We will help you get your mom off drugs!

My husband filed for divorce in 3/2007. He is asking for sole custody of our 3 children with visitation for me being 2 days/week and 2 overnights/month. I am asking for joint legal, primary residential with generous visitation for him. He has made numerous allegations about me regarding alcoholism, drug abuse, child abuse and neglect. He has involved the police and DYFS multiple times. ALL investigations determined the allegations were unsubstantiated. I am currently $268,000 in debt due to legal fees. My husband is motivated purely by anger and revenge and he has a tremendous financial edge as his elderly parents are paying for his legal fees. When my children are with me (50/50 presently) , I care for them myself. When they are with him, they are pawned off to random babysitters because his job requires long hours and travel. My 14 year old son has already spoken to the Judge and has requested to live with me as he has for the past 9 months. Has anyone been through a similar experience and what was the outcome? Thank you

a couple months back my mom started dating this guy
and he has a drinking problem. big time. he drinks morning to night
his hands are swollen from it, and hes been in and out of rehab
but no success. hes like 20 years older than my mom…

im 18 and my little sister is 13. and we live with our 84 year old grandma and mom
but when shes gone to her boyfriends, my sister and gma are my responsibility.
thats not an issue. but how can i root this drunk out of our lives?
seriously. he causes unnecessary strain on all of us.
Ive tried explaining it to her, and shes broken up with him, but hes always sick
(due to the alcoholism) and always pitys her back to him
i cant talk to him, hes selfish. and always drunk. he says ”im sorry i love her”
whenever i tell him that we need her around.
i dont know what to do…?

my mom has several mental problmes which are up for dibs as to diagnosis. she has been diagnosed bi polar depressed drug addict etc.. in the past but i dont think theyve hit the nail on the head. one thing she IS is insanely jealous/ crazy about her ex husband. she gets in these moods where if he does not answer his phone she blows up and goes completley nuts calls up her adult children ( me included) and starts complaining and screaming that she just ‘ Knows” he is out screwing whores behind her back. i treid to tell her there could be any reason he didnt asnwer and not to jump to conclusions shes being paranoid and she blew up at me. how do i deal with her when shes liek this without me having to get abused too? ( like todya she screamed at me , and none of her kids like to tlak to her when she is in one of these moods )
i meant her husband ( not ex ) i dont know why i interjected that ex there

and why? Do they realize 18-20 year olds are officially adults under the law? Should that bracket of adults be treated like like criminals and not citizens? Have they ever thought about that? If anyone drives drunk or commits crimes from alcohol, its always bad whether your 18, 21, 55, or 100. Shouldnt it be made illegal for them too since lots of them also to the same thing? Maybe the fatalities of drunk driving will go down.
Do you think its fair for a few idiots to ruin it for everyone including the responsible ones?

We found out we were losing our house a few months ago, and it’s torn my mom apart – stressed her to no end. She’s finally broken down and decided to leave my father, who’s a drunk alcoholic, drug addict, and pot head. She’s not taking us or my other sister (I have another, but she’s getting married, she’s going off with her man) with her. She doesn’t have the money. Why in HELL she thinks this life is better for us doesn’t get into my head. I’m sobbing, my dad is abusive, he steals the drugs I take for acute migraines I’ve gotten since a baby, he drinks every night with those meds and now he’s smoking pot on top of it all. And she’s LEAVING us with him. What do I do? I have no other family to turn to, none whatosoever. I’m 15 and still have a while to go until I’m legal and can live on my own. I’m scared, I can’t live with him alone. Help me.
I should’ve mentioned I’m homeschooled, it’s extremely hard for me to find adults to talk to about this stuff. My mother also currently has no job, it’s why she’s lived with my dad through-out these years, only for his finical support. She was planning to get one when/if we kept the house, so it’s no surprise she’s leaving and getting one on her own. Talking to a school counselor to find soical service is out of the question though

Or on your grandma’s bed.

My cat gave birth a few hours ago. There is only one kitten. I’m not surprised because the mother is young, but what I am wondering is why the kitten won’t drink from it’s mother. I’ve tried redirecting the newborn to multiple nipples but he is still uninterested and will not feed. Is this normal? It’s really worrying me.

We can’t have a baby and it is devastating. 5 people where I work are pregnant and it is like a slap in my face when other coworkers bring in their newborn babies. Which happens 2 to 3 times a week because I work for a rather large company and they are family oriented.

On top of that, most of my friends on FB can’t stop showing off their baby photos and it makes me get angry and want to cry at the same time.

It is also a rough time because my mom and I are not speaking. She was abusive to me physically, mentally, and emotionally…I thought this was normal before my husband (then bf) helped me see that I did not deserve to be treated that way. I talked with my mom still, even made her bridesmaid at my wedding (she asked and I couldn’t say no) but I drew the line when he insulted my husbands race (he is mexican) and threatened to leave the reception if they didn’t get a whole table for their family…so my husbands parents moved just so my parents could have their own table and it broke my husbands heart.

