Need advice step son is coming to live with my husband and i after being in rehab for heroin addiction….?

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

My husband and i have been married for about 6 years he has a 13 year old son from a previous relationship. Well his son is coming to live with us he just got out of Rehab for Heroin addiction and his mom wants nothing to do with him at all. Well hubby and i have three son’s of our own 2.4,6 and so as you can imagine i am concerned for there safty and well being but at the same time i also believe in Redemption so to speak everyone makes mistakes and i understand that so i am trying not to hold any preconceived notions about the kid but at the same time never had to really be a step parent to this kid and everything. I mean honestly i am more worried about him relapsing into it because he got into it to begin with because his gf was into it heavily and then she introduced him to it and then she died because of in OD so he got into it heavily trying to block out his pain and everything. Sorry for blabbing i just don’t know what to do with the kid hubby thinks there isn’t a threat and that he will be fine and that we just need to love on him but at the same time i don’t want him here =/. Advice?

Friday, May 6th, 2011

My daughter and her boyfriend are both heroin addicts. They have been in and out of jail, rehab and now prison for years. I have custody of their small child. My daugther lives in a halfway house and the boyfriend is back to living with his mom. I have spent a fortune in legal fees trying to keep custody of my grandchild. They of course want her back. Does anyone have any legal advice they can give me?

Is Drug Rehab the only cure for my mother’s severe heroin addiction?

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Me and my mom has been on a trailer park for 2 years now. Since my father left us for his “legal family” my mom got so devastated that she resorted to heroin. Every Monday she would go under the bridge which is about a few blocks away from our trailer to buy her stash from spoiled white-suburban kids. I feel so helpless because I don’t have the spine to stop my mom from destroying her life. My only option now is to place her under a rehab program in the hope of saving her from her addiction. Is this a wise decision? or must I try to talk some sense in her before placing her under a rehab program?

My boyfriend is smoking heroin and need help!!?

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

Hi I am seventeen years old and I’ve been dating this guy for four years now and been friends with him for about 5 years. Our relationship/bond is so unbreakable and has remained strong throughout these years. I know I’m still young but I know he is truly the love of my life. The truth is you would expect a girl my age to be in and out of love, having crushes but it hasn’t been like that at all for me. I could care less about guys but my boyfriend is a whole different issue. He is literally on my mind nonstop and he makes me feel like the most beautiful girl in the whole world and I have a low self esteem as it is but he changes that. I have always seen myself as being with him in the future. Yet the past year things have been getting crazy. He has started using heavier drugs, yes he would smoke marijuana but I honestly don’t see anything wrong with that but everyone has their own view on it but now I come to find out he is using cocaine and crack but only once in awhile (that’s what I heard but it’s not an everyday thing). Then it’s been lately cocaine blunts and now I come out he is smoking heroin. I suspected this well I basically knew this when it started but I chose not to think it was a huge problem. Yet, today when I was at his house he was talking to me and nodding in and out of consciousness and of course I knew he was high but then he pulls out foil right infront of me and starts smoking heroin. Let me tell you I was shocked! He was so high he didn’t even care. This seems like some twilight zone stuff but it was reality. It made me so sad to watch him do this because he was never like this. I can’t believe I even sat there and stayed with him as he did it. I don’t know what I was thinking it seemed like I was in a dream. Anyways he ended up hanging out with the wrong crowd again and yes he went to get sober and did but ended up back with the same people. I know you guys will tell me that he needs to get clean but he has yet if he doesn’t cut out people in his life it will never work. I really don’t know what I should do because I am graduating in June and I’m suppose to be moving in with him. I know you guys will tell me that I should leave him and I know that’s what I should do but it is so hard to cut out someone from your life that has meaned so much. Even my family loves him and it’s just hard. I really need some advice and help because I do not want to be that girlfriend who ends up staying with this guy to only be put through hell.

I am posting this one final last time just to see what others have to say. I think I also need to hear the truth again because I’m feeling like I’m going to be making a bad decision soon. I also need to state that I think he is using meth too and he has been in and out of jail these past months. His family tried to help him countless times but it never worked. They ended up kicking him out on his ass and the sad thing is his mother is a substance abuse counselor.

What is the movie where the father is a heroin addict?

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

I think it was a TV movie, so it was never in theaters. The dad was addicted to drugs, and the mom past away.. does anyone remember the name?
Okay, more details, the daughter is really smart and loves school. It has a happy ending with her graduating from law school, Harvard Law I believe!
Or you can name any move that is reltvely similar to it.. anything helps!

how can a heroin addict pass a hair follicle drug test?

Monday, October 11th, 2010

my boyfriend and i are involved in a very dirty custody case involving his 4 year old son. his mother is on all kinds of drugs and definitely couldn’t pass a hair follicle test. we filed an emergency hearing and the court ordered her to take a hair test. well she passed it. the thing is, the day the she got the paper she called us crying because she was going to fail for marijuana, opiates, and a couple other things and they were going to take her son away(which is what needs to be done until she gets better). there is a good chance she is working with the police(like snitching or whatever its called).

she is really an unfit mother and we don’t know how to prove it to the court. they continuously cut her breaks. the child’s father works 40 hours a week, pays his own bills, and is completely drug and alcohol free (which can be proved). his mother is on every type of government assistance available, has no job, and is on drugs.

We don’t know what else to do. We can have all the proof in the world and the court still sides with her.
ANY suggestions?
we have tried children services TWICE. they didnt even investigate. we have texts of her talking about being “dope sick” and even trying to sell us her prescriptions

Heroin junkie praying on “kids” how can I stop her?

