So a few years ago i had experienced a life changing event. A group of guys tried to mug me in a bad area and ended up beating crap out of me with a baseball bat. I had got a head fracture and the doctor perscribed me pain killers. So while taking these pain killers ( percocets and vicoden) i became addicted and my mother insisted i go to detox for it, So i got clean and im fine, im in great shape and very active person. So my question is that fact i went to detox to get off these pain killers,can this stop me from joining the army? Its been my dream for many years and id be devistated if it holds me back from persueing my dream. Please help me and give me any advice that can help, can i call the detox center and ask anything of them? what should i do. It was a difficult time in my life and i hadent said anything about it to my recruiter. In my eyes i never was a drug addict and it was just a screwed up situation that was very hard for me to handle.plz help, thanks

My father and my mother been married for 39 years. Me and my mother have been there through all his recuperation of an accident and his mental problems and alcoholism. Everything was fine till he received a large cash settlement. He does not want to have anything to do with me and my mother and wants to divorce my mother and give her nothing. My mother does not drive or ever worked. She has always been a house wife and has absolutely no money even to pay rent and for food and no savings. I am so depressed and don’t know what to do… Please Help

By the way, we all are living together in Texas.
Thank you all for your responses.. I am so scared… My dad opened a bank account only in his name. My dad said that he consulted with a divorce attorney and he said because it was a personal injury he does not have to give her anything of that money is that true?

term memory loss now. From then i lived with my grandma and uncle. In 8th grade she died, (i found here laying in the bathroom, she had thrown up blood or something and then fell, all i k now is that the whole bathroom was red) that was pretty traumatic, i then stayed living with my uncle. I saw my mom every week, shes at rehab for her head injury. Recently she broke her leg and somethng is wrong with her head. Shes at a nursing home and barely makes any sense. My aunt is an alcoholic but is for the most part alright, i talk to her everyday. When she drinks its just hard too:-/. My uncle takes care of me now. Hes great but expects so much out of me. I take care of all the chores & just deal with so mcuh. I have a boyfriend but at times can be sometimes verbally abusive and jelous. I dont kno this all is so overwhelming at times. Somtimes im happy but othere times i just.. get so sad. Its hard to sleep at night sometimes. Is this anxiety? Answers please:-/. Not sure what to do.