This among other things lead me to stop talking to my mom…

How do I deal with this rough mothers day?? I’m laying in bed depressed out of my mind wondering if I should start binge eating again (I stress eat when I am upset which is how I gained 20 lbs)
We can’t have baby bc we are not in the right financial position. We live in a crummy apt complex and I got laid off from a high paying job. My new job does not pay as much and health inurance is thru the roof so I had to sette for HSA
Its financial not physical

We can’t have a baby and it is devastating. We are not in a financial position to have one, which is why. We live in a crummy apt complex and I got laid off from a high paying job and my new job doesn’t pay nearly as well, and I’m getting an HSA bc their regular insurance is extremely expensive.

I think they’ve become far more neoprohibitionist over the years.’”

MADD has become “overzealous”

she also said ‘I thought the emphasis on .08 laws was not where the emphasis should have been placed’

What kind of a person do you think she is?
Brian the brain, you’re saying nobody has the right to criticize MADD? Not even their FOUNDER? Thatt’s who she is

about the # of national or regional MADD officers/directors who’ve been arrested for drunk driving vs. the # of national or regional MADD officers/directors who’ve lost a loved one or been injured as a result of drunk driving? If you have such information, please direct me to the appropriate source. Thanks.

Because today is Mothers Day, I wanted to cook all 3 meals today for my mom. But I was wondering WHAT should I cook for my mom? My mom does not let me use the stove but my brother can cook simple meals on the stove like canned soup or Macaroni & Cheese. So, what should I cook for breakfast, lunch, & dinner AND an appetizer, snack, side dish, & drinks. Thanks!

My mother’s 49th birthday is tomorrow and my grandmother (mom’s mom) suggested we throw her a surprise party Saturday to celebrate since she’s never had a real birthday party before. We’ve taken her out to eat and things like that for her birthday, but she’s never had the cake and the streamers and the whole nine.
Here’s the deal: my mother and my cousin (her neice) will be going to Texas tonight to see one of my cousins (again, her neice) graduate tomorrow. They’ll be getting back in to Georgia Saturday night. My grandmother suggested we throw the party at my cousin’s house (the one going with my mother to Texas, of course) Saturday night, surprising my unsuspecting mother when they get back.
I think it’s a great plan, but I’ve never thrown a simple party before, much less a surprise party!
Her favorite colors are yellow and purple so I was thinking about getting the streamers and the cake in those colors and serving margaritas as that’s her favorite drink.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

taz–please answer what I asked.
vegan4life–Maggie is very intelligent and has taught me many things. You would be smart to use her as a vegan role model.
kimberly—that’s funny…LOL…maybe animals get rawhide nipples after a while??

Have any nursing or previously nursing mother’s had any good results from taking Fenugreek or drinking Mother’s Milk Tea to increase their milk supply? If so how much of a difference did you see (ounces).

This is very important to me.

I am the only son and I’m gay. My parents love me for what I am but I think it is just weird that they wanted to go to the gay club where I always go to. I think I will feel awkward when they’re around and even though they have no problem with gays its still hard for me to be myself. I also do a lot of crazy stuffs when I’m drunk and I dance like crazy and I don’t want them to see that. What should I tell them?

My parent’s are in the works of a divorce. My mother has dated approx. two men within the 10 months. This last one she has been dating for about 4 months. I really cannot stand him, and normally I give people a chance.
But, I am away at university and when I came home for break I was downstairs with my boyfriend, my younger sister had her boyfriend over and they were watching a movie. While my two other younger sisters were playing in their room and had their friends over. I was up and I heard my my mum and the dude having sex, and I found it absolutely appalling. I mean it was embarrassing to have our boyfriends and younger sisters having to listen to this. Especially since this was the first time I met him! All night he seemed to just work on getting my mother drunk to have sex.
I went to the top of the stairs and told them to knock it the f*** off for the second time. I told them it was disgusting and rude and we didn’t need to hear it. I then told him if he wants to just get my mum drunk and screw her to go do it somewhere else.
The next day he texted me through my mums phone to apologize and said he wouldn’t do it again. I didn’t respond to the text.
BUT ANYWAYS to get to the point he is having sex again at my house with my mum, he is constantly over, and every time i talk to my mum and tell her that its inappropriate and that she is shoving him onto my family to quickly she just responds its my life and im happy now. blah blah blah. She acts like she cares but honestly doesn’t give a crap.
I’m sorry but when my sister comes in the room to get the blanket sitting on the bed that you are having sex on. you stop. not continue as she grabs the blanket off.
I apologize that this is so long, i;m really just upset. And I don’t know if i should just let it go and discard the fact that my sisters are very uncomfortable with it. Or if I should confront him and say something considering he said it wouldn’t happen again????
No, I’m definitely okay with them being separated. It was very good for the both of them. It’s just what I see is that he is constantly always getting her drunk and just trying to sleep with her. And then, if she doesn’t sleep with her I am the one her drunk butt cries to because they got in a fight over not having sex. I dunno I guess I just find they relationship immature and I want her to be happy.
