We will help you get your mom off drugs!

Im a very depressed addict who recently just completed an 18-month drug program and regained custody of my 2yr old from cps. Although I surrounded myself with non-users I found the urge to just use one more time.I did and loved it! I started off by smoking it everyday for a month until I decided i wanted to inject it again. So here i am finding myself injecting myself a couple times a day! Is there any hope for me? how come i haven’t learned my lesson the first time? is there any solutions i could detox and avoid getting my kids taken from me? also im very scared to detox due to the fact i fall into a deep depression everytime and give up! Any advise from anyone????? HELP PLEASE!!!

My father had a lung transplant in May 08 and things have not gone well. Now they will have to move him from the hospital to a nursing home for rehab. My mom is looking for advice in ways to protect her retirement savings by being sucked up by a nursing home. They have worked very hard for their money and don’t want to loose it all if possible.

If my grandparents drop me off at my friends house and if i decide not to comeback.can they make me come back they don’t have custody of me.but they may or may not have temporary custody. they just have a notarized letter saying they can take me to the doctor. my mom left on a drug binge i just want to go to school somewhere else and graduate there. im 16 and im in North Carolina. They said they cant give me permission to leave cause of custody but can they make me come back ?

Is it alright if they are letting their children drink at home as long as they can watch over them? I’m not sure I agree with this. My mother let me do this at the age of 13 and on. At the time I thought it was cool of course. She’d let me and my friends get drunk under her care. Looking back now I feel it was more her trying to be a friend instead of a parent.

I am 13, My mom is an alcholic she always leaves and doesn’t come back until around 1 or 2. I have to go to school so i set my own alarm, take a shower, and get ready all by myself. I am pretty much an independent person, the only thing i think i need from her is the car to get where i need to be. How Do i tell that i don’t want this on my shoulders and i want her to help me through my teenage years? i want her to stop being an alcoholic!!

To the one that posted about medicare paying up to 120 days.She was covered for 1 month. while she was in rehab.She isnt in rehab anymore.
She is living there almost 3 years.The social worker told me today that they check back up to 3 years to see how much money a person has.We changed everything she had in the bank 2 years ago.The social worker doesnt think my mom quilfiy’s yet.
its costing a fortune.I dont know what to do.The house is in both of our names.If i were to put it im my name totally my house taxes would go up.My mom gets a senior tax break.But if they were to take care of her nursing bill i wouldnt care if my house tax would go up.Its a difficut situation

my mom is living in alabama at the moment and i live in texas. my sister has pretty much disowned her. she is a drug attict, she wants everyone to take care of her, and she is very manipulative, she is 56 yrs old. she makes up illnesses and gets doctors to prescribe her LARGE amounts of pills, and she smokes weed, right now she is on speed/meth too. i want to put her in a home, wether that be mental, old folks, or rehab i dont know. i think it would be good for everyone especially my mom. if i could do this they might be able to find out what is REALLY wrong with her, and get someone to rashon her the right medications, she would be taken care of, i would visit often, and it would benifit all of our mental health. she is incompitent to take care of herself. anyways how would i go about doing something like this? is it possible?how much would this cost? ect…? plz help! no rude answers.
alright i got the name and number of her doctor. what questions do i need to ask him??

every once in awhile i go out with my friends and we drink a lot. so if i had a couple shots and beers how would i be able to pass a alcohol saliva test? im 21 but my mom still cares about that even though im safe when i do it.

Im hoping for some help and knowledge heres some info :
My mom broke her leg last saturday and went ot the hospital itll take about 6 weeks for it to heal and today they discharged her to a nursing home stating that theres rehab there which is where she needs to go for her leg.
Shes not ill nor sick in any way except for a broken/fractured leg. Theres another facility thats supposed to be fantastic that the insurance is also contracted with but theyre full and have a 2 week waiting list.
This nursing home is an absolute shithole. No phones in the room , one bathroom for 6 people, barely any tvs, old non-hospital beds, etc. It’s a convalescent home it even says so in the name. I cant stand being there and my I dont know how my mom is still remaining sane.
Tomorrow Im calling the insurance to ask them what they can do to get her to a better place to rehab. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks so much.

Shes 56, has insurance with Medical.
I’m 19 years old and still live with my mother at home and Id do anything for her but its a broken leg shes not senile nor old nor suffered anything but a broken leg/knee and a nursing home is no place to be for that at all. This has nothing to do with me putting her in a home. Thats the worst possible thing anyone could do to any parent in the first place. She needs to be in a hospital environment while getting rehab for a month or so and Im not sure how to do that unless shes actually IN a hospital.

This last time, I decided to explore hospice so she wouldn’t be shuffled to different places. I asked the hospice rep if her antibiotics would be continued as well as food and drink and if family would continue making med decisions, because my goal was for her to hopefully recover from pneumonia, hope for best…knowing she might not recover. I WAS ASSURED BY HOSPICE SOCIAL WORKER THAT HER ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT WOULD CONTINUE–WHICH WAS A BIG FACTOR IN MY DECISION(I HAVE POA)TO MOVE HER TO HOSPICE–I WAS TOLD SOME PEOPLE DO RECOVER. Within 7 hours of her moving, she was no longer on IV treatment(had I known this would be discontinued, I would not have agreed to hospice), we had to beg for food and she went downhill quickly. Today, I p[ulled her fromhospice and took her to emerg room because hospice decision did not feel right. Hospital says comfort care is “pull all meds- and let nature take its course”. I was not told all meds would be pulled. aM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. ANY ADVICE?

