We will help you get your mom off drugs!

I mean like things that happened to me 5ish years ago are now popping up and I’m feeling depressed and confused about them.

My step father was an alcoholic and a gambling addict and when my mother finally kicked him out of the house, he left our family very vunrable.

I wasn’t really upset by this at the time, but now I am. I can’t believe he hurt us like this.

Why am I not feeling the sadness at the time? But years later?

She drives me batty. If you knew her you’d understand. I need something to calm my nervous twitches.
Xanax might knock me completely out, which could be a good thing-I’ll never even know she was here.
but if drink, I can laugh the entire time she criticizes my housekeeping, my child rearing, my religion, my clothes, my choice of friends, or how my cat makes her sneeze.

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.

i was born in September 1994. my mother was a HUGE drug addict. i have 2 sisters and a brother. my mom always favored girls so when she found out she was pregnant with a boy she didn’t care and kept doing drugs. with me she smoked cigarettes, cocaine/crack, meth, drinking alcohol, and she takes lots of painkillers such as morphine and Oxycontin. when i was born i was a really bad speech problems, i couldn’t say my R’s CH’s or L’s. i used to have night terrors waking up in the middle of the night crying and in the morning i didn’t even remember it. my speech problems lasted till around 4th grade and i had night terrors till 5th. i was always a slow learner in my class and always have had a lack of self confidence. Also having a lack of emotion and careless from 6th grade to currently 9th. will i have health issues later in life, or will my current problems continue?

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.
