was paying her rent and giving her the difference out of her check, but I don’t know what happened. I can’t afford to take care of her but with her working she can afford a one bedroom apt. on her own.

You need to notice things about you or the family member you’re trying to help. For instance, you need to know their normal habits and traits, so you know when they have deviated from them. Someone who needs the homeopathic remedy Arnica is often averse to the approach of others. It’s logical when you look at it. As Arnica is the king of injury remedies, those needing it have been hurt. If they’ve been hurt once, the approach of someone may raise fears that you may further hurt them.

Drinking warm milk, honey and warm water will help keep the trachea open by coating the wall of it. Teas containing chamomile, green tea are also good ways to prevent snoring. Drinking a cup of milk with a bit of turmeric powder can also be quite effective.

Home prescribing with homeopathy must be one of the most self empowering and satisfying things to do in life. Although highly beneficial, not all alternative health modalities can offer this. Imagine being in the back-of-beyond, miles from anywhere, and you get bitten by a bee. If you have your homeopathic first aid kit to hand, the likelihood of it becoming a problem is small.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night with a raging temperature. If you are able to read the kit instructions, or someone else can for you, it’s likely that you’ll find a remedy that will bring the fever down in double quick time.

Most of the breast enlargement devices on the market however, are simply modified breast pumps. They’re designed to “suck” on the breast, which can in turn make the breast’s cell tissue to replicate and expand.

This process works, but it’s not overly appealing to many women because it’s very easy to injure yourself when trying to use one of these pumps. So the next option is usually to look for herbal and natural ways to increase or enhance your breasts. And there are actually many things that can help quite a bit. Most of the herbs used for natural breast enhancement work well because they help to balance and regulate the hormones in a woman’s body.
Fenugreek for instance, is more commonly known as an herb for the lungs and lymphatic systems. It is also an excellent hormone regulator for women though, and is often used in herbal breast enlargement combinations.

Fennel is a very nutritious herb normally used for cooking. This herb is excellent for a variety of things including colic, stomach aches, toxin removal, and weight loss. It also however, helps increase milk production in nursing mothers, and it’s rich in flavonoids which help boost estrogen secretion. This boost can help new breast cells and tissue form.

Blessed Thistle is an herb which is primarily used for enriching and increasing the milk in nursing mothers. This herb is also wonderful for balancing female hormonal problems though, and it has powerful estrogenic properties which can help with naturally enlarging the breasts.