It’s been 7days today! Tomorrow going to remove the breathing tube and put it in her throat and put in feeding tube, move her to ventilator floor and move her to nursing home friday! Im concerned about if she has another stroke how will they know???? Not going to order rehab and i think she a least deserves a chance for rehab, she is responding to me on command.. HELP

My friend is 17. Her mother is abusive and an addict. My friend is responsible, has a job, and has actually taken care of her abusive mother for too long. She finally had to leave on her 17th birthday when her mother beat her in her broken arm and then fed a sob story to the police. But people tell her different stories so we are unsure if the legal adult age in Georgia is 17 or 18.

My step father is an alcoholic and he has never been a nice guy to me and my siblings. I am 28, my sibs are 26 and 20. My mother stays at home, and babysits my kids (2 and 10) when they’re not in school. During one day, my step father took my 2 year old daughter to their farm and proceeded to drink beer and whiskey until he was drunk. My mother came to the farm to check on them and found him drunk and cursing with my daughter. He has had many violent episodes during his drinking binges in the past so this scared me. I have kept my kids from him and their farm ever since. I allow my mom to visit my kids at my house, but my step father is not allowed around me or my kids. I have forgiven my step father, but have chosen to keep him out of our lives. Is that fair to my mom?

I am unfairly caught in the middle. My EX- boyfriend is a 31 yr old drug addict. He has gone off on a binge for weeks. The last time I went to his apartment to check on him he angrily gave me his puppy, saying he can’t care for him right now. Worried about the pups safety. I immediately contact bf’s mother about what to do. She expressed to me verbablly that while she loves the dog she can’t care for him. I couldn’t care for the pup permanently because I live with a roomate who is afraid of dogs. Bf’s mother gave me instructions to find him a good home. I checked and doubled checked with his mother to confirm if she felt comfortable with me finding the puppy an new home. I have emails and txts where she again tells me she thinks that finding the pup a home would be best…So I did find the pup a great home. Its been 4 days and the daughter has already become attached to the pup, they called me to update me on how the pup is doing and thank me for bringing the dog into their lives.
Now my bf’s mother is harassing me to get dog back from new owner, saying she made a mistake, wants to keep the dog in the family.. She put me in an awful position but I contacted the new owner, explained my ex’s mothers remorse. The new owner says she feels horrible but wants to keep the dog because her daughter is already attached. Does the new owner have to give back the dog?
Mother is threatening to call the cops on me, find the new owner etc. etc. Mother has PHOTOCOPIES of paperwork for dog ie. vet bills, health records but I gave the new owner the ORIGINALS of this paperwork..does the new owner have rights to keep dog? I feel terrible for both sides but the mother made a major decision and its not fair to hold me accountable or harass me if the new owner wants to keep the dog…

plz answer this and plz understand where im coming from.
i live in north carolina and im 16.
i live with my grandparents but they dont have legal custody of me.
my mother just moved back in a few months ago.
i cant stand being here i mean i am SO thankful they have welcomed me into thier home but i cant be here anymore.
im tired of watching my mom smoke crack and have me buy it for her and drive her dealers around and lie to my grandparents
but if i told them id get in even more trouble.

ok my question is if i leave and go to one of my friends house at 16 years old can they make me come back?

I need someone that needs a home, to live with us, and help take care of my mom. They will have a warm home, food to eat, etc. , and will be paid a small salary a month. Very small, but if you figure what rent , groceries, lights, water and phone would cost, it comes out pretty good. I would like an older lady, drug and alcohol free, trust worthy, gentle and loving to older people. Must like pets. We have two lovable dogs (outside), and some chickens, probably about 18 or 20. We are in our 60′s, but still young enough to have some life left in us.

…the girl sat at the kitchen table and watched me perform fancy tricks with my mum’s best glassware, but my mum walked in which startled me and caused me to loose concentration as I was juggling her fancy dishes? The dishes all broke as you may have guessed!

Or should I even apologize because it’s my mum’s fault that the dishes fell because she startled me?

(And, no, I do not live with my parents; I just visit them, and I recently arrived back from a holiday to visit them.)

Thank you!
Cherry_Blossom: For the past few summers, I have spent my holidays in the southwestern Russian Federation to visit my parents because they still live there, and that’s where I spent the first 22 years of my life. I guess I was just too excited to be back home!

like leaving a glass in the sink,or a bar of soap in the tub,she yells and screams like i just killed someone. I left a glass in the sink and she told me I had a fat ass (which I don’t) and to get out and I was homeless,etc. I pay all the utilites at our place. She has not talked nicely to me in five days,and yesterday I told her she is behaving wrong and she tells me she thinks I am on drugs, or was drinking after work. Neither. She started a fight with a neighbor because they left a towel by accident on her car. How do you hadle this behavior especially when you are trying so hard to make a nice life for your Mom and yourself. I buy all new furniture for her, flat screen tv’s and am now doing her bedroom over for her,and this is how she behaves. What is wrong with someone who does nothing wrong but to better their life style and this is what I get. How do you handle the yelling and name calling.

I have a friend whose mom is a drug addict and doesnt feed her. Her moms reasent ex boyfriend saw this and is gonna move her to a new school and home. she is such a cool friend . i dont want her to move away at all! what should i do?