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

There is this girl…we will call her Dope. Dope likes to shoot heroine, and is wealthy from family money. Dope likes to buy excessive amounts of drugs and do them because shes a miserable human being and likes to take people down with her. Actually, she is only satisfied with her own drug use when she is specifically messing other people up. Namely my 17 year old cousin, who has had other drug problems….she lived with me for a 9 month stretch of time when she was pregnant where I successfully got her off the drugs and then Dope comes storming in our lives seducing my very nieve and impressionable cousin back to bigger and badder drugs than she ever used before.

Now my cousin is a new mother AND heroine addict.
Dope also somehow managed to drag my friend along on her drug binges.
And most recently convinced a very pathetic 18 year old boy to sign himself out of rehab last night (after she is the reason his parents forced him in there in the first place) She picked him up from the hospital, his parents are freaking out and had no idea where he was, and as I am standing there talking to his parents (ironically my cousin standing next to me) Dope calls them on the phone stating “I have your son, hes safe, Im going to take care of him tonight and bring him back to rehab tomorrow…No he doesn’t want me to tell you where he is…no, of coarse I don’t have any drugs and I wouldn’t him that stufff” and then as soon as she hung up, texted my cousin saying “We just picked up some good sh*t do you want me to pick you up.”

Then the boys mother looks at us and asks if we think Dope is telling her the truth about taking care of her son and even my cousin who uses herself and tries to hide any affiliation with Dope says “No, don’t trust her, shes going to shoot him up.” (because these young kids don’t know how to shoot up themselves she actually administers the drugs into their systems and doesn’t show them how to do it so they need to find her when they want some)

I don’t know what to do to stop her.
The police keep arresting her and she gets out on bail and does it all over again finding more and more victims who are mark as kids because of their ages.
I don’t know what do to with this situation, every impressionable person and usually kids who have undergone extreme psycological trama in their lives become victim to her telling them that they will never feel anything bad on heroine.
Please help!

i’m thinking about doing coke or heroin….?

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

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.

My dad always makes jokes about heroin and how he’s gonna start doing it?

Friday, October 1st, 2010

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.

How do i know if my son’s reoccurring bloody nose is not from babysitter being on heroin or any other drugs?

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

My son has been having reoccuring bleeding from the nose at night and sometimes in the day. Me and my wife have rarely bleed from nose so i know it can’t be passed down. But in the other hand our “babysitter” has been having the same, bloody noses and i have found lots of q-tips in the bathroom trash can full of her blood. One time i caught her with q-tip up her nose and said “my nose was bleeding , and i don’t know why”. This raised red flag in my head but what is also bodering me is that almost everytime we make contact with her she always has the “sniffles” like whipping her runny nose on her hand and if she really sniffs drugs this will make contact with my son. This is why i think that my son has a reoccuring bloody nose. In fact i know for sure she is a heroin user back in her old days, but once a user always a user. there is much more i want to say but please can anyone help me? im thinking of drug test, but how can you when the babysitter is mother-in-law? i know you are saying “this is your son you are talking about” but what if i’am wrong i would feel bad. But what if i’m right? I’ll send her to jail or rehab program. and never let her touch my baby again untill i know she is fully CLEAN! I NEED ANSWERS!

What was the movie where a doll girl lived with her dead dad who OD’d on heroin? Autistic neigbor/farm setting?

Sunday, September 19th, 2010

I think the girl had a fascination with dolls and this movie took place in a farm like setting (I think the cover of the movie had a picture of the house with sunflowers in the front part of the farm). Her parents where heavy drinkers and used heroin. I remember her mom died in bed and the daughter and her dad lit the bed on fire and both of them didn’t seem very affected by it. The daughter would roam around the house all day while her father would sit in a chair in the middle of the living room and shoot heroin. After shooting he is incapacitated and unresponsive for hours on end. He would tell the daughter before each heroin injection that he was “going on vacation”. The daughter would walk around the house/farm with some doll. She makes friends with a kid neighbor (male) who wheres a space helmet (I could be wrong about that) has no friends and is retarded in some way. He lives with his crazy mother who screams for him to get his attention. The daughter hangs out with this kid pretty often and one day he causes a bus full of people to flip subsequently killing them all (I think a big airplane may have been involved). One day the father tells the daughter that he’s “going on vacation” and ends up overdosing and dying in the same position he always is when he’s passed out. The daughter comes back to the house one night and can’t get her dad to wake up. You know that she knows he’s dead but she plays it off like he’s “vacationing”. She keeps him around, talks with him and feeds him (or at least tries) until he gets so bloated with decomposition fumes that he starts “farting” as the daughter would call it. Because “he would not stop farting” she dragged him outside with the help of the retarded kid neighbor. She ends up stripping her father’s skin off and stuffing the skin with cotton like a doll. She keeps him propped up at a dining room table and throws tea parties with the retarded kid who ends up marrying the daughter girl. They just live with the dead, stuffed father and some dolls.

A girl I know is pregnant but hasn’t stopped using heroin. Do you think abortion is right in her case?

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Both her and her boyfriend are addicted to heroin and painkillers. She found out she was pregnant a month ago, but hasn’t stopped doing dope. I’m just wondering what everyone thinks, when the mother cant stop her deadly vices for an unborn child, do you think abortion would be better for the situation, or should she carry it to term even though she will probably abuse heroin throughout her pregnancy?
Brian: I find it ironic that you use one of the most liberal cartoon characters ever (on family guy, Brian is openly an atheist who rips on conservatives and Christianity all the time and is for gay marriage, legalizing weed, etc.) to preach your conservative agenda…
This isn’t about forcing abortions, this is asking if you think its more morally right for the girl to have an abortion in this case.
